refDot by Google.


Hello,

Just discovered an easy way for students or generally academics to organize their references with the help of an extension in Google chrome.

refDot is a very useful tool that helps to keep of references and also for formatting references for bibliography purposes. As we all know that this is a vital part of our research or assignment so as to avoid plagiarism which is a criminal offence.

refDot can be used anytime you view a website, a journal online, an online book and also news articles over the internet. All you have to do is click on the icon refDot in your browser. After clicking the icon it will open  another window where you will be required to put all the details you need to make a bibliography.

 



An example is you viewing my blog post 
(my world) and you wish to reference it i a bibliography. All you have to do is click on the refDot icon and the pop - up box will prompt you to enter the date of access, url , title , name of author and year.
