Literature management

Literature management software can help you to prepare, organise and evaluate your references while writing a scientific paper. It also offers a range of useful additional functions, such as the creation of bibliographies.

This tutorial will teach you why references play a key role in writing a scientific paper and which sources are counted as "quote-worthy". You will also learn how to use direct and indirect quotes in an academic text and what to keep in mind when creating a bibliography.

Copyright laws and licences

When dealing with literature, images from the internet or lecture slides, there is no getting around the topic of copyright and licences. The basic rule is: wherever you work with third-party works, copyright regulations must be complied with. This makes open licences and free educational resources all the more interesting.
