Bibliography Guidelines

From GATE

This a short guide about how to create and edit bibliography entries to contribute to the Bibliographia Kircheriana.

Create new entries

Step 1: check if your entry already exists

Before adding new entries, you must check if they are already listed in the bibliography. For this purpose, you can use the search function of the table displayed in the page. Search is made just within the fields of the table (Author, Title, Year, Language, Bibliographic level), even if a single bibliographic entry has more fields - as we are going to see. When you start typing, the results begin to be filtered. The search is case sensitive, so e.g. 'là' is different from 'la'.
We recommend to do an accurate search before add other entries.

Step 2: give a name to your entry

Once you are sure your entry is not present in the Bibliographia, you can add it using the empty field over the table.

Step 3: fill the bibliography entries form
