Once you've created your project, you'll be taken to the Dashboard where you can create a bibliography, make notecards, start an outline, write a research question and thesis statement, or start a paper in Google Docs.
1. To get started creating citations, click on your project. This will open the Sources tab in the sidebar to the left of the page. Then click on New Source in the upper right corner of your screen.
2. Follow the directions given to create a citation for your first source, and then repeat the process for each additional source you need to cite. Your list of citations will look like this:
3. Once you have inputted all of your citations, select the Print/Export drop-down menu to finalize your bibliography. You can export it to Word, RTF, Google Docs, or preview it as a web page, from which you can copy it into your document.
4. You can also Share or Email your citations by clicking the three dot icon at the top of the page.
5. Clicking on Analysis (the bar graph icon) will show you how many citations you have of each type, in each medium (i.e., print, online), and how current they are, so you can determine if you have the right balance of citations.
6. To find the corresponding in-text citation for one of your sources, click on the Options three dot menu to the right of the finished citation and click on In-text reference.
