Creating References
Click on the orange “+” to create a new reference.
Creating References
Choose from the different options which type of document your reference is.
Creating References
Then, enter in the search box some information about your document. For a book, it’s best to enter its ISBN (number under the barcode behind the book).
Creating References
For a journal article, enter its DOI to find the exact article instantly.
Both the ISBN and the DOI are unique numbers identifying a document.
Creating References If you have a URL to a page describing the document (on the publisher’s website for example), it also works very well.
Creating References
If you don’t have those, no worries: just enter a few words from the title and / or the name of the author.
Creating References Choose among the different options proposed by clicking on the one that looks the most like your document.
Creating References Once you’ve found your document, check each field one by one to make sure that all the information is correct.
Creating References
If you can’t find the document through RefMe, you can always enter it manually instead by clicking “Enter manually”.
Creating References
Enter the information for your reference the best you can. Re-read yourself several times to make sure you don’t leave any typo. Once you’re finished, click on “Save”. Repeat the process for all your documents.
Exporting your Reference List
Exporting your Reference List
Once you have added all the references, you need, you can export them to create your reference list. Click on “Export”.
Exporting your Reference List
You can export your references in many different formats. The easiest one to use is just “copy and paste”. Click on that one.
Creating References
Your reference list appears. You just have to copy and paste it into your document.
That’s all for today!
