The videos on this tab are for iPad and iPad Pro users, and anyone else not using MS Word.

Word for iOS does not currently contain automatic citing and referencing tools, so we are suggesting you use a free, open-source citation manager called Zotero (https://www.zotero.org/ ). This is a very powerful tool that does much more than you need - if you want to explore its functionality, have a look at the documentation page.
At this level, we strongly advise you to use a Mac or Windows version of Word instead of Zotero if you have a choice over which device or software you can use, as it will be less work for you. If you don't have a choice, don't panic! Zotero is still a good option. Because Zotero is a bit more complex than the tools in Word, you will have a steeper learning curve so have an extra video to watch.
Those using Safari may have some issues accessing the embedded videos below. You will either need to use a different internet browser or change your security settings (see box to the right for details).

Notice for Mac users

Important notice for Mac users using Safari:
If you are having any problems accessing the embedded videos, this is probably because you have "Prevent cross-site tracking" switched on, which is the default option in Safari. You have two choices. You can either turn this setting off and refresh your browser screen (at which point the videos should allow you to sign in and should work) or you can use a different browser.
There are instructions below for turning off "Prevent cross-site tracking" in Safari. If you want to use a different browser, I use Firefox (available free here), but there are many other choices available.
