To Add Reference Linking to the Layout Process When turning a submission into HTML or PDF, make sure that all hyperlinks in the submission are active. A. When the Author Provides a Link with the Reference While the submission is still in its word processing format (e.g., Word), add the phrase VIEW ITEM to the end of the reference that has a URL. Turn that phrase into a hyperlink by highlighting it and using Word's Insert Hyperlink tool and the URL prepared above. B. Enabling Readers to Search Google Scholar For References While the submission is still in its word processing format (e.g., Word), copy the title of the work referenced in the References list (if it appears to be too common a title—e.g., "Peace"—then copy author and title). Paste the reference's title between the %22's, placing a + between each word: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22PASTE+TITLE+HERE%22 Add the phrase GS SEARCH to the end of each citation in the submission's References list. Turn that phrase into a hyperlink by highlighting it and using Word's Insert Hyperlink tool and the URL prepared in #2. C. Enabling Readers to Search for References with a DOI While the submission is still in Word, copy a batch of references into CrossRef Text Query http://www.crossref.org/freeTextQuery/. Paste each DOI that the Query provides in the following URL (between = and &amp;): http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/external_ref?access_num=PASTE DOI#HERE&amp;link_type=DOI. Add the phrase CrossRef to the end of each citation in the submission's References list. Turn that phrase into a hyperlink by highlighting the phrase and using Word's Insert Hyperlink tool and the appropriate URL prepared in #2.
