Citation management<\/strong> refers to the organization of references to sources used in academic or technical work. It involves tracking citations for articles, books, patents, and reports, ensuring proper attribution and facilitating easy retrieval of source materials. Citations<\/strong> are standardized references that acknowledge sources of information, ideas, or research used in a work. Using citation management tools (such as EndNote, Mendeley, or Zotero), researchers can efficiently organize references, format them according to specific citation styles, and integrate citations directly into documents. This is essential in engineering research, as it ensures accuracy, prevents plagiarism, and maintains the credibility of work by consistently acknowledging all sources, which is critical for reproducibility and ethical scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Evaluate the structure<\/strong> of a citation and its purpose<\/li>\n\n\n\n
