Speaker 1: When it comes to writing your thesis, it's a coursework report or any academic and technical report. You have to reference any software or tool you used or like to discuss correctly. This can be done these days with the help of a referencing tool like Mendeley. In this video, I will show you an example of how to reference a computer software using Mendeley. There is another previous video that I recorded to reference a research paper. I will put the link in the description. Please like and subscribe to help this channel grow. Let's start. The tool I'm going to reference today is InCase Forensic. It's InCase Forensic and the referencing software I'm going to use is Mendeley. And here is the paragraph that I'm going to add InCase citation to it. I have copied it. I have wrote these sections and I would like to add my citation in this section. InCase Forensic software enable you to collect forensically sound data and conduct complex large-scale investigation. Because I mentioned here the first time I mentioned InCase Forensic software wouldn't detect it. I would like to add my citation here. Okay. And then the reference will be added here. Let's start. Let's make this bigger. This is Mendeley. You need to go to Mendeley.com, create your account. You can see my previous video that showed that. Create your account and let's add our reference. The first one. What you need to do, you need to add. Click on add. Add entry manually. And then now you need to select the correct options. Okay. Okay. Previously, because we referencing research paper, we just copied DOI from the journal paper and paste it here. But we don't do that today. You need to change the reference type from journal article to a computer program. To a computer program. This is a very important bit. The second thing you need to do is you go to the program that you need to reference. In this case, I'm using InCase Forensic Training. And type the correct title of the program. I will type InCase Forensic Training. Exactly the same. Okay. Exactly the same. Then the other section, because it's a company by OpenTextSet on InCase Forensic Training, there will be no other names. But however, we are going to write here the organization who owns the software. How to get this information? You can go to the about or help section or about. And you will get the company name is OpenTextSet Corporation. Then just copy this one. OpenTextSet. And paste it here as author. Okay. There. Let's go back. There is no year, product expiration date. Yeah, it's built. This is the build number. It's 2020. Okay. 2020. Then type the year is 2020. Sorry, 2022. Not 2020. Let's make sure it's 2022. Yeah. Yeah, it's 2022. Let's get back to Mendeley. And you don't need to type city or publisher or yeah, the version is very important. Especially with any software, there is versions, names, different sometime. It's different software. Maybe upgrade and so on. And this version name is 22.3. You can just type 22.3 or type it all. Okay. Or type it all. Let me copy it and paste it. And that's it. Okay. You just need to they haven't asked for a website, isn't it? Okay. Now let's add it. And here is it. I get it in my library. The author is OpenTextSet. Year 2022. The title. But however, it missing the URL. Let's go back to the help section or the part of the software. Here is there is the web page. Okay. OpenTextSet.com. Let's copy it. And we go back to Mendeley. Double click. And now we can add the URL. It's very important. Okay. It's very important to add the URL with any software. Okay. The URL. And click. That's it. Data access. Access it. Yeah. Keep it like this. And try to yeah. I think that's what we need. And if you need to update any information to add file or any other information, just type it here. Okay. Just type it here. Let me now let's go back to the Word document and try to reference this tool. But let me just make sure yeah. Everything is fine. Let's get to the Word document. And now we need to add our reference exactly here. Okay. Exactly here. You go to sorry. Reference. Click on reference. And you should already have that on feature in your Microsoft Word. And click here. And now it will ask me for my username and password. Type your username and password. And here is it. You got an access. And here is it. Because I just added it. It comes here. Or you can search about in case. Let's say in case. And here is it. You get it link it straight away to your library. And click insert citation. Okay. Insert citation. Once make sure there is here just five. Okay. Once I click insert citation, it will add number six here. And the sixth citation, the sixth reference will be here. Let's insert it. Here is it. Number six. In case software. And if you don't know in case software, the reader doesn't know in case software, they will go to reference number six. What we can see in reference number six, we see the open text corporation. This is the author name or the organization name. Then the name of the forensic tool. The year of the forensic tool. And the access date to the online website. And this is what we expect to see with your reference. Okay. Make sure your reference works like this. And make sure before you submit your report, your thesis, make sure you follow your university referencing format or the model leader referencing format that is required. In this case, the reference format I use is IEEE. But let's try to change it to another referencing format. If you need to change it to another reference format, you just go to citation settings. And what you can see here, it's IEEE. It's IEEE. We can change it to another referencing format. Change citation. And let's use ABA7. Okay. American Psychological Association. Okay. Let's click on that. And update citation. And here's it. The citation is updated based on the ABA7 edition. Okay. And in case forensic software, the author name or the organization name 2022. And it's updated as well here. Okay. Where is it? In case, in case. Open text it. Yeah. And this time, we got the version, the version of the in case as well. In that time, previously with IEEE, we haven't got the version. But with ABA, you get the version as well. But however, you don't get the URL. And hopefully, you like this video.
