1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,403 [CC by Pacha Tchernof] 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.
