EndNote 21: Citation and Reference Management Tool
Writing a research paper is a complex and challenging task for both students and experienced researchers. The task of composing a research paper poses intricate challenges to both novice and experienced researchers. The intricacies lie in the demand for papers to be comprehensive, analytical, methodologically sound, and adherent to rigorous structural guidelines. An integral component of this process involves an exhaustive review of the literature, which requires considerable time, effort, and analytical insight. However, navigating this complexity becomes more manageable through meticulous planning and the use of applications and tools designed to streamline information organisation and enhance overall research results.
