 Hello all. In this video, I'm going to demonstrate how to use mainly reference manager software. The reference manager not only helps us in altering or changing the positions of the references and renumbering it correctly, but also it helps us in creating the stale example. Van Koover or Harvard, whatever the journal or university asks. So out of the reference manager software, the most commonly used to softwares are mainly nzotero and both are freely available and easy to use. In this video, I'm going to show how to use mainly reference manager. The first step in using mainly reference manager is we need to have two downloads done. Our first download is the mainly desktop and this mainly desktop will be specific for the OS, which may be Windows, Mac OS or Linux. So depending upon the operating system which you are using, you can download the mainly desktop and you can install it. After the successful installation of mainly desktop, you can see a mainly icon in your desktop. This is an indication for successful installation of mainly desktop. The second important download is the mainly web importer download, which will be specific for the browser which you use. This mainly desktop is for the OS which you use and web importer is for the browser which you use. Here in this case, it is Chrome. So web importer for Chrome is available. This is an extension. So after the successful installation of this extension, the main icon will appear here. Web importer is available for Safari, Internet Explorer and Mozilla. After the two downloads of mainly desktop and web importer, the third step is to sign in into the mainly desktop. So after successful signing in, creating an account, you will get an ID here. After creating that ID, you can create a separate folder demonstration. Okay, so the demonstration folder will appear here. Then the fourth important step is to go to the tools. Then we need to install MS Word plugin. Since I have already installed mainly plugin into MS Word, it is showing uninstall MS Word plugin. Otherwise, it will show install MS Word plugin. So after successful installation of MS Word plugin, the mainly icon will appear in the Word. So here these are all the insert citation key, refresh key, insert bibliography key and open mainly key. Here we can keep the style. I have kept Vancore style as the style here, which is commonly used. We can change the reference style here. We can get more styles also. So we have crossed four steps. The first two steps are downloading mainly desktop and web importer. The third step is to sign in into mainly. The fourth step is to install MS Word plugin. So after ensuring this process, the fifth step is to open mainly and arrange the references. There are four ways where you can collect your reference. First is you can add manually. This is going to be the most time consuming process. We need to select the type of the reference, whether it is a journal article or a book or a web page, etc. So here I am typing the journal article. I am just typing diabetes. I am entering my name here journal. I am just typing in short forms the year volume three issue two page number five to eight. If I feed all the data here and click on save, after saving the manual entry, the reference will appear like this. So this is the first method where you can add reference that is adding the reference manually. The second method is to add the reference using the mainly web importer. So here the web importer extension is here. So by opening the web page, clicking on the mainly desktop, the web importer will get the data from the site and it will ask for whether you need to add any PDF or not. So suppose if you want to read this journal later, then you can download this PDF and add into the mainly reference manager. Otherwise you need not add this. So for just for the referencing purpose, you can tick on the reference and add to the my library. Once it is added, after this what you need to do is you need to go back and synchronize here this because I have not added in the demonstration folder there. It will not appear here, but it will appear in all documents. So what I should do is I should check whether this article information given here is correct or not. So if I have any suspicion, then I should go for search. So using the online database, it will alter the data. It may be correct or wrong. So you need to check whether this data is correct or not. So this web importer process needs internet and there is a chance that incorrect information will be feed and it is complicated also. The third method and the fourth method is going to be the easiest method and the accurate method. If you have the PDF of the article here, then you can just drag this PDF into the folder. Then automatically the importing file will happen. It will get the information and the reference will be loaded like this. The fourth way where you can download the article is through the website. You can download this reference file. So here if you download directly, the file will appear. This file is called as RISRIS file. So you can drag this file and keep it here. So automatically the data will be imported. So this fourth method is going to be the easiest method and the most accurate method also. So it is available in all the standard sites and also in Google scholar. If suppose your article is here, you can click on this site button. So here I am downloading the refman. Again it is going to be in the RIS file. So I am downloading it, dragging it and making it here. I want to add this article. So refman will give you the RIS file. So I am downloading, dragging and keeping it here. So it has given five references. So how it is going to be helpful in my write-up is, I am going to write here. I am going to insert citation because I need a citation here. I am going to cite the first reference, cite. Then I am writing some other content. I am going to insert citation, go to mainly, then the second reference. I am citing. All these references has been added in a different manner. That is four methods. First one is added manually. Second one was through the web importer. Third one was through the PDF. Then the fourth and fifth was using the RIS files. I am citing the second format here. The third format which is a PDF here. And the fourth format which is a RIS file downloaded from my website. Then the fourth, the fifth format which is manually entered. So after some time I am writing here references or the bibliography. So what I should do is, I should click on this insert bibliography by keeping the cursor here. Then automatically all your references will appear in Vancouver format. Same article has appeared twice in three and four. So for that what we should do is, we should go to the tools and here click check for duplicates. So it is asking that there are three references through two PDF imports and one RIS. It is looking similar. So it will ask for confirm merge like that. So the two documents have been merged into one. So automatically this will appear. After doing this checking for duplicates, what we should do is, we should reference again. So it will ask like this whether you are going to confirm this merge. Yes, I am confirming. So automatically the references will be changed and it will be altered without any exhausting effort. The referencing work has been done. So later if I want to add or change any of this, I want to move this reference above to the top. Then I am altering like this means. Then what I should do is, I should just click refresh automatically, the references will get altered. I am going to summarize the steps. We have downloaded the mainly desktop, mainly web importer. After downloading the mainly desktop, we have gone to tools. We have installed MS Word plugin. After MS Word plugin, this call this group of icons will appear here. I have showed what are the four ways to add references in the mainly desktop that is manually entering the data and the web importer data, PDF data, downloading the RIS files. So after doing that, we can easily insert our citation, alter our merge our citation. What other things which we can do with mainly desktop is that we can create groups and people can collaborate. The other advantage with the mainly is since it is an online tool, we can sign in into a different device and you can use the same reference also. So these are all advantages of mainly. So the usage of reference manager will help you immensely in your management of all references. Hope this presentation was useful to you. Please subscribe to my channel. Thank you very much.
