This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

Nothing’s worse than the crushing realization that despite finishing your essay, you still have to spend the final hours before your deadline writing out your reference list. Worse still, nobody you know seems to understand exactly how you’re meant to cite in the first place. Even your professors all tell you something different. So stop worrying about your citations; we have the solution! Download the RefME app for free here, or sign up at RefME.com to get your bibliography done in a matter of minutes.

With RefME, you no longer have to waste your precious time researching, alphabetizing and sorting out your resources. The cloud-based mobile and web tool will do it for you, no strings attached. You don’t even have to pay a single cent. All you have to do is download the mobile app or login on to RefME on your computer where all of your citations will be synced and stored. 

Using the mobile app, all you need to do is scan your book or journal’s barcode using the phone’s camera—it couldn’t get any easier! Don’t have the book in hand?

For the frustrated collegiette who usually pulls her hair out over the manual process, it’s a completely magical experience—trust us!
