1) Augmented Citing
Copy as Citation
In this system can copy text from a PDF in Reader and paste it in Author as a citation, as shown in this video:
Imagine you are writing a paper and you need to include citations based on your research:
First, what are the tools you currently use for writing and citing? [_______________]
Do you use Reference Management software, if so which? [_______________]
Q: Do you think the method demonstrated in the video looks like it would help you save time compared to your current method?
Strongly disagree, disagree somewhat, neutral, agree somewhat, strongly agree
Q: Does it look like it would be be less error prone than your current method?
Strongly disagree, disagree somewhat, neutral, agree somewhat, strongly agree
Q: Does it look like this would help you stay focused when reading and citing?
Strongly disagree, disagree somewhat, neutral, agree somewhat, strongly agree
Auto Export with References
When you are done writing and citing, you can export a PDF from Author which will put the citations into a Reference Appendix automatically:
Q: Do you feel this would make it easier to get formatting correct?
Strongly disagree, disagree somewhat, neutral, agree somewhat, strongly agree
Q: Do you feel this would save you time?
Strongly disagree, disagree somewhat, neutral, agree somewhat, strongly agree
Click on Citation
When a document you are reading has Visual-Meta, you can click on a citation to see the full Reference information (the citation style shown is not the only one supported):
Q: Would being able to click on a citation to see the full reference information make it more likely that you would look to see what the citation is?
Strongly disagree, disagree somewhat, neutral, agree somewhat, strongly agree
Q: Would it make it more likely you would follow up and read more of the documents cited?
Strongly disagree, disagree somewhat, neutral, agree somewhat, strongly agree
Do you have any other comments on how Augmented Citations might fit into or change your workflow? [_______________]
