Powercite software that runs as a Microsoft Word 2007/2010 add-in.

REQUIREMENTS

Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10
Microsoft Word 2013, 2016


Click the PowerCite button on the ribbon to start PowerCite for current document.

01


Every document will have its own instance of PowerCite, thus keeping databases separate between documents.
PowerCite functionality is accessible form three taskpanes

02


1 . Database taskpane is the main taskpane for management of references. It is used organize references, insert references in document, access full-text PDF files or web pages associated with references, access settings for the document or for the application, and other tools.
2 . Reference manager taskpane is the second most useful taskpane. It gives details of selected reference, and is home for PowerCite’s web browser and PDF viewer
3 . PubMed taskpane provides an organized way to search PubMed or Google Scholar.


PowerCite adds following files / folders in the document folder

01


1 . A ‘pcxmls’ file with same name as the word document. This contains the database linked with the document.
2 . FullText folder contains pdf files for the references. Each pdf is given a unique name which is linked to the reference.
3 . PowerCite folder contains
a . Pdfxmls files that contain information about highlights and the reading position
b . _abstract.html file is PubMed webpage download for the reference for offline viewing


This is main working taskpane for PowerCite
It has three tabs


1 . Database tab. This tab is main tab for working with reference database. Its features include
a.Opening, importing or saving database
b.Sorting, filtering, organizing, viewing references
c.Importing, adding, merging or deleting references
d.Inserting or removing references to or from document
e.Accessing full-text PDFs or web pages associated with the references
2 . Settings tab. This tab includes
a. Access software settings
1. Visualization customization
2. Web time-out duration
3. Icon clicks behavior in database customization
4. University PubMed link customization
5. Design citation formats
6. Design import format to import from other softwares
7. Define folders to be used as central repository
8. And reference taskpane customization
b. Unlock software
c. Access document settings
1. Citation format
2. Covert references for other software formats to PowerCite, or vice-versa (limited)
3. Change the database file linked with the current document
3 .Tools tab. This tab includes
a. Folder browser for current document
b. Notes, which are saved within a document, using a key, and are hidden from other users
c. Quick calculator
d. Abbreviation management tools
e. And conversion of fields to text only, for working with document in a software unable to handle Microsoft word fields


This taskpane has three tabs


1 . Details tab, where selected reference details can be edited or added.
2 . Web tab, which is a web browser that allows
a . Adding a web page as a reference to database, which can be used as bookmarks for working document
b . Adding PubMed reference directly to the database
c . Visualize linked webpage or PubMed link of a reference
d . Download PDF and link to current reference
3 . PDF tab, which is a PDF viewer that allows
a . Highlights, that are not embedded in the PDF file but kept in the document folder. This allows different highlights for same PDF for different documents
b . Search within PDF file
c . Directly search a selected text from PDF in web browser
d . Open a PDF file linked to a reference


Is designed to search PubMed and Google Scholar in an organized fashion.


– Its top section is a search box, with multiple shortcuts to help you build a search query.
– Middle section displays search results. Multiple searches can be combined. Index value displays the number of search results the reference has been found.
– Bottom section quickly displays selected information for each reference. Format for this section is customizable


This tab is main user interface for PowerCite. This section covers the main features that will get you started. Some advanced features will be covered later sections.


a . Adding a new reference.
A common way to add a reference to the database is by using PubMed ID. If you have copied PubMed or PubMed central ID or URL, you can click the import PubMed button to add the reference to the database. PowerCite will connect to web to download the details of this reference.



Another common way is to add a blank reference and then enter details in the Reference taskpane

1
b . Saving database
To save database linked to your current document, you have to save your document first. Clicking the save button
2
will save the database, a ‘pcxmls’ file, in the same folder as your document. If new references are added to database, or if a reference is modified, then save button turns orange. Clicking it saves the database and turns it green.
3
Saving database also saves the word document. If a reference is deleted from database, save button turns red.
4
Clicking will not remove the deleted reference from the saved version. Ctrl-click will remove the deleted reference from the saved version. Database is automatically save when word document is saved.
c . Opening database
To open database linked to your document, just click the open linked database button.
5
To open some other database, use database menu, and navigate to database, load file
6
d . Getting references from document
If there are PowerCite references in the document, they can be imported in database but clicking sync with document button. This button also generates bibliography in the document, and adds index numbers to the references in database.
7
e . Sorting
Can be done by index number, author name (ascending or descending), and by year of publication.
8
f . Headings
Can be used to group references. Heading name is added in the reference details section in reference taskpane. References can be dragged from one heading to another, and headings can be renamed by using right click commands.
9
g . Full text or browser icons
Can be turned on using file/web icon.
11
File icon (marked as ‘1’ in figure below) click opens the pdf in the reference taskpane, and web icon (marked as ‘2’ in figure below) click opens the web link, PubMed offline abstract file, or PubMed link in reference taskpane.
11
Click settings for these two icons can be modified in the settings form.
12
h . Search box (marked as ‘1’ in figure below)
Allows text search in references (including author names, titles, notes etc) in the database. It is real time search. Find PDF (‘2’) icon, which is only active in full version or during trial period, changes this search box to PDF search, which is not a real time search, but requires clicking of Enter key on keyboard.
13
Right click on search box opens option to rebuild PDF dictionary. Once PDF dictionary is generated, which takes about 1-2 seconds for each PDF file in database, PDF search is much faster. Use of square parenthesis ‘[ ]’ allows searching combination of words in full-text search. Once full-text search is active, and if reference taskpane is open, selecting any reference automatically opens the PDF with the search term already searched and highlighted.
i . Turn notes on/off
Turns notes in database on / off.
14

j . Clear highlight button
Clears highlights in database and document.
15

k . Cycle line count
Cycles through number of lines used to display references in database list – single line, double line or variable to show full reference
16


a. Import database allows to import
a. References from a formatted reference list, e.g. from a published manuscript reference section. This displays an import reference form, which is discussed separately
b. References from a PubMed search generated list and saved in xml format
c. References copied from another documents database
d. Or a single reference saved in another format. Currently only ‘enw’ format is imported. This can be used to import a reference without PubMed ID, but option to save as ‘enw’ format from a website.
17
b. Database submenu can be used to save database (same as save button), load default database (same as open button), load a database different to the one linked to current document, or import references from the document (same as sync with document button).
18
c. Zip database submenu allows to zip full text pdf files in a single file
19
d. Find PDFs submenu can be used to find full text pdf files for all references in database from a particular folder or from a zip file
20
e. Filter or highlight database on document selection can be used to quickly identify references selected in the document
21
f. Clear highlight clear highlights in document, database or both
22
g. Lines submenu works the same way as lines button
11
h. Run fixes menu item fixes multiple small issues with the database references, including fix if any duplicates, fix if author names are in capitals. It is useful try this first if there is an error when trying to generate bibliography.
24
i. Central repository database menu item opens the central repository database, or changes back to local database. Central repository database can be modified from the settings form
25
j. Copy PDFs to central repository copies local PDFs to central repository. If ‘Use Both’ is checked in settings form than this may not be needed.
26
k. Add database to central repository adds reference from local database to central repository
27


There are 4 short cut menus in the database taskpane


1. Reference short cut menu
11
a. Insert selection in document inserts all selected references in document. Single reference can be selected or unselected using ctrl-click, and multiple references can be selected or unselected using shit-click. Selected references are highlighted as uniform grey.

b. Highlight reference in document highlights references currently selected references, in the database, in the document
c. Delete reference submenu can be used to delete selected references from document, delete references from the selection in the document, or both. If a reference is deleted from database, save button will turn red, instead of orange, and ctrl-click will delete reference from saved database file.
d. Move selected reference is used to move all selected references under a heading
e. Update reference from PubMed can be used if the details of a reference are changed e.g. a reference that was previously in print, but is now published
f. Check PDF online submenu looks for free full text PDFs by working through PubMed. If free full text PDF is found, it is downloaded and linked to the reference. It can be then accessed using the file icon in reference
g. Copy submenu can be used to copy reference from this database to a database attached to another database. See import copied references in database tab menu, or using paste from clipboard item in this menu
h. Paste from clipboard is used to paste copied references from another documents database
i. Link existing PDF is used to link any PDF file to current reference. That file will be renamed and copied to FullText folder
j. Look in Google Scholarwill search first author last name, year and title of the reference in Google Scholar
k. Select to merger this reference and Merge with selected referencecan be used to merge two copies of same reference. This can sometimes happen if one copy is manually created before reference was published on PubMed, and a second copy was created from PubMed. Merging reference this way will open a form with option to choose fields from one reference or other for final merge. Both references will be updated to the final reference in the document also.
l. Select submenu is used to select all references or remove selection from all
m. Show only selected creates a special filter that only displays references that are in selection
n. Clear highlight submenu can be used to clear highlights, which is same as clear highlight in database tab menu
2. Headings shortcut menu lets you change the name of the heading, in addition to options to collapse or uncollapse.
3. Web icon shortcut menu has options to update reference from PubMed (same as in reference shortcut menu), check free full text PDF online (same as in reference shortcut menu), and open the web link
4. File shortcut menu can help copy PDF path, open the file, or delink the PDF file


Settings tab provides access to document and application settings.


Document settings are displayed within the taskpane (‘A’), whereas application settings are available (from toolbar button – ‘B’ 4) as a separate form.

If there is a format by similar name already in the list, it will be replaced. If you are not sure, backup your settings before import (show settings button in toolbar > save button on form)


Designing new citation format
Designing a new citation format is a very simple process
Make a copy of the core format that this new citation format will be based on
1) List format can include following place holders
1
a. AU – generates author names list. Author max count number is used to list the maximum number of authors (e.g. 6 for JAMA) and Authors trimmed count is used to list the number of authors if the number exceeds the maximum. Normally author names are separated by ‘,’ (author list separator), and author last name and first name are separated by no separator (author first name separator).
If the quoted work is done by a group, then group name is used rather than individual author names
b. TI – generates title of the research.
c. JN – generates journal name
d. YR – generates year of publication
e. VO – generates volume of publication
f. PG – generates page numbering. There are three formats for page numbering — full (e.g. 123-124), partial (e.g. 123-4), and initial (e.g. 123) selected using page number format drop down box
There are two formatting options for place holders
o For italics use ‘i’ e.g. iJN will format journal name in italics
o For bold use ‘b’ e.g. bYR will format year in bold
Other characters and spaces can be placed as needed e.g. AU. TI will place a period and a space between author list a title, [PG] will placed page numbers in square parenthesis.
2) In-text format 2 is used to format indexes in the document. The contents are mainly determined by choosing one of the 4 core formats as noted in Application SettingsForm Citation format settings tab section. It can be made superscript by using ‘^’. E.g. ^{N} will create references in format ‘1’. Any additional characters will be used as such. E.g. [{N}] will generate [1]. Numbers are always grouped together e.g. ‘1-3,5,7’
3) Last is the sorting of indexing 3This field is totally based on which core format is used and there is no modification needed.


1
This tab is used to convert references from other citation softwares to PowerCite. It also allows creation of new import format (for advanced user).
Reference formats of other softwares that can be imported in PowerCite are listed in the drop down list. Similar to adding new Citation formats, other reference formats can be created here (using add, save and remove buttons next to the drop-down). This tab is mainly designed to test and trouble shoot import formats. It also can be used for actual conversion of another format to PowerCite or EndNote. However, conversion options are more readily available in Settings tab in database taskpane.
1. Restart button scans the document (again) for any fields. Total number of fields and current field are displayed in the counter section. Current field is displayed in the field view section.
2. Test button tests the currently selected field against the currently selected format, and displays the first reference identified in the field in the reference box. If the field does not match the signature of the current format, then ‘NOT FOUND’ is displayed in the current box.
3. Execute button converts references in the document from currently selected to PowerCite format.
4. Try all button checks all fields against signatures of all foreign reference formats in the drop down list and converts the fields to PowerCite format
5. To EndNote button converts reference from the currently selected format to EndNote format. Note that conversion back and forth from EndNote to PowerCite will only keep essential information.
6. XML mapper section is used to define mapping of foreign xml to PowerCite fields (listed in PowerCite fields list).
a) ID is identifier used in word field that precedes the xml e.g. ‘ADDIN FS.CITE’ for PowerCite
b) Encl is enclosing xml for all the references in word field e.g. FSCite in PowerCite
c) CiteEncl is enclosing xml for individual citations in the field e.g. MedCite in PowerCite
d) AUS is xml tag enclosing list of authors
e) AU is xml tag enclosing individual authors
f) FN is separator used between first name and last name. e.g. ‘,’ if the format is LastName,F.N. It can also be an xml tag e.g. in case where the author name is stored as
<AU><LN>LastName></LN><FN>F.N.</FN><AU>
g) YR, TI, JN, VO and PG extracts year, title, journal name, volume number an page number. If the field has a ‘.’ (period) in the xml key, then it means that the key will be separated into two parts. Second part will be the xml node containing the value, and first part will be somewhere in parent path of the final xml node e.g. dates.year would capture <root><record><dates><date><year>value</year></date></dates></record></root>
Tutorial for importing and exporting from other reference formats


Reference database in PowerCite can be maintained with each document (Use Local ‘1’), in a central repository (Use Central Only ‘2’) or both (Use Both ‘3’). Moreover, more than one central repositories can be maintained (listed in section ‘4’). When repository is retrieved or searched from database taskpane, it will look in all central repositories, but when a reference is added to a central repository, it will only add it to the default repository (‘5’) (Make Default button ‘6’). When full text is searched on the computer from CiteManager taskpane, it is looked in all repositories.

Field <> plain text allows conversion of fields to plain text and vice versa. Save a copy of the document before converting to plain text.


is designed to access details of a reference, change details of a reference and add new details to a reference
1
Three fields are essential for every reference – 1st Author, Year and Title. Combination of these fields is used as an ID to identify any reference. So if any of these fields are changed, reference citations in the text are also amended to avoid a loss of link between the quoted reference and the database listed reference.
PowerCite supports four types of references.
2
Journal article is default type. Abstract and Webpage are other common types. If a reference is not fitting in any of these categories than free text type can be used.
Once text is changed, save icon turns orange indicating an unsaved change.
Any web links in notes activate web icon in the database, and those web links are opened with web icon click in the database
