Hi,
I can’t figure out how to use numbers as references in the text - and make these numbers align with the bibliography in the end.
For example - what I want to do:
Steward and Jameson have found that yellow is the most positive colour (1) and have discovered…
(and then in bibliography: (1) - Steward, Jameson, Quantitative analysis of coulours,…
Is this possible?
Hello Andi,
It’s in the help section https://paperpile.com/help#guide-gdocs
under " Formatting a bibliography". is this what you mean?
you need to have the plug-in enabled and given permission,
“After adding or editing a citation, Paperpile can reformat your document and generate the bibliography with one click. Simply choose Paperpile > Format citations to proceed. ( Note: you will need to give permission to the plug-in the first time you format a document. This will only happen once.)”
Thanks but I can’t find the option formatting a bibliography? I tried both after updating citations as after unformatting citations.
See printscreen here:
In this prints screen pressing “update citations & Bibliography “ should do the job. It will replace the citation with [1] and add a references section at the end of the document.
Thanks, but when I am doing this I get no reference ‘number’ but a line of text. I would like to shorten it to a number, linking to the bibliography… See the printscreen about how it looks after I click on ‘update citations and bibliography’.
Note: working in Google Docs
Hi @Andi, if I’m understanding you correctly, I believe this behavior is defined by a) the citation style, and b) the content of your entry.
citation style
contents
So, if you want a footnote, you have to use a different citation style
for example, I created a document and attached a citation style IEE. Then I created some text and one reference. It looks like this:
Hi @Bruce_Borkosky it looks you are totally right. Changing the citation style to IEEE does the job. Thanks a lot!
It looks totally right but it doesn’t work always stuck with Chicago style. I changed ieee style in settings but also i refresh citation style in my document but it didnt work.
Welcome to the Paperpile community, @Umut_Erkok. Are you writing your document in Word? You will need to change the citation style from Chicago (default) to IEEE by going to the Paperpile menu > Settings and Tools > Citation style… and searching for the IEEE style:
