Mendeley is an open source free manager of bibliographic references. It widely used among researchers due to its robustness and versatility. In particular it can import/export bibliographic references from/to any kind of desired formats (e.g. it can import/export references in bibtex format).

Here we proposed its use because Medeley has a plugin for Ms Word (format imposed by the Ministry), which insert directly your references in the text (e.g. in the form of [number] or Author et al., etc.)

Tip	The Mendely Word plugin is installed from the desktop application

It can also insert the list of references for instance at the end of the document (or wherever you need it). A usage guide can be found here.

Tip	For an optimum use of the Word plugin, it is recommended to group your PLATO2.0 references in a folder (inside the desktop app). This way you will select your references only from your specific set of references for PLATO2.0

Another interesting feature is the web importer with which you can easily import a reference to Mendeley just by one click, for instance once selected a reference in ADS.
