Under the patronage of the Dean of the College of Engineering, Prof. Dr. Ghassan Hameed Abdul Majeed, and the supervision of the Head of the Chemical Engineering Department, Assistant Prof. Dr. Rasha Habib Salman, the Department of Chemical Engineering held a training workshop in collaboration with Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University as part of the ASDPS program for developing postgraduate research skills. The workshop, titled “Professional Methods for Writing Scientific References for Research and Theses Using EndNote Software,” took place on Monday, December 9, 2024, in Prof. Dr. Mahdi Hantoush Hall.
The workshop was delivered by both Assistant Prof. Dr. Musleh Amer Saleh from the Civil Engineering Department (Construction Materials Engineering) at Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University and Lecturer Hala Majid Mohi from the Department of Chemical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Baghdad.
The event aimed to train postgraduate students and faculty researchers on the professional use, organization, management, and storage of references, as well as their integration into scientific research, master’s theses, and doctoral dissertations. The workshop included an introduction to the importance of the EndNote software, which is endorsed by global institutions such as Clarivate and Google Scholar. EndNote serves as a reference manager that helps researchers save time formatting citations, enabling them to focus on their research.
Participants were trained on how to use EndNote to build a digital library of references required for citation purposes.
The workshop concluded with recommendations to further develop the research skills of postgraduate students and researchers by encouraging them to utilize modern software for writing and organizing scientific references in a professional, simple, and efficient manner for their theses and scientific research.
