Adding bibliography entries

Overview

You can import a BibTex file containing many references at once, however you will have to edit the references before (and possibly after) importing them to make sure they're correct.

There are a few features of this process you might want to attend to especially carefully:

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.
