'Yes You Do Need To Reference That': a Crash Course in Good Academic Practice (for researchers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Medicine)

In this session, you will be shown handy tools, such as the reference manager Zotero, that can do a lot of the hard work for you as well as managing your literature and reading throughout your research and beyond.
