 Hello friends, in this video we are going to see about how to use Menli reference manager. Even though I have made lots of videos in Menli, I haven't made a single video exclusively for Menli reference manager. In previous video of demonstration of Menli reference manager, I have compared it with Menli desktop and this video is going to be exclusively demonstrating the Menli reference manager that is the newer one. Before going to the Menli reference manager, I want you to understand about the components of referencing and how difficulties referencing if we are not using this reference manager software. In references, we have two components. Number one, the bibliographic components, the bibliographic elements such as your authors, title, then the journal name, year of publication, volume, issue, page number, these are all bibliographic elements. And the punctuation marks that is between author's first name and second name, after the author, what is the punctuation mark, and at the end of the title, what is the punctuation mark, volume, issue, page number, each and every punctuation mark is very important while we are doing referencing. And the biggest headache while making this reference is, there are different styles of references which are broadly classified into author date and an alphanumeric referencing systems. How it is a classical example for author date style, whereas Van Gogh is example for an alphanumeric style. So when we are changing this different style of referencing, it's a big headache when we manually change all these references, bibliographic elements, punctuation marks, and the inline citation that is either numbers or the author dates. If you want to add or remove or change any of the reference present in between, then the entire order need to be rechecked again. And this is going to be a big headache if you are not using any reference manager software. And here in this demonstration, I'm going to show how mainly reference manager works. So I am going to show how to use mainly reference manager in this presentation. I would recommend Menli and Zotiro for referencing purposes in research. And many in my channel, many of the videos are on Menli and Zotiro, you can check it out. So what are all the steps in using Menli reference manager? First, you need to do the essential downloads. There are three downloads. Number one is the reference manager software. And number two is the web importer, which is specific to your browser. And the Menli site, which is specific to your document writing software. In this case, I'm going to use Microsoft Word. Then the next is the signing in, you need to create an Elciver account and you need to sign in. Then you need to import the references. There are various ways to import references into Menli. In this presentation, I'm going to show the five commonly used ways that is extracting a PDF, importing via DOI, that is digital object identifier, then direct importation through web importer, then downloading the citation file, then manual entry of data. Then after doing this, we are going to see the working of the Menli, that is how to incorporate reference and how to insert the bibliography and how to change the reference styles. All these things I'm going to show now. So the first step is the essential downloads. Now I'm going to check whether all the essential downloads are done or not. This is the new Menli reference manager. This is how it looks. So after the successfully download and installation of Menli reference manager, this page will appear like this. Now I have created a new collection that is Menli demo and that folder remains empty now. So the first download, as I said, it's a Menli reference manager. If you want for windows, you can do or you want to use it for macOS that also you can download and install. You can download Menli web importer also after successful download and installation of Menli web importer. This icon that is the bright red Menli icon will appear here. So you can confirm with this. Then if you open Word after successful installation of this Menli site, this icon will appear here. When you click on this Menli site icon, so if you are already signed in with Menli reference manager account, then automatically this will load. So we are all set for importing reference manager. We have done three essential downloads that is Menli site for the document writing software that is Microsoft Word. In this case, Menli reference manager software itself and then the Menli web importer. So all these three are the essential downloads and we have created an account in LC where Menli and we have signed in successfully. So we are all set. So now first I'm going to show how to import data into Menli using PDF. So here I'm going to download this PDF. So I'm going to save this. Then I come back to Menli reference manager, click on add new files from computer, I click on the download PDF open, then it will it is getting uploaded. So this data will appear here. So we can click on this and you can check whether the details are correct. If the details are not correct, then you can change if anything is missing also you can add. So that is the first way you can use it through PDF. Then the next way is through the DOI numbers. That is when you are accessing any article, then they have this digital object identifier DOI number. So you can copy this number, come back to Menli, add new, add entry manually, then in identifiers, you can paste this DOI and you can search for the DOI, then the global epidemiology of hypertension, which is present here will automatically appear, then you can check the details, any missing details also you can add. If you add this, it will appear here. Then the next way is through the Menli web importer. I want to import this reference. I just click on this to last for sign in. After successful sign in, it will load. So it will ask for the confirmation of the article in this article if there are some more references also. So if you want to add it to your data, you can add that also. For the time being, I'm going to add this to the Menli demo, you can add directly to the Menli demo or to any of your old collections also. In Menli desktop, it was called as folder. Now in Menli reference manager, it is collections. So you can add this. The good thing about Menli reference manager is it will get automatically synchronized. So that has been already added here without synchronizing manually because in this new Menli reference manager, this synchronizing is automatic. We need not do synchronization as we do it in the old Menli desktop. Now the fifth way is through the downloading the citation file. So when you are accessing most of the articles, there will be one section called citation download or cite this article section. So in this, if you click on the download citation, then that citation file will get downloaded and ensure that for Menli desktop manager, it should be in dot risk format. So if that is there, then go to add new import library, then click on this risk. Now click this open and that details also will get extracted. Okay, now the fifth way I'm going to show how are we going to add the data manually, select this type of reference that is here. I am using the journal article and title. I'm just typing something. We can add authors also. So far we have added five references in five different ways. That is one through PDF next through DIY and then through Menli web importer. Then the next one using the risk format download, you can do the same with XML file and bib file also. And this is the manual entry. Now how to operate in Word file. So now I'm going to this Word file. I am typing some content. Here we need to click on this update from library so that the recently added references will appear. So all our recently added up references will appear related to hypertension has appeared. If you place the cursor here, click on this as a reference, then click on insert citation. We are incorporating the next reference. And here we are not doing any reference. And here we are incorporating two reference for this. I am clicking the two references and clicking on like this. Here I am clicking the placing the cursor here and clicking the last references which we have included. Now the magic is going to happen. I want to add the bibliography here or the list of references here. Then I go here, click on this three icon, insert bibliography. It will ask whether bibliography need to be inserted at the cursor location. You click on yes, automatically the bibliography will appear. Now if you want to change this reference, suppose you want to change this position, just copy this and paste here, then automatically the reference numbers also will get altered. And the position of the bibliography list also will get altered. That is one of the most important help we get from this reference manager. Next and the last is how to change the reference styles in new mainly desktop reference manager. So for this, we need to go to citation style settings, click on change citation style. So you want to change to any style available here, then you can click on this. There are some 8000 citation styles available. You can click on the search for another style. And from there, you can incorporate the available 8000 styles. If you want a personalized style also, you can use this CSL editor and the videos for this has been put up separately. You can see that and for demonstration purpose, I'm just clicking on this APS style. I am changing Vancouver existing Vancouver style to APS style. So I click on the update style, then automatically the styling has been changed to APS style from Vancouver style. So this is how we can change the reference settings also when your guide or your journal or the university as for changing the reference pattern or the reference style, then you can change the reference style and you can use this mainly reference manager effectively to recap what we have seen in this presentation is we have ensued the essential downloads for mainly reference manager that is we need to have mainly reference manager web importer mainly site web importer is specific for your browser mainly site is specific for your document writing software Microsoft Word in this case, then you need to create an account sign in into mainly then you can import references by various means out of which I have shown about PDF, DOI web importer citation file and manual entry, then working of the mainly also how to incorporate the references, how to change the references and how to change the reference states all has been shown in this presentation.
