[swingking338]

Have you looked at mendeley desktop

[lynx2cross]

WIsh I knew about this app a month ago for a thesis paper, I'm sure I will need it for future papers, glad your doing a review on it.

[pence117]

What is the name of that app that you have in your desktop toolbar that shows what your upload and download speed is?? I thought it was called itracker, but i am thinking not... lol... let me know please!!! thanks!!

[tylrbob]

Does anyone have the registration code???

[dapplef]

why not just use KnightCite?

[92EXC]

Excelent review! As usual, actually... Unfortunately i have a PC with win7... Is there a PC version of this software? I couldn't find it using google....

[eltajo22]

That is sick! I used to use easybib but sometimes it looks glitchy - this looks awesome! I love adding reference from current safari page! Awesome! Thanks for the review - Don't listen to the haters who don't like your long videos!

[swingking338]

If only I had known about this during my masters degree

[dastrman2]

[PepitoIngles]

Hey Adrian,

I definately agree with you! I will be getting this application! What if the book isn't on Amazon though? This has happened to me quite a lot with my degree!

Free Firefox plugin, Zotero, has many included citation styles and a style editor for modifying or creating styles.

[BigMTBrain]

Forgot to mention: The Zotero Firefox plugin has its own plugin architecture that allows third parties to develop new features for the system. There are several available listed in the Documentation section of the Support tab on their site.

I think I still prefer Bibme.org.

[jackthealligator]

Easybib.com?

Brilliant application....definitely useful for my last year in university. I thought universities in UK use the Harvard reference style, was told by my lecturers.

[jaysenstudios]

cool, but im only in secondary school :)

[SecretAsianMan7]

we know what references are you don't need 2 minutes of fluff

[DRBUK]

@SecretAsianMan7 lol just because you know what references are it doesn't mean everyone else does, my audience is not just comprised of people who are at college or university, i have a diverse audience in terms of age groupings, so be a bit considerate to those, thanks

[SecretAsianMan7]

@DRBUK All those who have any use for the software is currently in or will have passed through university - therefore they will have encountered academic papers and will have needed to use references.

Furthermore, I think unnecessary time is spent reading information on the screen - such as the two different types each of Harvard, APA, MLA, Chicago. I appreciate your videos but I often find myself having to skip ahead to the relevant information

[DRBUK]

@SecretAsianMan7 lol you cant assume that, ive had 10 people email me saying what is reference tracker, what do you mean by references and should i buy this before i go to university ? lol so please again think of others, and ye perhaps i didn't need to read through all of those types of referencing, and ye thats cool, you can forward it if you dont want to watch it, thats no problem !

[Tman2295]

Adrian, I sent you a message earlier this month about Mac Apps for my computer because I'm going back to school. Do you think this would be a good one for me?

[ShakeAndBakeGuy]

I love this! I wish I would have had this earlier. I hate doing Work Cited so much! haha

[MyRandomReviews]

Great review, everything covered as usual! :D

[EdR8213]

Great review, I'll be sure to buy this when I go to uni.

[Cynicology]

No Oxford style support? :(

[najam133]

DRB, intereting app, and yes like so many other people! too late bro! lol... nonetheless i will probably still be investing in this app because i hope to do masters soon but the way i used to harvard reference was with this website... neilstoolboxdotcom - excellent website and works in exactly the same way as the app - you just fill out the details and click generate.

Good work!

[iMacwizzo]

absolutely BRILLIANT app, just bought it and love it as lots of college courses require legible references in the Harvard style so this is perfect although i do agree the vancouver style is nicer

[zippovoice]

awesome review drbuk! Thumbs up!

[Digitall3]

Awww, 3 weeks too late :( I hated referencing my dissy.

[DRBUK]

@Digitall3 ahh lol good luck on that ! 

[michaelmckeever9]

Great vid. Thanks.

[TechGeekProductions]

What are your ScreenFlow settings? How much space did this video take up? Where did you get that background?

[DRBUK]

@TechGeekProductions my screenflow settings are default, i havent tweaked them since i got screenflow, i should tweak it to get HD but i think ill leave it for now ! the video was about 42MB lol screenflow movies are so so small compared to imovie ! thats why a lot of youtubers film with screenflow rather than imovie ! pm me your email address and ill try find the wallpaper !

[TechGeekProductions]

@DRBUK Could I have a shoutout?

[foleymnufc]

Another solid video DRBUK

[korwinblue]

EndNote isn't THAT bad.

Why is it bad that the software isn't written on Cocoa?

[DRBUK]

@korwinblue end note is just not as easy to use, like i said ive talked to senior people and they just don't like it, GRANTED them and I have been using an older version of end note, i have yet to use the latest version of end note for referencing so i will have to wait and see ! cocoa is just so much nicer, feels more native to the mac, also i beleive apps take full advantage of the features of mac os in cocoa, DONT QUOTE ME ON THAT, thats what i understand !

[DRBUK]

@korwinblue i dont want to fuss about and try to get into end note, the point is i get an assignment, i dont have time to learn end note, reference tracker took about 20-30 mins to get into ! easy !

[korwinblue]

@DRBUK It does look simpler than EndNote... and cheaper! But its only on OSX.

[DRBUK]

@korwinblue ye sadly lol but the developer, jim is a cocoa consultant so you can see why hes only going to make a mac version lol but i pass the message on to him !

[ThePhildalegend]

nicee, where did u get ur wallpaper from?

[DRBUK]

@ThePhildalegend i have no idea lol it was a while ago, but i will see if i can find it, PM me your email address so if i find it i can email it to you !
