Reference Library
Your references live in a dedicated library you can browse, organize, search, and reorder.
Browsing
Section titled “Browsing”- In the admin, open References to see every reference with columns for type, authors, year, and identifiers.
- On the front end, references have a public archive at
/references/and a single-reference view for each entry.
Categories and tags
Section titled “Categories and tags”Two taxonomies help you organize references:
- Reference Categories - broad groupings (for example, by topic or project).
- Reference Tags - lighter, free-form labels.
Assign them on the reference edit screen, or manage them under the References menu. Both work as filters when browsing.
Collections
Section titled “Collections”Collections group references for a purpose - a paper, a course, a reading list - independent of categories and tags.
- Add references to one or more collections.
- Keep a collection private, make it public, or share it with specific people.
Search and filter
Section titled “Search and filter”- Search references by title, author, year, DOI, PMID, or ISBN.
- Fuzzy search tolerates small typos and near matches.
- Search suggestions offer completions as you type.
Sorting and ordering
Section titled “Sorting and ordering”- Sort by the available sort options (such as title, date, or author).
- Reorder references manually where a fixed order matters (for example, a curated list).
