Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

According to the University of Toronto's Faculty of Arts and Science Student Academic Integrity website, Plagiarism is  "presenting the work, ideas, or words of another as your own, even by accident."

Which citation manager should I use?

Citation managers can help you:  

  • collect the citation information for books, articles, websites, and more 
  • automatically format in-text citations and bibliographies
  • save the citation information, PDFs and notes in the cloud
  • organize the research materials in folders or share folders with others

More info can be found in UofT Libraries Citation Management Guide (includes Mendeley) or this comparison chart of reference management software on Wikipedia for even more suggestions.
