Effective citation management involves several best practices:
Consistent Formatting: Ensure that all citations follow a consistent format. This can be achieved by using citation management software that automatically formats references. Regular Updates: Keep your citation database updated with new sources as you come across them. This prevents last-minute scrambles to find references. Categorization: Organize your citations by categories such as research topic, type of source, or date of publication. This makes it easier to locate specific references when needed.
