Some tips for adding documents
Manually create an entry
You can manually input the details of a reference by using the "New Reference" page under "Collect" tab. Select the appropriate reference type and complete the fields to create a library entry using the details you provide.
Always review your additions
Your ability to cite accurately is dependent on the accuracy of your library entries.
Whenever you add a new reference to your library, it is highly recommended that your review its details for accuracy by clicking the reference title.
If you need to amend the details of a selected paper, simply click the appropriate field when viewing the reference and correct the information.
