The hands-on session titled “Mendeley: Reference management and research for early-career researchers” was organised for the finance group of UBS and conducted by Neha Gulati.

The objective of the two-and-a-half hour session was to facilitate researchers in augmenting innovativeness and manuscript writing skills.

Students explored features of the software and experimented with its functions to organise, handle and filter research in their personalised libraries.

“The participants were engrossed by the power of this software to automatically generate citations and bibliographies in thousands of different styles while preparing the manuscript. Thus, a novel pathway for literature search, archiving and retrieval has been initiated,” Gulati said.
