  1. Bibliography/Reference management software

  2. Citations & bibliography Two places to cite the references you have used • In-text citation (within a sentence) • Bibliography/References (at the end of the document) author-date

  3. Citation styles (http://libguides.nus.edu.sg/citation) • Author-date system E.g. APA style (American Psychological Association) • Numerical system E.g. ACS style (American Chemical Society) E.g. AIP style (American Institute of Physics) In-text citation Bibliography

  4. Managing references using Video

  5. EndNote A software that • Stores and organises references from many sources • Inserts these references in a Word document • Formats references automatically according to a predefined citation style

  6. Online Guide (http://libguides.nus.edu.sg/endnote)

  7. EndNote installation for PC http://libguides.nus.edu.sg/endnote Contact NUS IT Care (x62080, itcare@nus.edu.sg)

  8. EndNote installation for Mac Email software administrator for instructions

  9. Create your EndNote library • Launch EndNote program • Filemenu > New … > filename.enl • Save • E.g. • pc5198.enl • pc5198.Data

  10. Ways to add references to EndNote library • Direct export • Online search • Import PDF • Manual input • Import file EndNote Library

  11. Method 1: Direct export Export references directly from a database Steps • Select records required • Look for an option to save/output/export/send to EndNote (sometimes labeled as “RIS format”) • Click “Open” to download records to EndNote library Databases • Web of Science • FindMore • Google Scholar

  12. Method 2: Online search Searches free databases and library catalogues within EndNote (e.g. our library catalogue, Library of Congress) Steps • Go to Online Search Mode > More • Select a free database or catalogue, e.g. NATL U of Singapore • In the online search pane, search by exact title of book • Copy the reference to Local Library Mode

  13. 1. Click on Online Search Mode (Temporary Library) Search by the exact title 2. Select more

  14. Method 3: Import PDFs Extracts references from PDF files. PDFs must contain a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and is not a scanned document. Steps • Filemenu > Import • Choose either Fileor Folder • Change ImportOptionto PDF Note If the author, title, journal, etc, fields are not auto-populated, then the PDF is of the incorrect format

  15. Method 4: Manual Inputting Link to the video: http://youtu.be/30u5_b9d5D4

  16. Method 5: Import File • Requires saving references selected as a text file (*.txt) and importing it to EndNote library using an appropriate filter • Used for very few databases, e.g. Factiva, where the references cannot be exported to EndNote library directly • Refer to EndNote LibGuide> Importing references for the specific steps

  17. Tips • No limit to the number of references in each library but < 100,000 is recommended • Always move/copy/rename/delete both the main *.enlfile& associated *.Data folder together • Always make a backup copy • Save as a compressed library (*.enlx) for larger files

  18. Tips • Groups provide a useful way of organising the references into subsets for easy viewing • Remove duplicatesReferences > Find duplicates

  19. Direct export • Online search • Import PDF • Manual input • Import file EndNote Library (MS Word) Integrating references into your paper(Cite-While-You-Write)

  20. EndNote toolbar in MS Word

  21. Insert citations Method 1: Find Citation a. EndNote X6 tab: Insert citation > Find Citation b. Search for a word in any field (e.g. title, author) c. Select the reference(s) >Insertinto your paper Method 2: Insert Selected Citation(s) In EndNote library, select the reference(s) Go to Word and place cursor at insertion point Click on Insert Citation > Insert Selected Citation(s)

  22. Edit & remove references a a. Remove a citation if you no longer want to cite it. Edit a reference here instead of changing it manually on the Word document. b. Use this to excludeauthororyearin the in-text reference, or addpagenumber. b

  23. Change style & create a bibliography • To change the citation style Style>Select Another Style… • To create a bibliography section • Click on bottom right corner ofBibliographygroup >Layout>Bibliographytitle • Type “References”

  24. Field shading setting in Word Top left corner: Drop down arrow > More Commands > Advanced> Show document content > Field shading > change to “Always” 1 3 4 2

  25. Back up your library Method 1: Save a copy • File>Save a Copy… • Creates an exact copy of the EndNote library & its associated folder, e.g. Method 2: Compress library • File>Compressed Library • Saves the *.enlfile and *.Data folder asa compressed file, e.g. • To restore,File > Open > OpenLibrary…

  26. Travelling library • Creates an EndNote library (new) from the references used in a paper • EndNote X6 Tab > ToolsGroup >Export to EndNote >Export Traveling Library

  27. Convert to plain text • EndNote X6 tab > Bibliographygroup> Convert Citations and Bibliography>Convert to Plain Text • Save the plain text Word document created (with no field codes) under a NEW name • Keep the original document with the field codes as your master file • Remove field codes before sending document to a publisher

  30. Managing references using

  31. Websites HyperText Markup Language (HTML)

  32. What is LaTeX?

  33. About LaTeX • A document markup language & document preparation system for high quality typesetting • Based on TeX, a low-level markupand programming language created by Donald Knuth in 1977 for use in computer typesetting • A LaTeX document is a plain text file containing the document content with additional markup • When the source file is processed by the macro package, it produces documents in several formats (DVI, PDF, PostScript, PNG, JPEG, etc)

  34. Using LaTeX Requires a bunch of tools, minimally, • TeX distribution - a collection of packages and programs (compilers, fonts, and macro packages) • Text editor E.g. TeXworks, LyX(Windows, Linux and Mac OS), TeXstudio (cross platform open source), WinEdt (Windows), etc • Viewer (DVI or PDF)

  35. Create a bibliography in a LaTex document Method 1:Embed the references at the end of the LaTeXdocument as shown in the following example. Just before the\end{document} command, \begin{thebibliography}{9} \bibitem{lamport94} Leslie Lamport, \emph{\LaTeX: A Document Preparation System}. Addison Wesley, Massachusetts, 2nd Edition, 1994. \end{thebibliography} Unique ref_key End Start Actual reference

  36. Use the \cite command to cite references within the text List of references used in document

  37. Create a bibliography in a LaTex document Method 2: Using the ancillary tool BibTeX • BibTeX provides for the storage of all references in an external, flat-file database which can be linked to any LaTeX document. Citations can then be made to any reference that is contained within the file. • A BibTeX database is a plain text file and is stored as a *.bibfile which is easily edited using a GUI management system such as JabRef or Mendeley (cross platform)

  38. \cite{bibtex_key} \bibliographystyle{plain} \bibliography{bib_filename}

  39. Sample of a BibTeX entry bibtex key (unique) @article{greenwade93, author = "George D. Greenwade", title = "The {C}omprehensive {T}ex {A}rchive {N}etwork ({CTAN})", year = "1993", journal = "TUGBoat", volume = "14", number = "3", pages = "342--351" }

  40. JabRef

  41. JabRef • Is an open source reference management software (Free) • Current version 2.9.2, http://jabref.sourceforge.net • Is Java-based, so is platform/OS independent • Uses BibTeX files (*.bib) as its native format • Provides a easy-to-use GUI for editing BibTeX entries • Provides filters to import other file format (e.g. *.ris) and data from databases such as Medline, JSTOR, etc

  42. Exercise • Create a *.bib file in JabRef • Import references from • Web of Science • Scopus • FindMore • Google Scholar • Generate bibtex keys • Create groups to manage bibtex entries • Find duplicates • Export > HTML table (with abstract & bibtex)

  43. BibTeX key auto generation Shows the bibtex format of the reference

  44. Exchange between EndNote & JabRef Export EndNote file (*.enl) Plain text file (*.txt) Using Output style: BibTeX Export Change file extension from *.txt to *.bib Direct Import Import option: Reference Manager (RIS) Direct Import Export JabRef (*.bib) *.ris File of types: RIS (*.ris) Note: BibTeX key will not be generated by EndNote
