eXtyles Bibliographic Reference Processing is very good at restructuring references that already have a decent structure. Your original references may not be in the editorial style that you want; they may not be consistent; they may not even be accurate; but if your references have enough recognizable pieces of information, then eXtyles may be able to do all the tedious restructuring for you.

*Tagging and restructuring book and book chapter references requires the additional Book Reference Processing module. 

**Tagging standard references requires the additional Standard Reference Processing module.

***Only references to standards from publishers with known designation formats (e.g., ISO, IEC, EN, BSI, DIN) are reformatted. References to standards from other publishers (e.g., ASTM, IEEE) have their elements color coded (i.e., identified with character styles), but no reformatting is done to avoid introducing errors in designations

****Tagging conference proceeding references requires the additional Conference Reference Processing module.

Warning

Content in <unknown> references are not altered at all during reference processing.

Info

Further information about standards references can be found on the Standards Bibliographic and Normative Reference Processing page.

Journal References

eXtyles Reference Processing can restructure most journal references that have no significant author errors with near-perfect accuracy. References that are not restructured are visually identified for manual editing.

After reference processing, a typical journal reference looks like this:

Screenshot of a processed journal reference that is tagged as such and has face markup indicating the different parts of the reference (author, title, etc.)

Book and Conference Proceedings

If your organization includes book and conference proceedings in Bibliographic Reference Processing, a typical book reference looks like this:

Screenshot of a processed book reference that is tagged as such and has face markup indicating the different parts of the reference (author, title, etc.)

If you do not have the module for book processing, book references are partially processed.

eXtyles identifies the type of non-journal reference and highlights only the authors and year.

The following example shows how a typical book reference appears after Bibliographic References processing without the book processing module:

Screenshot of a partially identified reference. The reference is tagged as a book with face markup on the author names and year only

Reference numbers and authors in books, edited books, “other,” and electronic references are cleaned up according to your chosen publication style.

No other automatic reformatting is done to non-journal references unless your organization has purchased the book and conference processing feature. All additional editing of non-journal references must be done manually. See the Manual Editing and Reference Reprocessing section for more information.

Note

Not automatically included in Reference Processing! This add-in module can be added to your organization’s configuration by request.

Info

Non-journal references include books as well as references that cite conferences, working papers, unpublished theses, and other works.

Info

Both the reference type tag (such as <bok>) as well as the lesser degree of color coding can easily be used to identify non-journal references.
