Mastering Citations – Practical Guidance for Early Career Researchers

At African Online & Publications Library (AOPL), one of the recurring challenges we have observed among early career researchers, particularly PhD students preparing their first scientific articles, is the difficulty of managing citations and referencing correctly. These issues often delay publication, create unnecessary frustration, and undermine otherwise solid research.

To respond to this need, AOPL is partnering with the Association of African Researchers in Central and Eastern Europe (AARCEE) to host a focused online webinar titled Mastering Citations: Practical Guidance for Early Career Researchers, taking place during the last weekend of January 2026.

What the session will address

Understanding major citation styles

Using citation management tools (Zotero, Mendeley, etc.)

Avoiding common citation and referencing errors

Ensuring citation integrity and academic honesty

Host: Dr. Ransom Tanyu Ngenge

President of AARCEE, Founder of AOPL, Editor-in-Chief of the AOPL Journal of Social Sciences
