Once you select the citation of interest, it will be added to your Manuscript Editor as a hyperlinked {Author, Year} in superscript. If clicked, the hyperlinked reference will open up the Reference list at the bottom of the page and automatically jump to the reference you have added.

Download a Manuscript with References #
Your Reference list will be automatically appended to your Manuscript if you select “Download” in the upper right hand corner. The [Author, Year} citations will automatically be converted to sequential numbers.
All citations or references in Nested Knowledge are presented in (JAMA format).
If you desire a different citation format, we recommend downloading your full reference list/library as a RIS Export and citing using a reference manager (e.g. Zotero).
