MANAGE YOUR BIBLIOGRAPHY (REFWOKS)

Each document type has a number of special features to take into account when drawing references. Below we summarize the specifications as in the case of an electronic resource, software, audiovisual material or a patent, but there are many more types of documents

Electronic resources may be local as CDs and DVDs or remote in the network.

ISO determines three groups of networked electronic documents.

1.1. Electronic monographs

In this section we will include content-independent files, web sites and file sets or pages that have content and design unity with a common title. Also databases and software would go in this section.

1.2. Electronic serialized publications 

Series are considered a set of files that are accessed through a page, or a series of pages that maintain their individuality but with a common title.

A wiki resource would be integratable, that is a creation composed by parts that can be adjusted separately.

1.3. Discussion lists, blogs and messages

These documents have certain characteristics that should be applied when making references

 • Identifier digital.- Whenever the appeal is associated with a persistent identifier as a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) or another, it shall be specified in the following reference numbers and paging. Ex: DOI: 10.1016 / j.nima.2012.08.046.

• Support. - The type of support has to be stated as indicated in the relevant section. Examples of types of electronic resources would be: [database online], [serial online], [software], [e-mail], and [digital image], [podcast], [audio file].
