 Hello all, in this video, I'm going to discuss about the usefulness of CSL editor when you are using mainly referencing software. This is the document where I am using the new mainly site because mainly desktop is no more supported or recommended by mainly, so they are promoting this mainly site only. It is clearly a downgrade when compared to the mainly desktop, but when people are already the existing users of mainly site, you will be facing some of the difficulties. Here we have used vancover style of referencing. Vancover styling is a numbering pattern, so if you want to edit some of this reference, say for example, this is a vancover in brackets. You want to keep vancover in superscripts or vancover in others vancover style. What we usually do is we go to the citation style, we click on this change citation style, and we will search for the commonly appearing reference styles here. We will search for additional styles like this. We click on this vancover with the different options, so we look at the vancover options here. If you have decided vancover styling option is available, then we click here and change it to the new vancover style. But what happens is you want something, your journal or your guide or your university as for a different style of vancover, which is not available here, then you need to go to this CSL editor in Menli where you have to create your own style. So, there you need to use this CSL editor. So, say for example, you want to change this citation style or you want to change this single word or add some word in the same vancover styling, then you need to use this CSL editor in Menli. So, what we need to do is we need to sign in into the Menli, then we need to click on the help gates, then you can go to the CSL editor where the link will be given. This is the link csl.menli.com. It directly leads the visual editor. Suppose if I click on this visual editor, csl visual editor, then the visual editor will be open. So, what I would say is instead of creating a new citation, this here by default, it has taken American Psychologist Association, that is the APEA style of referencing. And if you want to modify, we can modify, but I am going to show here the vancover style modification. So, I have clicked on this search by name. The most popular styles will be available here. So, either you can install it directly or you can edit according to your own need. I am clicking on this vancover. I am going to click on this edit. So, since I have worked already on this vancover, it is asking for open your existing style or create new style. I am clicking on the create new style based on the vancover. So, I clicked on this. So, now how to use this is it is a visual editor. So, when you keep here, you want to change the number pattern. It will automatically show the layout. So, basically you want to change the numbering pattern. You can use this citation label also. This is the initials of the authors, the citation labels and then code numbers will also will be given. So, you can use like this, but the most common way is the citation number. So, when you keep this citation number, it will be like this. So, like this you can change any number of, if you click on this layout, automatically this will appear. So, basically this will show a comma in between as a separation prefix bracket and suffix also closing brackets. So, you want to change that text to bold. Then you can click, then automatically your referencing will be changed like this. So, just to demonstrate, I have changed this bold italic and underlining words. It will appear like this. I just note it down. Then suppose you want to remove this URL from the referencing. You can click on this URLs. Then if you look at the URL here, go to this if URL. There is a condition. So, you click on this condition. If the document type is an web page, then you add a command here. Then if the document click on from the document type to variable, then click on the URL. So, what will happen is here, the URL will be displayed only when the web page is presented. So, this is the command here. So, like this you can change, add, edit or any new group. So, using this macros. After this, what you need to do is go to style, save style, then automatically the link will be appearing here. You right click it, copy the link address, then go back to the word document. And here in citation settings, change citation style. Click on add a custom style. Then you paste your link. Click on the update citation style. Automatically, the citation styles has been converted into italics bold without changing any superscript or subscript. It has been changed. The numbers has been changed. At the same time, the URL also has been removed. Likewise, you can edit the citations and also the bibliography present here. And you can create your own reference style through this CSL editor. So, I would recommend you to go to the standard referencing styles and edit this reference style and make it to your own need. That way you can create your own referencing style in mainly using this CSL editor. Hope this video was useful to you. If you have any doubts, ask the questions in comment box.
