Adding a Reference

To add a new bibliographic reference entry:

1) Search for information on the reference including links to accessible copies online, reviews, discussions and/or the web site of the author or sponsor.

2) Next create the BibTeX entry for the reference. (See Guidelines for adding Bibliography entries.)

3) Create a blank page for the reference. To do this within the wiki format, you need to choose an existing page to create the link. Normally, this will be a category page, however, if you are unsure of what categories will be appropriate, you could enter it into the listing of all references on the Cybersecurity Annotated Bibliography.

The title of the new reference page will normally be the short version of the reference title. For example, if the title of the reference is "Pricing Security: Vulnerabilities as Externalities," the page will be named Pricing Security. The exception will be where that page already exists (Cyberwar for example), in which case you will need to include the subtitle to create a unique page name.

4) Clicking on your newly created link will open a blank editing page (if it does not then you need to come up with a new unique page name). Copy and paste the contents of the sample template or some other reference page similar to the new reference into the newly created page. You should copy the source of the template (by selecting the "edit" tab) rather than the displayed page text.

5) Begin editing the template. The "Full Title of Reference" should contain both the main title and any subtitle separated by a colon.

6) The full citation should consists of the bluebook formatted citation for the reference followed by a link to the full text of the reference if available labeled as Web or SSRN depending if the link goes directly to the text or to an intermediate SSRN page. This link should appear on the same line as the citation. If there is a second source for the full text of the reference, it should follow labled as AltWeb.
