Stressed About Writing?

Research and progress may not follow a linear trend; sometimes there are setbacks, and they happen to all of us. Although some of these setbacks might be inevitable, recovering from them can be challenging. If you are looking for individual one-on-one behavioral health support to help you bounce back from setbacks, the Center for Stress, Resilience, and Personal Growth (CSRPG) is here to support you. Their mission is to support the resilience and psychological well-being of the Mount Sinai community. The center offers confidential behavioral health care and resilience-training workshops to Mount Sinai staff, faculty, trainees, and medical and graduate students, as well as adult dependents and partners of Mount Sinai employees who are covered by the same insurance. You can contact them by phone or email 212-659-5564 or MS-CSRPG@mountsinai.org.

Style Guides & Citing References

Academic writing, such as a manuscript submitted for publication, is typically dictated by a style guide. A style guide provides guidelines for creating citations & bibliographies, as well as formatting your document and more. 

Some common style guides, or citation formats, are:

Reference Management

Reference management tools allow you to collect, organize, and store bibliographic information about source material such as journal articles, books, reports, and multimedia. A reference management tool also makes creating, formatting, and switching citation styles in bibliographies and in-text citations easy.

While there are many different reference management tools out there, the library offers support for EndNote and Zotero. Refer to the Reference Management Guide for tutorials and instructions on how to obtain a copy of Endnote or Zotero for your own use.
