Click on one of the listed citations on the left to start editing.
The light blue separator between this window and the column on the left is movable. Whether you need more room to view the citation list, or alternatively more space to edit a citation, it can be moved in either direction.
To expand the citation interface, click the Fullscreen button. To return to a normal interface from the expanded citation interface, click the Fullscreen Off button.
Citations can be added by clicking the New Citation icon in the top right corner of the citation listing column. Citations can be deleted by clicking the red Delete icon to the left of the citation.
To edit a citation in the left listing, click on it and it will open in this window. You will be presented with the original citation as written by the author, followed by the Assistant's automatic extraction attempt. You will be able to manually edit the original citation; edit parts or all of the new citation; re-check the citation against configured citation database services; query Google Scholar; and query the author for further citation information.
When you are finished editing a citation to your satisfaction, upon clicking the Save and Approve button you will be moved automatically to the next unapproved citation in the list. In this way you can very quickly work through a large list of citations. Once all citations have been approved, you will be moved to the Export Citations page.
]]>With this assistant you can mark up author-provided citations for export to NLM 2.3 or 3.0 XML galleys, or alternatively as text-based output. This tool first attempts to automatically extract and recognize citations as they have been provided, but you can step in and edit the results at any time.
Configuring the Assistant
The Citation Markup Assistant is configured by the journal manager in Journal Setup Step 3.7: Citation Markup Assistant. Different citation extraction and checking tools can be added, configured, and deleted. For more information, contact the journal manager.
Navigating the Assistant Interface
To switch between Introduction, Edit Citations and Export Citations tabs, click the tab titles. To expand the citation interface, click the Fullscreen button. To return to a normal interface from the expanded citation interface, click the Fullscreen Off button. To remove this introductory tab entirely, click the button below.
Requesting Citations
If the Citation Markup Assistant has been enabled by the journal manager, authors will be prompted for a list of references during article submission. These references will be requested separately from the submission document itself. After submission, authors can also modify their list of references at any time by editing the submission's metadata; note that this will overwrite any modifications that you have made to the citations using this tool.
Editing Citations
The Citation Markup Assistant will attempt to identify and extract individual citations from the author's list of references. You can systematically check each citation extraction attempt for accuracy against a number of external databases; edit incorrect citation information and add new information; approve or delete citations; and add new citations.
All final citations for a submission must be approved before they can be exported.
Exporting Citations
Citations can be exported as XML or text. XML export options currently include NLM Journal Publishing 2.3 and 3.0 ref-list XML. Selecting one of these options outputs an XML-encoded ref-list snippet that can be copied and pasted into an NLM XML galley.
Experimental text export options include ABNT, APA, MLA and Vancouver citation output styles. These options provide a text output that can be copied and pasted into a text-based article galley (for example into Microsoft Word or OpenOffice; Adobe InDesign; etc.). Each citation includes an embedded link to automatically search for that citation in Google Scholar.
Please go to the article's metadata page and enter a reference list or add references manually using the add item button of the editor.
