Referencing Using Document it

How do I merge citations?

The "Merge References" area allows you to copy references from one 'Document it' file to another.

This means that if you want to use a reference in the current document which you have previously used in another document you don't have to go through the whole process of re-entering the citation information. You can choose to carry across a single reference or the whole bibliography. In addition you could, if you wished, copy all your bibliographies into one document as a resource.

  1. Click on the merge button in the main 'Document it' screen. The button is on the right hand side column of buttons.
  2. A new window will open with three buttons on the right hand side. Click the 'Upload' button.
  3. A file browser window window opens to allow you to select a document from which to import citations. Locate the file you want to mrege and click 'Ok'.
  4. You will return to the previous window, this time it will contain the citations from the imported document.
    1. To import a single citation into your document click 'Add'.
    2. To import all of these citations into your document click 'Add All'.
  5. Click close to return to the main 'Document it' screen.
