Selecting fields to display

In the reference list view, it is possible to display up to 10 fields at a time. You to change the order, the selection field and the number to be displayed. This option is useful for displaying relevant fields as well as having access to a simple sorting based on appropriate fields.

You can also choose whether to show all the authors or only the first author in the reference list view. A check box in the «Display all authors in the Author field» box shows all authors with initials. Keep in mind that this can take up a lot of space, or that there won’t be room for so many authors if the column width increases significantly.

See more on Customize the interface and Reference types.

  • Right-click the column headers
  • This will display the list of the 57 fields you can choose from
  • Check the box for fields to be displayed and remove those that are not to be displayed

  • Select «Preferences» from the «Edit» menu
