Best Practices for Writing a Publishable Manuscript
To add a citation, in the Manuscript Editor, select the “Cite” icon:
This will bring up a list of all included studies. You can search for the study of interest, and then select it from the table:
Once you select the citation of interest, it will be added to your Manuscript Editor as a hyperlinked {Author, Year} in superscript. If clicked, the hyperlinked reference will open up the Reference list at the bottom of the page and automatically jump to the reference you have added.
For instructions on adding citation data to Updatable Tables, see here.
Your Reference list will be automatically appended to your Manuscript if you select “Download” in the upper right hand corner. The [Author, Year} citations will automatically be converted to sequential numbers.
The Reference List format for downloaded manuscripts is:
Last Name First Initial (first 3 authors), et al. Title. Journal Year;Volume:Issue:Page Range. DOI.
If you desire a different citation format, we recommend downloading your full reference list/library as a RIS Export and citing using a reference manager (e.g. Zotero).
To remove a citation from Manuscript, simply delete it. You can also copy and paste citations by highlighting the {Author, Year} and moving it to the appropriate location.
To edit the content of the Reference, you must exit the Manuscript feature and Edit the Reference in Inspector.
