Adding a Citation

To add a citation to an idea:

• Select the idea on the map

• Click on the Cite button to open the Citations entry box (or on the Citations radio button at the bottom of the Details text):

• Optionally, enter an Excerpt of the text cited and additional publication details.

• Click the Enter button.

• Note: once you have added a Citation to an idea, you can Cite the source again quickly elsewhere on the map by clicking on the (or reuse an existing one) link – shown at the top of the Citation entry form – and then selecting the desired Citation from the drop down list of Citations that opens.

• When you add Citations to an idea, the Citations are numbered automatically in the sequence in which they are added (see the image above).
