Magic Citations

Papers helps you organize your work in progress with a dedicated space for your manuscripts. As soon as you insert a citation in any document, it is automatically saved to My Manuscripts under My Research in Papers.

Papers has a build in reference manager with compatibility for any application you can imagine. Cite in web browsers, word processors, spreadsheets, or presentations. If a document is saved and you add a citation, it is automatically added to My Manuscripts.

If you are using Magic Citations with Scrivener, we made a separate tutorial dedicated to it.

The videos below show how you can use Magic Citations in Pages and Word, although you can insert citations in many other applications as well.

If you are asked to remove field codes from a submitted manuscript you created using citations, you can follow the instructions we have posted in this knowledge base article

Update The 'Insert bibliography' option has been removed from the Magic Citations menu option. The reason for this is that the bibliography also gets added when one chooses 'Format Manuscript' anyway, and the only use of that menu was to insert the bibliography at a location other than the end. If you format the manuscript, and then unformat the manuscript you should be left with a field code at the end called {paper2_bibliography}. If you then cut this you can paste it into whatever position you like within the document and the bibliography will appear there the next time you format the manuscript.
