Dr. Uday Al-Mayahi indicated that the goal of setting up the workshop is to use resource management software in writing scientific research and dissertations. He stated that this software enables researchers to enter the sources in a professional and easy way, which saves a lot of effort and time and follows the sources’ models according to the standards of sober international journals in Thomson Reuters and Scopus as well. It works to reduce the percentage of errors that may occur in the process of entering sources manually, in addition to creating a database of private sources for each researcher to be able to archive and use them online and desktop.
