Evaluating a Reference

You can write an evaluation for each reference in your project on the Contents tab.  Evaluations and ratings primarily help you to assess how important a work is to your project.

You can also print a list containing your comments to give to students as a recommended reading list. For example, you could provide a list of references with notes such as "good introduction to topic X," "seminal work," "recommended for advanced study on topic Y," etc. See Creating an Annotated Project Bibliography.

1.Switch to the desired reference in the Reference Editor.

2.Click the Contents tab.

Applying a Rating

In addition to or instead of an evaluation, you can apply star ratings to a reference. You can decide for yourself what the rating should stand for.

1.Open the reference in the Reference Editor.

2.Switch to the Content tab.

3.Click the stars to apply. To clear a star rating, click just to the left of the stars.

Hint: In the table view you can sort your references by star rating.
