Managing Your Sources
Set up the library once and stop retyping references at midnight.

Everyone types their first reference list by hand and swears never again. A reference manager set up properly takes an hour and gives you a list that regenerates whenever you reorder a chapter, plus metadata that is actually correct — which imported PDFs rarely are until someone cleans them. We set it up on your machine and show you the three commands you need.
What you get
- Zotero or Mendeley configured for your style
- Your existing PDFs imported and cleaned
- Folders and tags that match your chapters
- The word processor plugin working
- A backup so the library survives a laptop failure
