Are Essays Stressing You Out? Breathe and Read Carefully!
It’s crunch time for university students. While some are studying endlessly to pass the term exam, others are digging deep for information resources. The research process can be a pain in the brain, so for all those secondary-resource seekers, here is a quick tip that will help ease the end of the process.
Now, this tip is not exclusive to university students. In fact it can be used by anybody who is annoyed by the particularities of creating a bibliography, so high school students and researchers listen up!
In most electronic databases, like Academic OneFile, General OneFile, etc. there are quick tools that allow you to email or export a citation.
