Ci­ta­tions and Bib­li­og­ra­phy

Ci­ta­tions

Inkwell of­fers ci­ta­tion func­tion­al­i­ty. It can for­mat your ci­ta­tions ac­cord­ing to a wide va­ri­ety of styles and build out your bib­li­og­ra­phy. Ci­ta­tion in­for­ma­tion can be en­tered au­to­mat­i­cal­ly, fetched from ex­ter­nal data­bas­es, or pulled from your ci­ta­tion man­ag­er.

To in­sert a ci­ta­tion, click on the In­sert Ci­ta­tion but­ton in the menu bar.

A pop-up ap­pears.

Search for ci­ta­tions by:

1. DOI

2. Web ad­dress

3. Search terms

If you en­ter search terms, Inkwell will search the data­base from your ci­ta­tion man­ag­er or Se­man­tic Schol­ar. For best re­sult, we rec­om­mend in­te­grat­ing with a ci­ta­tion man­ag­er. We sup­port both Zotero and Mende­ley. If you do not have an ac­count with ei­ther provider, click on the Zotero and Mende­ley links to sign up for the ap­pro­pri­ate ac­count. Once you have the ac­count, click the ap­pro­pri­ate link but­ton.

If you click the Zotero but­ton a new win­dow will open, re­quest­ing that you cre­ate a New Pri­vate Key. Inkwell will show in the De­scrip­tion box. Click the Ac­cept De­faults link.

If you click the Mende­ley but­ton, you will be prompt­ed to sign into your Mende­ley or El­se­vi­er ac­count. Once you have signed it, you will be redi­rect­ed back to Inkwell. Once you see the suc­cess mes­sage, close the win­dow and re­turn to your doc­u­ment.

To in­sert a ci­ta­tion from Se­m­a­nat­ic Schol­ar or your ci­ta­tion data­base, sim­ply search for the pa­per:

Click the de­sired pa­per, the save but­ton, or push en­ter to in­sert the ci­ta­tion into your doc­u­ment.

If the re­source that you want to cite is un­avail­able from any of your sources, you can in­sert it man­u­al­ly us­ing the “Man­u­al Ci­ta­tion” but­ton.

The ci­ta­tion will be in­sert­ed as a foot­note in the ed­i­tor. For ci­ta­tion styles that do not call for the use of foot­notes, it will still be shown as a foot­note in the ed­i­tor, but not in the pre­view and out­put. To see the de­tails of the ci­ta­tion click on the foot­note num­ber.

In or­der to mod­i­fy the de­tails of a ci­ta­tion, click the “Edit Ci­ta­tion” but­ton: . There is a blank space be­tween the ci­ta­tion text and the pe­ri­od. This is to en­ter in a spe­cif­ic lo­ca­tion in the book, such as a page num­ber.

Bib­li­og­ra­phy

If you in­sert a bib­li­og­ra­phy sec­tion from the In­sert Menu on the Chap­ter List, it will add a sec­tion that au­to­mat­i­cal­ly col­lects all of your ci­ta­tions into a bib­li­og­ra­phy. You can change the style of the bib­li­og­ra­phy un­der the lo­cal set­tings of the bib­li­og­ra­phy.
