Overview
You can add items to the EMCA Wiki bibliographies in three ways:
- You can email bibadmins@emcawiki.net with a link to the publication/s you want to add.
- You can register for an account then add bibliography entries manually.
- You can import a BibTex file containing many references at once.
However in both cases you will have to be careful to prepare the references before importing them to make sure they're correct and complete. Below are explanations of some of the steps in this process.
Authors
Authors on EMCA wiki have full names, we add them with the format:
Forename Surname
If there are multiple authors, use semicolons to separate them:
Forename Surname; Forename Surname
If there are initials, please include them with a period:
Forename I. Surname
Keywords
We have several specialist bibliographies on the site, based on Paul ten Have's original lists. If you want your addition to appear in the list, please use the following (possibly multiple) keyword groups:
- EMCA (will appear in the 'General Bibliography')
- Basic Resources (will appear in the 'Basic resources and debates')
- Medical EMCA (will appear in the 'Medical EMCA' bibliography)
- MCA (will appear in the 'Member Categorization Analysis' bibliography)
- Discursive Psychology (will appear in the 'Discursive Psychology' bibliography)
- Related Interaction Studies (will appear in the 'Related Interaction Studies' bibliography)
You may also add any other keywords (or use any that are already in your bibtex file)
Bibliography Keys
You'll notice when importing a file that the title of the page is something like Sacks1974
This is because we need to have unique keys for each paper/book etc., which may have the same titles. If you are importing something and the key is already taken, please give it another name when importing it, for example: Sacks1974a or Sacks1974b.
Getting BibTex files to import
You can export a BibTex file for importing into this wiki from most popular bibliography software tools such as Mendeley, Zotero or Papers. When doing so, please try importing a few first, to get the hang of it.
