But these referencing function is already available in Microsoft Word. And if you want to learn, alright, so you should take, I'll try this lesson. Alright, so with that, thank you, and I hope all of you enjoy 2. Main Lesson: Greetings students, and welcome back. Now, as what I promised, we look into how to do the references using Microsoft Word. Alright, so we don't have to use Mendeley. Mendeley is actually additional, which is a separate software which also do the same thing as one Microsoft Word referencing can do. I will recommend Mandalay if you are references are huge, right? And then you plan to do more research in the future. So Mendeley, really good to keep all your information, all the previous journals, books, references and everything. So Mendeley will be a good choice if you, once you use it more. But for some basics, Microsoft Word is good enough. So in this lesson we will look into how Microsoft Word references work. Alright, so I have some example of, of a tax over here, already graded text. So I want to insert citation for this tax case. We'll have two texts over here. Okay? So, uh, how to insert the citations and references. So if you look at the tabs on the top, beside the layout, there's a tab called references. So all you have to do is you click on the references. Here. There are a lot of information. We don't have to look all of it. So we just want to focus on citation and bibliography. Alright, so we're going to focus on this area only. So if you look at it, we have insert citation k. So if you move your mouse on top of insert citation, you can see clearly what is the detail for the in-text citation. So explain to you what it is about, right? And then on the top but many sauce. Okay. Basically, this is the place where you add up your sources, like your journals, books and everything. And this one is a style. What style you are referencing, or I, triple E and so on. And this one is for you to choose to add the references at the back of your, alright, so bibliography on off it. There are so many names. By the thing is work cited, references, bibliography, they all the same, right? So we can choose what we want later. Okay? So let me show why 11 by one. So first of all, we need to manage the sources before we do the citation, everything we need, we must manage the sources first means you need to add on, sorry, add in. What are the sources that you have k. So let's click on it. Once you click on the Manage sauce, you will take you to the resource manager, right? So we hear everything is empty because we don't have any sauces. I never use it before, so it is empty. So therefore I want to add the sauces, means the journals, books and so on. I click New. I click on New. So when I click on New, this window will pop art to create the source. So if we look at type of source, there are a lot. Book, book section, journal article, article in rural go, conference proceedings, reports, websites, documents from websites, electronic sauce, heart, sound recording, and so on during interview, there are a lot more. So let's say I'm taking a book. Next. The book, of course the book will have outer right? So you need to write the full name of the task. So for example, my name. Okay? Alright, then the title of the book. So I put the title of the book and then the year, okay, let's say I publish this in year two, new grantees or CT is sorry, maybe I use B9. Publisher is the LH. Alright, then just save it. Okay. So we already have the citation. If you look at it, the citation will be this. Then the bibliography will be something like this. Okay? So close. You can add more. If you want to edit this, you just select this and indeed, you can go back, always come back here and Eddie, alright. I want to add, you can add new. So for example, I want to add some journal article, okay? Give me B My name again. Someone asked me, Right? So thinking what name to use. Any funny name it funny. Title is vengeance. So genuine. General name is Marla. Here it is published. I'm not sure. So I just want to put 1998 pages zone 10820. Then click Okay. So you look at it. This is the citation for the Ironman that I've created. So this is how we add sauces into the references. You can add more, then you can close. All right, so now I already managed the source. Now if you want to look at the style. So later we can change it as well in the beginning itself around to have our referencing. Okay, So next is, I want to insert citation here. So I click on Insert Citation. Mean, Sorry, I clicked the small arrow button pointing downwards. And then it will show me all the list of references that I have, sources that are created. So maybe I want to use this. Then just see automatically comes up here. But if let's say you don't want to put it here so you can delete. Make sure you click the point where you want to insert the citation. For example, I want to have the citation over here. So I just click and insert. Alright, so that's the citation over there. So you can choose, you can indeed the citation, right? So you add pages or maybe you want to suppress the outer name. And I only want to suppress the year and so on. So you can make the, You Can, we hear as well, or you can convert the citation to static text. You click on it. You will become normal. Tax is not anymore link the citation, which I don't recommend you to do that because if you change, it will lose the context. So I better not to do that. Okay? So this is one of the method for the citation. Let's say I want to have one more over here. Iron when it is cited based on the sources that you have and then based on the style that you have, let's say I have or maybe our end of the day, I feel that Let's not use Howard. That's changed to I triple E. So I just click I triple E. You look at it automatically. Change itself. You don't have to do anything. You don't have to go manually, change it one by one. Alright? So we just have to change it over here. It will automatically change for you. As simple as that. That's why using the references in Microsoft Word is easy. Even mandalay also quite easy. Okay? Alright, and then now let's say you are done. You want to insert the site. You want to insert the references at the back of the report. So all you have to do is you have to go to the last page. That's why I came to the right spacial. Don't type references or work, just leave it as it is it. Or maybe the formatting of the title you can do later. Alright, so you want to come to the new page. You go to the bibliography. So click on this small button arrow that is showing downwards, right? And then choose references. Alright, so once you click on the references, it will generate the reference references for you. Alright? So if you think that this formula is not right, you can manually edit it as well. And this, I'm pretty sure this is not a farmer. There's Sunderland has. So we can we arrange it according to the format? Okay? Alright, and then you can enter space and make some adjustment. This one all you can change the types of recordings as well. But if you look at it, is still link to the texts. Alright, and then if let's say I go to the references, if you look at it, this is Howard references. Sorry, is our referencing. And then let's say I change, I change my mind. I want to use I Tripoli automatically it will change 1.2. Alright, so that's the good thing about using the references. So you just have to manage the sources. That's the only tedious part Once you click on the trading sources, you need to insert all the information. So this is a little bit tedious for you, especially when you have lots of references like 100, 200, right? So that'll be very tedious, but you will be very thankful when you are inserting the citations and references because sometimes when you add something new, you are managing it over here. For example, I had one more. Okay, Let's say leave it as a journal article example that I can. Okay. So general name again, my wall. Here it is produced 2019 by example, age number one to row two times 231. Volume one issue, for example. Alright. Okay, and then you close. Alright? So, but if you notice something when you have high Triple E, There are a lot of information they are asking, especially the volume issue and so on. So high-throughput requires more information compared to the so-called Harvard referencing. All right, so once you already done or updating your managed sources and then maybe okay, let's say over here, I want to add your citation, which is Steve Rogers. Are we here? Okay, so you may be wondering a one here, one here, one here, two again. Why? Alright, so you just click, click, click on it, and then update arrived. So once you update one of it, this one automatically updated becomes three. Then if you go move down to the references, is already outdated. Because the thing is that you will move the wordings accordingly. Alright. I haven't moved to the third one. It updates for you automatically. But if let's say you are doing manually, tell you if, let's say you change some values over here. If you forgot to change it under the references, you'll be very bad. Definitely will be terrible. Alright, so this is a good thing of using references in Microsoft Word. Mendeley will be approximately the same. Okay, so that's about the references or the function in Microsoft Word. So I hope this is helpful for you, all of you. So with that, I hand this lesson. Thank you.
