Abstract

Thesis is a form of scientific work in a particular field of study written by undergraduate students (S-1) according to scientific guidelines at the end of their studies. The IPS IAIN Ponorogo Tadris study program facilitates students to find convenience in writing thesis. This is done so that students can write a thesis properly and correctly, especially how to make the correct citations and references according to the specified guidelines. Based on this, it is necessary to carry out training that can provide knowledge about writing citations and references with application stones. The main objective of this service is to educate students through Mendeley training as a reference tool, thereby improving the quality of student theses, especially in how to write citations and references. The results of Mendeley's training as a reference tool in the Tadris IPS student thesis Iain Ponorogo were successfully implemented with a success rate of 85%. This can be seen from the ability of students to be able to create Mendeley accounts independently, to integrate installation and operation between the Mendeley application and Microsoft Office Word, to make citations or citations with Mendeley. Students are able to write references or bibliography with Mendeley. There are several factors that cause the success rate of this training to be high, including: 1) the ease of features in using the Mendeley application, 2) the existence of a guide sheet, and 3) hands-on practice.
