Typing up references – a sometimes dreaded but necessary part of academic life. There are lots of tools out there that can help. From simple citation generators to more complex reference management software.

Here at Strathclyde, we provide support for referencing in lots of ways:

We are always looking for ways to enhance the support we give.

If you have been in the library recently you might have noticed our quick survey on referencing tools.

Now that we have seen some of the tools you use, we want to know more. What do you like about the tools you use? What do you find challenging?

This will help us gain a better understanding of how we can best support you.

You can complete our Referencing tools user survey online. The survey will be running until 16 March 2025.
