    I’m so old that the last time I wrote a research paper, it was on a word processor with no Internet connection or spell check.

    Given such constraints, I can’t fathom the concept of waiting until the end to add all the references. If I didn’t do it as I went, I’d have surely died.

    I should add that we always read each other’s papers before submission to get a second set of eyes for errors, misspellings, and grammatical quagmires. It was mutually beneficial as the reviewing made us all better. Is that still a common practice?

    Use Zotero

    …jesus-tapdancing-christ-on-a-cracker, batman! How have I never heard of this?! I just pulled up a few videos on Zotero and this shit looks amazing!

    I’m a semester into nursing school, and I know the higher we push that degree up, the more writing - and more strict with citations - the content becomes.

    I’m downloading the shit out of this.

    Thank you so much for making that your title!!
