Publications

The Publication content type enables you to display published academic articles, publications, and other works that adhere to various established styles and formatting conventions (such as MLA, AMA, Chicago, IEEE, and more). 

The Quickstart Publication module is not enabled by default. Please contact Campus Web Services to get it enabled.

  2. Click '+Add Quickstart Citation Style'.
  3. Enter a descriptive label for the style.
