How to Get SmartCite for Word

• Step 1: Get ReadCube - If you haven't already, sign up for a ReadCube Papers account. You'll be able to try all of the powerful features (including SmartCite) free for 30 days. 

• Step 2: Add the SmartCite Add-In to your Word Toolbar - Look for SmartCite in Microsoft's Add-In Store under Admin Managed. You can find the store by going to the Insert tab in Word and selecting the downward arrow next to Add-Ins. From the Add-Ins menu, select the Get Add-ins link and then select Admin Managed. From the list of available Add-Ins, select the  SmartCite icon and the Add button to install the Add-In. You willthen be able to search for SmartCite and embed it into your References Toolbar. 

  Once you’ve launched SmartCite for the first time, you’ll be prompted to log in to your account. You’ll instantly see your library appear in the right-side panel.

• Step 3: Start Citing! - You can search your library or click on a list or tag library to browse through the various folders. When you’ve found the reference, you are looking for, check the box to the left of the reference and click Insert at the bottom of the panel. 
• Step 4: Insert your Bibliography - When you are ready, go to Style and choose from over 7,000 citation styles - SmartCite will take care of the formatting! Click Insert Bibliography to add it to your documents. Need to change your style? Simply select a new style and click on Update Bibliography. 

• Step 5: Collaborate with Other Authors - Want to share your paper with a colleague who uses ReadCube? Simply send them the Word file. When they launch SmartCite, all your references will automatically be indexed and they can continue working on the document seamlessly.

  If your colleague is not currently a ReadCube user, they can take advantage of our free 30-day trial. Alternatively, you can also easily export your references for use in other citation tools like EndNote.
