Google-drive – Adding bibliographic references to a Google Docs document

google-drive

How can I add my bibliographic references to a Google Docs document?

I've googled around for an answer and found WizCiteWeb from WizFolio, but they say it only works with the older version of Google Docs and I can't seem to find any way to move back to the older version of Google docs. Any ideas?

Google Docs now has built-in citation, using the research tool.

The Research tool makes it easy to add information from the web to your documents and presentations. To access the tool:

  • Select the Research option from the Tools menu.
  • Use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Cmd+I on Mac, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+I on PC).
  • Right-click on a specific word and select Research.
  • Choose scholar in the search bar; search for your citation, and click on "Cite as Footnote".

EDIT

I have been made aware of a third-party add-on that provides more extensive citation functionality to Google Docs called Paperpile. It provides many different inline and footnoted citation styles (They claim >7000).

Also, Faculty of 1000 Workspace (http://f1000.com/work/; geared at life sciences) has a google docs extension (http://f1000.com/work/faq/google-docs-add-on)
