You will also have begun to develop a list of peer-reviewed journal articles, texts, and other scholarly works, hopefully many written with an anti-oppressive lens. You may find that, throughout your MSW journey, a reference management tool like the one found in Academic Writer or the Capella library (RefWorks) to be very helpful.
