2
00:00:01,426 --> 00:00:04,515
This is a video tutorial
on how to use ref tool bar,

3
00:00:04,547 --> 00:00:05,830
or RefTools.

4
00:00:06,238 --> 00:00:09,646
RefTools adds an extra button
to your editing toolbar

5
00:00:09,695 --> 00:00:13,794
that will allow you to quickly
and easily insert a citation.

6
00:00:14,385 --> 00:00:17,150
It autoformats citations for you

7
00:00:17,184 --> 00:00:20,508
and it makes them pretty clean
and standart to add to the articles.

8
00:00:20,529 --> 00:00:23,208
So it's a very valuable tool to have.

9
00:00:23,558 --> 00:00:26,230
Ok, so I'm on my /sandbox right now.

10
00:00:26,242 --> 00:00:31,283
All I've done is click on "Edit",
and you see my editing toolbar here.

11
00:00:31,348 --> 00:00:33,495
There is an option to click "Cite".

12
00:00:33,528 --> 00:00:37,883
If you click on that,
it drops down this bar right here,

13
00:00:37,902 --> 00:00:41,314
and it includes a Templates drop-down box,

14
00:00:41,348 --> 00:00:44,312
Named refs, and Error check.

15
00:00:44,346 --> 00:00:48,924
If you click on templates, you'll see four
different options of templates to use.

16
00:00:50,148 --> 00:00:55,662
"Cite web" is what you would use
if you're citing just a general website.

17
00:00:55,745 --> 00:01:00,760
"Cite news" is for a newspaper
or any type of news article,

18
00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:02,960
either online or in print.

19
00:01:03,026 --> 00:01:05,325
"Cite book" is obviously for books.

20
00:01:05,375 --> 00:01:10,234
And "Cite journal" is used
for references to articles

21
00:01:10,246 --> 00:01:14,547
in magazines, academic journals
as well as academic papers.

22
00:01:14,713 --> 00:01:18,765
I'm just gonna through each one quickly
to show you different options.

23
00:01:18,788 --> 00:01:20,541
If you click on "Cite web",

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,097
you'll see this box that comes up
with different text fields.

25
00:01:24,147 --> 00:01:26,296
Most of them are self-explanatory

26
00:01:26,329 --> 00:01:29,328
so I'm not going to explain
the ones that are really obvious.

27
00:01:29,361 --> 00:01:33,743
I mean might clearly the name right here:
the last and first name of the author.

28
00:01:33,793 --> 00:01:36,705
But some of them need a little bit
of explanation.

29
00:01:36,772 --> 00:01:40,254
For example, "Work". Work refers to…

30
00:01:40,305 --> 00:01:43,603
if an item is part of the larger work,

31
00:01:43,653 --> 00:01:47,501
such as part of the book,
or periodical, or website,

32
00:01:47,557 --> 00:01:49,968
you would write
the name of that in "Work".

33
00:01:50,049 --> 00:01:54,982
"Publisher" is obviously whoever
has published the webpage,

34
00:01:55,032 --> 00:01:57,532
but it's genuinely not
the name of the website

35
00:01:57,573 --> 00:01:59,515
that is genuinely the "Work".

36
00:01:59,547 --> 00:02:02,963
And an "Access date"
that's the date that it has been accessed.

37
00:02:02,996 --> 00:02:07,012
It is easiest to add it by clicking
on the calendar right here,

38
00:02:07,062 --> 00:02:09,289
and it'll add the current day.

39
00:02:09,358 --> 00:02:13,130
And at down here, you have the option
to include "ref" name.

40
00:02:13,164 --> 00:02:16,059
I'm going to more details on that later.

41
00:02:16,333 --> 00:02:18,264
Next, I'm gonna "CIte news."

42
00:02:18,516 --> 00:02:24,113
These are all basically self-explanatory.
So I'm not gonna detail on them.

43
00:02:24,910 --> 00:02:29,691
"Cite book" has also pretty
generally obvious ones:

44
00:02:30,315 --> 00:02:32,524
"Year" is the publication year,

45
00:02:32,574 --> 00:02:35,421
"Publisher" is clearly the publisher,

46
00:02:35,456 --> 00:02:39,288
"Location" is the geographical location
in which the book was published,

47
00:02:39,604 --> 00:02:44,452
and ISBN stands for international
standart book number.

48
00:02:44,502 --> 00:02:50,038
There is more information on that,
if you search for Wikipedia calling "ISBN"

49
00:02:50,053 --> 00:02:53,153
but it is basically
a unique identifier for a book.

50
00:02:53,754 --> 00:02:58,919
And then "Pages" is referring to not
the total number of pages of the book,

51
00:02:58,983 --> 00:03:03,667
but just the pages that you're
referring to with your citation.

52
00:03:03,834 --> 00:03:06,876
And an "URL" is only used

53
00:03:06,927 --> 00:03:10,228
if there is an online location
in which text can be found.

54
00:03:10,261 --> 00:03:14,373
Please do not use this to link
to a commercial book seller.

55
00:03:15,672 --> 00:03:19,292
And then finally we're going
to look at "Cite journal,"

56
00:03:19,326 --> 00:03:21,328
and these are quite a few options,

57
00:03:21,336 --> 00:03:27,054
but really the only ones are difficult
to understand are DOI and PMID.

58
00:03:27,228 --> 00:03:30,023
These two are again unique identifiers.

59
00:03:30,056 --> 00:03:36,159
This is the Digital Object Identifier
and this is the Pub Med unit IDentifier.

60
00:03:36,434 --> 00:03:39,539
And each of those is like ISBN.

61
00:03:39,752 --> 00:03:44,264
The URL should point preferably
of free online version of the text,

62
00:03:44,285 --> 00:03:46,467
but if that's not available you can use it

63
00:03:46,517 --> 00:03:50,262
to point to an online version of the text
that requires the subscription.

64
00:03:50,295 --> 00:03:55,469
If you don't include a DOI or PMID,
you can also use a URL

65
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,792
to link to an abstract
or description of the article.

66
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,635
So here I've created just
a basic idea of the article on Mastiffs.

67
00:04:04,699 --> 00:04:06,515
It's just three sentences on.

68
00:04:06,582 --> 00:04:08,931
And it's all taken from
one book right here

69
00:04:09,014 --> 00:04:12,161
called "Mastiggs"
by Kim Campbell Thornton.

70
00:04:12,261 --> 00:04:15,010
So I'm just gonna show you
how to cite a book.

71
00:04:15,090 --> 00:04:16,876
So I go to "Edit."

72
00:04:18,809 --> 00:04:20,941
And the important thing to do

73
00:04:21,007 --> 00:04:24,383
is to place the cursor
where you want to insert the citation.

74
00:04:24,433 --> 00:04:27,959
Since I wanna cite they were
first exhibited in 1860,

75
00:04:28,009 --> 00:04:29,608
I place it at the end of that.

76
00:04:30,056 --> 00:04:31,803
And I'll hit "Cite Book",

77
00:04:32,203 --> 00:04:37,552
and then I can just type in
the authors' name,

78
00:04:38,292 --> 00:04:39,748
the title of the book,

79
00:04:40,398 --> 00:04:42,015
the year it was published

80
00:04:42,025 --> 00:04:46,220
which I can find in this nice section
that Google Books gives you.

81
00:04:47,052 --> 00:04:51,495
So the year was 2009 and the publisher
was Barron's Educational Series.

82
00:04:53,282 --> 00:04:55,911
And then I can find ISBN.

83
00:04:57,006 --> 00:04:59,127
I use a thirteen-digit one.

84
00:05:01,512 --> 00:05:03,665
And just paste it right in there.

85
00:05:03,698 --> 00:05:06,947
And that I know that
I use pages 9 through 10.

86
00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:11,478
Then I just can get the URL
of the about page pasting it here.

87
00:05:11,511 --> 00:05:14,497
Now I need to choose
a name for the reference,

88
00:05:14,546 --> 00:05:17,806
so I'm just gonna use "Thornton"
because I see the author's name.

89
00:05:18,392 --> 00:05:20,675
You can see it is inserted here,

90
00:05:20,695 --> 00:05:24,479
it's between these two HTML tags,
the ref tags here.

91
00:05:24,505 --> 00:05:27,623
And there is a citation template included.

92
00:05:27,657 --> 00:05:30,673
So now I just need
to add the References section,

93
00:05:30,723 --> 00:05:33,988
and it's important that you do this
when you'll end up with an URL.

94
00:05:34,038 --> 00:05:39,566
I created the References section heading
and enter the {{reflist}} template here.

95
00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:41,612
Then I use "Edit summary"

96
00:05:42,774 --> 00:05:44,122
and hit "Save page."

97
00:05:44,322 --> 00:05:47,121
So here you can see
that it cited that source,

98
00:05:47,147 --> 00:05:50,556
it's created a footnote for me
and it's put in the References section.

99
00:05:50,606 --> 00:05:53,136
Say I wanna cite
this second sentence here,

100
00:05:53,169 --> 00:05:54,553
I would go to "Edit."

101
00:05:55,210 --> 00:05:59,090
Because this information
is already included in this citation,

102
00:05:59,117 --> 00:06:01,572
it's on pages 9 and 10 of this book,

103
00:06:01,622 --> 00:06:03,962
I can just use a Named citation here.

104
00:06:04,008 --> 00:06:05,844
So I go up to the Named refs.

105
00:06:06,134 --> 00:06:08,487
And under the dropdown box,
it would say "Thorton"

106
00:06:08,498 --> 00:06:10,381
because that's what I choose as a name.

107
00:06:10,402 --> 00:06:12,097
So I hit back, hit insert.

108
00:06:12,283 --> 00:06:16,814
And it insert this nicest
small piece of HTML code

109
00:06:16,847 --> 00:06:20,167
that will create the citation

110
00:06:20,217 --> 00:06:21,600
here as well.

111
00:06:22,138 --> 00:06:23,382
So If I save,

112
00:06:29,271 --> 00:06:33,475
and you'll see that it now shows up,
both of them are cited.

113
00:06:33,503 --> 00:06:37,051
The number is the same,
because it's the same reference.

114
00:06:37,085 --> 00:06:39,866
And they are both linked
to this bottom Reference section.
