Introduction

Graduate Researchers are encouraged to use a reference management program such as EndNote. A higher degree by research (HDR) thesis commonly has hundreds of references, so time spent at the beginning can save you many hours towards the end of your degree. 

Reference management programs provide many useful features that can help you with your research such as: 

  • storing and organising your references
  • generating citations and bibliographies in the style you prefer; and,
  • easily converting referencing styles to suit publication requirements  

It is important to choose a program that suits your needs. For an overview of the different programs available visit the 'Reference management for researchers (guide)’ page.

La Trobe University provides a free subscription to EndNote for all students and staff.
