Citation & References

References can be added by any registered user. To avoid misleading links to the data and to be as transparent as possible, the user who added the reference to a submission is given as information.
References can be either:

• Option 1: “Cited own work - reference citing exactly this experiment/same authors"
• Option 2: “cited reference - reference citing the experiment done by others”
• Option 3: “referring to - reference similar experiments or related literature”

Since version 3, both contributors and reviewers can add literature references on the publication, review and embargo pages, so a reference can still be supplied after a submission has been handed over. Added references appear under Reference in the Literature on the record's detail page, and they are included in the Chemotion ZIP export and in the reaction report.

Scheme only contributions are often added by scientists that are not the authors of the original work where the reaction was mentioned. Therefore, scheme only reactions should be given along with the publication that describes the reaction - if possible and available. If you are the author of a scheme only publication, please add the reference to your publication as soon as it is available.
