The first tab is called Quotes, the second is Sources. My spreadsheet name is "Policy - Ex-Felon Voting Rights Citations and Quotes." Then - I make 2 tabs.
Let's use a research project that I just did for my Policy class as an example. I name it something like Class name - Project name - Citations and Quotes. You could easily do this in any spreadsheet program. For each research project or paper, I create a new Google Sheets spreadsheet for references. Plus, scrolling down to check these references was annoying. The problem was, if I had multiple quotes, I couldn't organize them by topic for fear of losing the reference link, or I'd have to duplicate the URL multiple times. Or, if I'm doing research, I'd just copy and paste URLs with maybe some quotes from the study or article. I started out, as most people do, with kind of a hodge-podge system of just cutting and pasting URLs from the Internet and sticking them at the bottom of the Word document of the paper. AND despite the fact I'm not writing a dissertation, I have written some papers that have had over 25 sources, so I do need SOME kind of system to organize and manage my citations. I supposed if I was writing a dissertation with a hundred citations, I would feel the need to pay for and learn a whole complicated citation software, but since I'm not, I prefer to use tools that I already use and know well.
References and citations are very important, as they are for any discipline. I'm in my first year of graduate school and we do a lot of writing. Hi, everyone! This is Lara Hammock from the Marble Jar channel and in today's video, I'll tell you how I use Google Sheets to organize my citations and sources for papers and research projects.
