How to Manage References — Tips on inserting citations; avoiding plagiarism

Session Agenda

Citations allow research scholars to acknowledge significant scientific contributions by other researchers in the same field and increase their credibility as a scientist. It also works as evidence for assertions and claims that researchers make in their manuscripts. Further, an exhaustive and methodical reference list is a hallmark of a well-informed researcher. We are glad to announce that The Royal Society of Medicine in collaboration with Karger Publishers and Enago conducted an interactive webinar that discussed good citation practices and shared tips to draft a well-organized bibliography. Through this session, researchers will have an improved understanding of the following:

• Why proper citation and referencing is important?
• Why and what should authors cite?
• How should researchers find and acknowledge sources?
• An overview of different citation styles
• Tips to avoid plagiarism while citing
• Paraphrasing and quoting
• Reference management tools
