Speaker 1: Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. In this video, I'm going to show you how to reference your Word document using Manly. The solution is just a few clicks away. So let's get straight to it. Click Solutions. So first, you open your Word document and identify where you want to reference or where you want to place your reference. So for my case, I want to reference this very first statement on HPLC analysis. So you'll go and open your Manly. Open your Manly desktop. Then search. Search HPLC. So normally it gives you a list of any documents on HPLC. So it's you to actually identify and be sure that this is the exact document that you really wanted to reference. So prior to this, you should have already added the document, which I haven't actually shown you how to do that. But maybe I'll show you in my next video because this was just entirely showing you how to reference. So this is the document I want to use, the very first document. So you come here and you have two options. You can either copy the title. Yeah, either copy the title or copy the authors. So in most cases it's usually advisable to use the title because it tends to be unique. So you just come and click copy. Yeah, you just come and copy. Then you go back to your Word document. So as I had said, you identify where you want to place. So you just simply click space. Then come to reference. Then always make sure that your style is what you really want because you have to select. So International Journal of Food Science is what I want. Then you come and click insert. Then you just simply paste. Yeah, you simply paste your title. Then you'll click OK. So it takes seconds and here is your reference. So if you want to insert now if you now have your reference you now have it here, your index citation but now you want to have it. You want your reference to be in a list, as in a list of references. So you just come here and type references yeah then click enter. Then you come here and click insert bibliography. So normally it will auto type the whole reference here. And if you by any chance you now do other references, subsequent references they will just auto add. Let me just show you for instance, let me say I want to reference this on vitamin C. So you simply come here and click go to mainly then search something on vitamin C yeah. Then let me say vitamin C vitamin vitamin C let me just say for instance I want to reference that so you'll just come and copy the title as I had told you before. Doing the same thing over and over again. So you just come and click here then paste your title and yeah. It's gonna take seconds as I had said and as I had told you it will auto add. Even if you added like a thousand plus references it's just gonna auto add up to the very last reference.
