I need to manually upload some citations on the word file I am working on, since the search option doesn’t find the papers I am looking for. Does the Paperpile add-on provide this option and if not, is there a way around it?
I am using google docs, but the ‘create item manually’ option is not coming up as an option under the ‘cog’ menu. Is this a glitch, or is there another way to insert a new citation manually?
Have you signed up for the full-web? In that case, you should create new items in your library and then cite it from there. The “create manually” item will not show in this case in the add-on.
I would really like to have the “add cite manually” option. Is it possible to somehow revert? I have tried to uninstall the plugin, sign out from Paperpile but nothing seems to work.
OK, I see. Are you saying that would be a greater benefit to adding a paper manually rather than alt-tabbing to the paperpile app? Personally, I’m not sure I would ever use something like that, because the only time I add a paper is when I’m researching articles and PP is not able to identify the webpage as a paper. I have never added a paper in the middle of writing. I would even know what to put in the fields.
Yes, I don’t understand why that function is restricted. While writing an article, especially collaboratively, it’s of great use to put in placeholders without having to spend time on finding the exact source. Often you only have a website, know about a book or an article that you would like to include, to just put in something temporarily is of great use.
Oh, I see, yes. I would use that if it were available. What I do now is something like - (???) or (authorname, titlename). I know there is a source somewhere, but cannot put my finger on it at that moment, and I don’t want to interrupt my train of thought.
