eXtyles greatly reduces the time an editor must spend editing reference lists and bibliographies and helps ensure that your references are set up according to your organization’s preferred style. eXtyles for USGS includes both a Bibliographic References processing function, which automatically identifies a reference entry’s type (journal, book, etc.) and restructures certain reference types based on your organization’s publication style, and a Bibliographic References - Tag Only function, which automatically identifies a reference entry’s type (journal, book, etc.) but does not perform any reference restructuring.

The Bibliographic Reference processing function can restructure most journal and book references that have no significant errors with near-perfect accuracy. References that are not restructured are visually identified for manual editing. If the Bibliographic References - Tag Only function is used, all references will need to be manually copy edited.

Only paragraphs that were styled during the Cleanup process or by hand as References are restructured during either of these steps.
