Since Scalar is a platform for scholarly publishing, proper citations are a must.  Due to the already expansive wealth of information present on the internet, such as the Purdue OWL, this page will instead focus on how to insert citations into Scalar.

The easiest way is to cut and paste a pages worth of text and citations into Scalar from a word processing program, such as Microsoft Word.  The preliminary text without citations can be typed into Scalar, and then copied into the word processor, cited, and pasted back into Scalar.  Unfortunately, the coding behind the text in many word processors makes straight pasting difficult.  

Scalar has a feature that allows users to paste from Word.  Clicking the paste from word button will bring up an interface that will allow users to paste from word with no ill effects, and citations will be entered as well.  Citations will also function as they did in their native word processor, where clicking the citation number will jump down the page to the citation itself.
