Citations & Referencing

You can use your highlights (Atoms) in your work with automatically generated Citations that link you back to the source of your Atom. These Citations can also be used in a References Section so you can have a bibliography at the end of your writing. Here’s an overview on using Citations and References in your Workspace.

For a walkthrough of the following information head to YouTube:

Citations Property #

In Tables, you can make use of a Citations Property to automatically extract Reference Information from Sources you upload and import to your workspace, such as academic literature.

Use a Citations Property in your Tables to extract, edit and view Reference information.

To add a Citations Property, select Citation from the Property Type Dropdown. Once chosen there are some different Citation Style options to choose from.

Choose Citation from the Property Type Dropdown.

All new Papers added into your Table will have their Citation information automatically extracted and added into this Property.

Every Citation can be Edited, Copied and Automatically Extracted from the Source using the Options.

To manually extract citation information use the Citations Menu and select ‘Auto Extract’ from the available options. You can also Edit the Citation and Copy it to use elsewhere.

Embedding Atoms with Citations #

In Text Editor Pages you can drag and drop Atoms into the Page. This action embeds your Atom into your Page, adding the Atom Text, creating a Citation and adding a References Section to the bottom of your Page.

Drag and Drop Atoms to add them into your Pages. On the Left Side there is a Text Editor page and on the Right side there’s a Table displaying an Atom. Drag and drop this Atom onto the Text Editor Page to embed it.

To use your Atoms in a Text Editor Page, drag and drop them in from wherever you can see them in your workspace.

Atom embedded into a Text Editor Page. Dragging and dropping the Atom on display on the right side into the Page on the Left adds the Atom Text into the Page, creates a numbered citation and a References Section.

Once dropped into a Page, you will see the Atom text appear in your page, with a numbered citation next to it. This text is editable for you to integrate it into your writing.

Clicking the Citation next to your Embedded Atom links you back to the Source, and the exact location of your Atom.

Click the Citation to navigate back to the original source of your Atom. This Link takes you to the location of your Atom in the Source.

References Section #

When you Embed an Atom into a Page, at the bottom of your Page a References Section also appears. The Reference that appears here corresponds to the Citations extracted from your Source, and that list in the Table for the example shown here.

You can show/hide this References Section using the References Options Button

Hover on the References Title for the Reference Options Button to Appear. Here you can Show/Hide the References Section in your Page and add References in manually.

To show a References section once it’s been hidden you use the Toggle in the Page Options:

To display a hidden References Section, use the Page Options Menu.

Each of your References can also be Edited, Copied or Auto-Extracted with the same options as for Citations by using the 3 Dot Button next to each Reference

Reference Options are available for each individual reference, similar to the Options in the Citations Field in a Table

Editing Citations & References #

You can edit the details of your references in the Reference Section or in the Citation Property Field in a table. You can manually add in the details and import or upload exported Reference information from other reference management tools.

To edit your Reference choose the Edit option and then you can add and edit the information. There’s also options to import data by uploading reference manager files or pasting reference information such as a DOI, BibTex or RIS.
