Referencing made easy: this new time-saving app will save you from essay hell

ReferenceME will have your dissertation bibliography written in mere minutes

| UPDATED

It’s taken all night but, at last, barely an hour before the deadline, you’ve finally finished your essay. There’s only one problem: you still need to write out your references.

Widely considered to be the worst aspect of writing any piece of university work, flicking through library books and e-journals in a search for publisher names and publication dates is a tiresome chore. The only thing worse is trying to remember how you’re meant to format your bibliography.

However, that could be all about to change. To download the app click here or visit the ReferenceME website for more information.

ReferenceME: now available on iPhone, Android, and the web

ReferenceME is an award winning iPhone and Android app that can help you compile your references in a matter of minutes. Now it’s available on the web too putting all your references in the cloud, ensuring students have no excuses to still be writing up their bibliography the old fashioned way.

ReferenceME is easy and intuitive to use. Even this guy was able to figure it out.

How does it work? Just use your phone to scan the barcodes of the books and journals you’ve used, and the app does all the hard work for you. Within minutes your pile of books will be converted alphabetically into a bibliography using Harvard (and other styles) that you can paste into your essay or dissertation.
