Let's be honest - keeping track of all your references, writing citations, and make sure that everything that should be cited actually is... it's the worst. It's hands down the most most stressful part of any research project. Other than writing the thing.
But it doesn't have to be so hard!
There are already these magically little things called bibliographic managers and they exist solely to keep track of all your references, keep everything organized, and create in-text and bibliography citations for you!
