 Hi, I'm Salvatore Bobonis, and today's short video is on how to insert hyperlinked references into Microsoft Word documents for use in policy writing. I do a lot of policy writing for online sources like AlgeZera and Foreign Affairs, and when writing for online venues like that, it's expected that your references should be hyperlinked to other online sources, not provided as footnotes or parenthetic references of some kind. Hyperlinking references is technically very easy. So for example, in this article titled Five-Year Fantasy about China's 13th Five-Year Plan, I have several links already embedded, one to the National People's Congress, one to Deng Xiaoping. I'd like to add a reference to the moderately prosperous society. China's goal now is to create a moderately prosperous society. I have found an article about the moderately prosperous society called The Four Comprehensives. It's from China Daily. The article is about how China defines the moderately prosperous society in terms of four comprehensive indicators. I merely copy the link by highlighting it and typing Ctrl C on my keyboard, or you could right-click and hit Copy. I then go to the Word document, and I highlight the text I want to link. The goal now is to create a moderately prosperous society, and I right-click on the text I've highlighted to create, click Hyperlink, and paste Ctrl V or right-click and paste the link in, and voila, there is the link. Similarly, I might want to add a link to the Much-Ballyhood Chinese Dream to explain that. Again, I have here an article about the Chinese Dream from ChinaDaily.com. I highlight it, right-click and copy, highlight, right-click, Hyperlink, and either right-click and paste or Ctrl V and paste, and there you go. A good style when adding hyperlinks to online documents is to only add a link to two, three, or at most four words as a phrase. Don't link an entire sentence. Also, links should not go on the first word of a sentence. It's bad form to start a sentence with a reference. Usually, the hyperlink references are given either to an action word like to create or to a noun, a descriptive noun like Chinese Dream or National People's Congress. If you were to go through this article, you would see links to proper nouns like National People's Congress and Chinese Dream, also to verbs like to create, set by Deng Xiaoping, China's own projections, a link provided to those projections. The Chinese economy supposedly grew a link to an article about China's supposed growth rate as advertised by the country itself, or a skeptic might argue a link to my own article arguing that China's economy is not growing at all. As you can see, there is a hyperlink every two or three paragraphs, sometimes more than one per paragraph. The appropriate number of links is really up to you, but I would suggest that wherever an important point is made where some kind of backup or reference would ordinarily be made in a research paper, instead, in online policy writing, a hyperlink should be made at the same time. It's also possible to provide hyperlinks to academic journal articles and to books. For academic journal articles, simply give a hyperlink to the online abstract for the article, and for books, it's best to hyperlink either to the Books Publisher page or to a Google Books page or as a last resort and Amazon.com page for the book. Thank you and enjoy your referencing.
