4 Overview..... Here is an overview of how the Researcher works: 1 Open a datafile with CiteWrite. When you are just beginning to work with the Researcher feature, we suggest you open a blank datafile. 2 On the CiteWrite Main Menu, click Research, and select one of the services listed Include active links in your records. The Online Researcher adds a field for LINKS to webpages to all your CiteWrite records, as well as the ability to open a web page by double clicking on the link. The Reference field is included for all types of sources works. You can include URLs to web pages, or files (such as word processing documents, pdf files -- even graphics) on your computer. Double click on the URL to launch your browser and open the web page or file. CiteWrite will start your Browser, and go to the selected website. 3 Do a search on the service you've chosen. 4 Set the options for viewing the results (for most sites, you can view either one record at a time, or multiple records). 5 Highlight and copy a record (or a group of records) in the Search Results. (Press Ctrl+C, or Edit, Copy on your browser). In most cases, you can highlight more than one record at a time, if you like; see the examples in this booklet for more details. 6 Click Research, Import Record on the CiteWrite menu. 7 Read through the imported records and edit any "anomalies" in the data. This is a very important step, as it is not always possible to make absolutely certain the information in the records imports in the correct format for Citation. Note that Records imported into CiteWrite will include the keyword "readlist."..... Write a reading list. You can write a reading list for the sources you have collected in your datafile by opening a blank document, and then clicking Format References, Write Bibliography, and choosing Reading List as the Style. The new Reading List style for bibliographies makes it simple to print out a Reading List of the sources you have located and identified as potential source works for your research. 4 5
