How can I organize and manage my citations in a Citation Tracker report?

Modified on Mon, 17 Apr 2023 at 12:58 AM

To make it as easy as possible to keep track of where action needs to be taken, you can add citation statuses and notes to the citations in your report.

For each citation being tracked in the report, you can set a Citation Status (either a 'smiley' or 'sad face') by editing the report's citation details.

How to set citation status in Citation Tracker:

Click on the 'Citation Information' button (the three-dot icon shown below within the red box) next to the citation in the report.

The citation information popup will then appear. You can change the 'Citation Status' (indicted below by the red box), which adds this citation to other tabs within the report. Under this is 'Citation Details' where you can edit the URL, if needed.

Under this, you'll see the 'Citation Health' section, where you can choose the citation status by clicking on one of the three available faces (shown below in the red box).
