Reference management tools help researchers and students collect, organise, and share literature references according to international standards. At NWU, we use EndNote, a widely trusted tool for managing references, searching bibliographic databases, and creating bibliographies, which must be properly installed and regularly updated for full compatibility with your system and word processor.
EndNote support is available to NWU postgraduate students and staff. Undergraduate students are encouraged to use Referella instead.
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor Identification) is an open, not-for-profit organisation that aims to supply a persistent and unique identifier - an ORCID ID - to any individual involved in research, scholarship, and innovation activities.
