Reference Numbering

Each reference in a document has a field to store a reference number. This is useful if the reference style or formatting guidelines you are using require a numbered reference list. You can manually enter a number in the "Reference Number" field at the bottom of the document window.

To sort your formatted reference list by number, select "Reference Number" from the "Sort Reference List By" options in the Reference List section of the Preferences Window.

Reference Tracker can also automatically number/renumber the references in your document. There are 3 options for automatic numbering: alphabetically by creator name, alphabetically by title or as added where each reference is given a sequential number as it is added to the document. You can turn on automatic numbering and select one of these options in the General section of the Preferences window.
