DETAILED Steps for Adding a Source
DETAILED Steps for Adding a Source
Step 1: Navigate to the Sources screen. You can access it via two ways: 1) on the Projects screen, click the project's "Sources" icon in the "Contents" column,
or 2) open your project by clicking on its title, which defaults to the Sources screen.
Step 2: Click the green New Source button in the upper-right corner.
Step 3: You will be prompted to select where the source is (in print, on the web, in a database, etc.) and then what it is (a book, a blog post, a journal, a TV program, etc.). The choices will vary depending on what project level you selected. Below is an example of one using Advanced level.
Step 4: Once you select a source type, the citation form appears.
Step 5: On the form, fill in as many details about your source as possible. Help text is often available when you put your cursor inside a field. Click on the blue information ("i") icon to view the tip.
Step 6: Click Save to generate the source citation. If there are multiple citations in your source list, a link "Jump to a citation I just created" at the top the list will take you to the new citation that you just created (which is also highlighted in your list).
Step 7: To edit a source citation, click the "More" (three dots) menu next to the entry and select "Edit." Modify the information about your source. You can:
Correct individual fields.
Use the dropdown list(s) at the top of the form to change the source or content types.
Modify the publication medium if necessary by selecting a different one on the left (e.g. "Website" instead of "Print"). Add any new data required if you have updated the publication medium or source/content type.
Click Save.
