If anyone has ever read or written a journal article they know the lengthy list of citations that come at the end.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

References that can, at times, be several pages long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizing those references and citations in ways that fit the format and style for different journals can be one of the most daunting tasks for the author, said Ashok Mudgapalli, PhD, director of the Research IT Office at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many scientists have been using a licensed software program called Endnote, to help make this task easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with a cost associated with each license, the software was limited to those users who could afford it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help broaden access to everyone, Dr. Mudgapalli operationalized Endnote software distribution, a commercial reference management software package, used to manage bibliographies and references when writing essays, reports and articles that helps the user save time formatting citations.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt really makes their life easier, productive and saves a ton of time,\u201d Dr. Mudgapalli said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He credits the Nebraska INBRE program with first broadening access to more users with funding the program provided in 2021 that allowed Dr. Mudgapalli to buy 500 user licenses. The popularity of the program then prompted the vice-chancellor for research office to purchase a package that provides an unlimited number of licenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow all the partners in the IDEA CTR, COBRE and INBRE can request multiple licenses, whether you have one laptop or five,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
