LibGuides: Search Techniques: Managing your results

Organising the search results you get from searching in specialist databases.

There are many online cite options, referencing tools and apps that are not supported by Bournemouth University (e.g. Zotero, Mendeley, MyBib's Free Harvard Referencing Generator, RefWorks, Ref Chef, BibGuru, EasyBib, Cite This For Me, Neil's Toolbox and Citavi).
Currently BU only endorses and supports the use of Endnote (online and desktop).

Endnote Online and Desktop

EndNote is reference management software that helps you organise and insert citations and reference lists when writing university work.
Any student, researcher or member of staff can use the online version of Endnote. There is also a desktop version. Endnote works with Microsoft Word to generate your citations and reference list.
Further information can be found using our online guide Endnote: reference management software.

Most BU students follow instructions in the BU Harvard Referencing guide.

If you're a BU student studying one the following courses, you use a different referencing style and other instructions:

Law students (FMC) should follow BU’s online guides Referencing – UK & EU Law and Referencing – International law.
Psychology students (SciTech) should follow APA style.
History students (FMC) should follow Chicago Style.
Criminology with Psychology (HSS) students need to use both BU Harvard and APA
Criminology with Law (HSS) students use BU Harvard and OSCOLA referencing style guidance - UK & EU Law and International Law. Any questions please email HSS Library Team (hsslibteam@bournemouth.ac.uk).
