Although importing records can save you a lot of time, it is important to understand that it is not always 100% accurate. This means that it is essential to carefully check the records imported, and correct any mistakes or inaccuracies. Mistakes in the records in your library will translate into mistakes in your in-text citations and reference list entries. |
