Widespread adoption of an enterprise reference management tool depends on flexibility. Teams rarely work the same way: some draft manuscripts in Microsoft Word, others collaborate in Google Docs, and many build presentations in PowerPoint. Without a consistent workflow, citations can quickly become inconsistent or difficult to manage across platforms.
Beyond document format, flexibility extends to citation style requirements and content organization. Medical writers may follow AMA or other publisher-specific formats, regulatory teams may adhere to different standards, and researchers may organize literature in entirely different ways. To gain traction across an enterprise, a reference management solution must accommodate these variations.
With that in mind, RightFind Cite It from CCC now delivers the same integrated citation management experience in Google Docs that it provides in Microsoft Word (Windows and Mac) and PowerPoint (Windows), enabling a consistent workflow across the document platforms teams rely on most.
How RightFind Cite It Integrates with Google Docs, Word, and PowerPoint
From within Google Docs, Word, or PowerPoint, users can search for and insert citations with one click. Teams can search personal and shared libraries, their company’s digital library, or RightFind’s full catalog of over 183 million citations to quickly find the source they need. Because the plugin works the same way across all three platforms, users can also standardize a single reference management workflow regardless of which application they author in.
Over 10,000 Citation Styles, Including AMA and Custom Formats
RightFind Cite It supports over 10,000 citation styles and provides companies with the option to submit their own custom style. Users can easily switch between citation styles while authoring a document, and they can apply an updated style to any citation in the document, saving time and effort as style requirements change.
Whether a user is writing an article in Google Docs, or creating a PowerPoint to display at a conference, the ability to select from a wide range of citation styles eliminates the need to manually format citations, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.
Centralized, Access-Controlled Libraries with Built-In Rights Checking
For those users that prefer to curate and organize literature that may eventually be cited, the ability to manage content in centralized access-controlled libraries that integrate with their preferred reference management plugin is a must. It’s important, however, that those libraries meet the needs of a variety of teams and can be customized based on the unique workflows of various roles, whether that be Medical Affairs, Pharmacovigilance, or R&D.
Certain groups may require a robust set of collaboration features in their library, like the ability to annotate documents, or the option to leave comments or reviews for their peers. Some teams may have a need to include custom fields within each library record. Other groups may prefer to further organize the contents of their libraries through the use of tags in order to assign keywords to content for quick retrieval.
Whatever a team’s requirements, centralized libraries provide a convenient way to organize and collaborate on content. The libraries in RightFind, which integrate with RightFind Cite It, give users the ability to organize content in a way that fits their workflows. RightFind libraries also include built-in rights checking, helping organizations address copyright compliance as they organize and cite content. And the integration with RightFind Cite It means users can easily search the contents of their RightFind libraries right from within the document being authored, even providing the ability to filter by the tag associated to content in a chosen library.
