NoodleTools Tutorials

How to Create a Source Reference

1. Click Sources in the navigation bar at the top of the screen to begin adding references to a new project. 

2.  Click New Source

3. Choose the type of source you are using.  Think carefully, just because it's a website, there are different types of sources.  Choose the one that matches your source.

Once you select what the source is, a new citation form will appear in the next screen. 

 

The form tells you which information you need to include in your citation, according to your chosen citation style.  Fill in as many details about your source as possible. Help text pops up with tips as you move from field to field.

In the  upper right, you'll find a formatting guide. Click on this to open the tab and keep it open.  As you select each entry on the form, it will highlight in blue on the guide.  This allows you to check that you are completing all requirements as you go.


. As you type into a field, NoodleTools automatically checks for common errors with capitalization, abbreviations, and more. When a yellow warning triangle appears to the right of a field, mouse-over the triangle to view suggestions for how to correct the potential problem.

 

8. An Annotation field at the bottom of

ANNOTATION

Each citation allows you to create an annotation.

Below the Annotation field, the checkbox next to Include this source in my final bibliography (checked by default) allows you to add a source to your working bibliography but then omit it from your final exported version. 

Submit the form to add your reference to your source list.
