If you have ever felt being a dummy in every time citing references, if citation creates a huge problem in your academic life; this course is made for you.
When I started writing my thesis, i faced a huge problem because i added the references manually, and the problem was that one of my supervisor professors asked me to reorder many paragraphs in different parts of thesis. This created additional stress on me because i have to change the order of 15 to 20 within the article, and this affected the whole references’ sequence number. I felt down, and decided to learn one of the available citation managers available. I tried Mendeley, and Endnote, however; i found Zotero much easier, i looked like it was made for dummies, i did not need special skills to learn, just practice. Overtime, i developed a lot of experience using the program, i taught my colleagues how to use it, and hence the idea of the course came out.
