About CiteWrite

To enter references for your document, use CiteWrite.

CiteWrite is a limited version of Citation Bibliographic and Research Note Software, specifically for use with the Dr Paper templates.

Here's an overview of how CiteWrite works:

First, enter the bibliographic information for the articles, books, web pages, and other source works you have consulted while researching the issues covered in your paper into one of the notecard-like forms.

Next, you will use CiteWrite to format the intext cites for your paper.

Finally, you'll use CiteWrite to generate the bibliography, or Reference List, for your paper.

Before you begin following the step by step instructions, please have a look at the guidelines for entering bibliographic information, and browse through the list of sample records.


GUIDELINES FOR ENTERING BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION IN CITEWRITE

Whether you are entering records by typing in the information, or using the Online Researcher to collect bibliographic information for you, you will need to know just a few rules.

Author names.
Always enter author names in the order in which they appear on the title page, and invert the first and last names. Enter ALL the author names on the title page, in the order in which they are printed on the title page.

When there is more than one author, separate the names of the individuals with a semi-colon:

Smith, Jane R.; Wilson, James B.; Lee, R. W.

Dates
Enter the year of publication in the Year field. For books, the year of publication is usually listed on the copyright page. For web pages, the year of publication is sometimes listed at the bottom of the page. If there is no date, type n. d. in the Year field.

2004
n. d.

Enter the month of publication in the Day/Month field.

January 24
Spring

For web pages, enter the day and year on which you accessed the page in the Accessed field

August 10, 2005

If you are working mainly with web pages, please see the help file page on Citing Web Pages.

Book, article, collection and web page titles.
Enter titles in lower case. Citation will capitalize the words that need to be capitalized when you write your references.

Meditation and health care: newly discovered benefits

Journal Names
Capitalize all significant words in Journal Names; do not include leading articles (e.g., a, an, the)

New York Times

Inclusive Pages.
The inclusive pages for an article are the page on which an article begins, and the page on which it ends.

221-239

Specific page.
If you are citing a particular quote, enter the page on which that quote appears.

Keywords.
You can enter several keywords to tag entries as having to do with a particular topic. Separate keywords with a semicolon:

Abstract.
You can enter a brief summary of the work in the Abstract field if you like.

Internet article, based on a print source
In many cases, articles published on the internet are duplicates of articles printed in the traditional journal. The APA manual indicates that if this is the case, and you are certain that the page numbering and text of the article is exactly the same as the printed copy, you may elect to omit the URL from your reference. We recommend that you include the URL in your records, however, to be safe. In this way, too, you will be able to double click on the URL to go back to the article online.
