To cultivate students’ literature retrieval ability and to help them to have a clearer understanding of plagiarism, the Faculty of Finance and the Library of City University of Macau held an EndNote software and Turnitin system training session on 7 November, with the participation of a group of undergraduate students of 2019 from the Faculty of Finance. Ms. Ka Wun Cheang and Ms. Wai Tong Wan of Library, City University of Macau, introduced the use of the EndNote X9 software and Turnitin system to the students.

Turnitin is an internationally renowned system of paper originality comparison, which includes the operation of checking the similarity of papers and guiding modification. Ms. Ka Wun Cheang explained the operation steps of Turnitin in four parts with a synchronous display, including setting up an account, joining the class, finding the similarity of paper and checking the report. 

EndNote is an efficient bibliographic document management software. Ms. Wai Tong Wan detailed the whole process of using EndNote X9 for students to participate in and improve scientific research, which is mainly divided into four parts: document import, management, arrangement and submission. She also demonstrated the process from creating and managing of a personal EndNote library, to citation management in Word, and matching the most appropriate journal submission to give students a clearer picture of each step.

Thanks to the Library of City University of Macau for the excellent arrangement of relevant training and literature information, as well as the careful guidance of Ms. Ka Wun Cheang and Ms. Wai Tong Wan, the students benefited a lot.
