23. To fulfil Our academic requirements we are
writing a research papers, project reports and
thesis etc
For writing any paper, number of sources
on the same subject is consulted and help
is taken from many of them.
When any information is used in the process
of writing, it becomes important to mention
from where the information has been taken.

32. What is RMS ?
• Citation of any research work is an integral part.
• Collecting, reading, managing and inserting citation is time
consuming task.
• We come across lot of publication which are relevant to our
research area.
• However, it is bit difficult for us to remember which research
work we had refered for our ongoing research.
• Reference Management System allows researchers to
collect, organize and insert citations while writng research
report.

33. Need of Reference Management
Software
 Enhance the Presentation and citation of Research
 To give due credit to authors
 Avoid plagiarism
 Time saving tool for writing research paper

37. Some Style Manuals
 Chicago Style Manual
 MLA Style Manual and Guide to scholarly Publishing
 ACS Style Guide: Effective Communication of scientific
information
 AIP Style Manual. (American Institute of Physics)
 American Political Science Association Committee on

114. To Sum-up
 Each cited BR carries a message to the
scholars.
 Hence references ought to be
sufficiently complete.
 For authentication of one’s research
output and to avoid plagiarism which
can cause adverse consequences , use
the RMT .
 You should create your profiles for
boosting research visibility .

115.  Academic libraries should take advantage of the
opportunities presented by technological advances
to improve their research support services.
 Librarians should increase skills required for
linking researchers to a wide range of digital
resources, and helping them make choices among
materials available in the public domain on the
Internet
 There should be Librarian-researcher partnerships
to support research.
 Universities management should take the issue of
library funding as critical for the development and
management of research support services.
