The aim of this course is to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and techniques to use the Mendeley referencing system when you are writing academic papers. It is a fantastic tool as you can focus on the content of your academic papers, while Mendeley looks after the references and the referencing style.

I have made 30-90 second videos to guide you to use this referencing tool effectively. As you need only 30-90 seconds to view a lesson, and thus to learn a new skill, you can watch these videos on the go. While you are waiting for a document to download, while you are on a bus, while you are waiting in a doctor's room, while you are waiting for the school to close for the day. But also while you are wondering how to reference a specific resource in your paper.

Research shows that people do not pay attention when videos are too long. I prefer to put the focus on you, my students, rather than being the sage on the stage.

I do not use anything else as I do not have time to struggle with references, I prefer to focus on the content of my academic papers.

Please note that Mendeley have made changes since the course have been published online. I am busy with new video material to include these changes.
