Overview

With the exception of Identities, only logged in members of getCITED can add content to its database. The reason for this is to allow for the provision of an Audit Trail on all of its records. This is necessary as a result of it being possible for anyone to enter any piece of information in the database. Allowing this is an essential part of the getCITED vision, as it makes it possible for each of us to contribute to correcting the errors and omissions we detect as a result of our expertise in particular areas. The downside, however, is that it makes if possible for vandals to wreak havoc with its contents. To avoid this happening, we require that you log in before making any additions or changes, which then allows any member to see who has entered and altered a record by clicking on its Date Last Modified link.

• Publications
  Within getCITED, the term "publications" is used rather loosely. So although it's obvious that this is how you add a new book or article or working paper to the database, it might be less obvious that this is also how you add a conference, a bibliography, or a discussion group. In any case, this is where you do it.
• Identities
  After you've created your own identity, you may want to create additional identities. There are many reasons for this, but the obvious one is if you want to create an identity for someone who is retired or deceased. If getCITED is to realize its true potential, if will definitely require each of us to do this now and then. That said, another (unfortunate) reason why you might find yourself creating an identity for someone other than yourself is if your dissertation advisor requires you to enter her or his CV as part of your RA duties!
• Institutions Within getCITED, the term "institution" is used to refer to universities, colleges, organizations, associations, corporations and other such entities. So if you want to create one of these, this is where you do it.
• Departments The terms "department" and "faculty" are used more or less interchangeably within getCITED. And while there are no rules regarding the administrative level at which people locate themselves, we would suggest you do so in the manner that most usefully denotes the affiliations people have within the institution or organization in question. That said, the way to add a department or faculty is to display its institution/organization and click on the ADD DEPARTMENT button displayed at that time.
