Instructions for Adding a Study

There are several ways of adding studies to CalSWIM. The best way depends on your specific study. The following are three common scenarios.

Single Article, PDF or Word Format

A. In the Studies main page, add your study to the main index, along with a link to a page (to be created afterwards) that will hold your study, like this:

• Edit the Studies main page -- see how to edit pages.
• Add the citation of your study to the index (title, authors, where published, when, etc.) -- see editor.
• Select some part of the citation as the hyperlink, for example, the title, and hyperlink it to a page to be created -- see how to hyperlink.
• Preview, and if everything is ok, Save & View -- see editor.

• Attach the article -- see how to add attachments to a page.
• Add a description of your article to this page, for example, the abstract and authors, and any contextual information. Copyright may be here too.
• Add some meaningful tags to the page. For example, if the study is about Newport Bay, use the tag Newport Bay -- see editor for how to add tags.

Multiple Articles, PDF or Word Format

Do part A exactly as above. For part B, attach multiple files instead of a single file. The page should now describe the collection of these articles.

Article, Wiki Format

Do part A exactly as above. For part B, and in order to make your study more appealing for web visitors, you may want to write it in Wiki format directly. For that, we suggest you create a whole Space for your study -- a space is a collection of related pages. Go wild! Please make sure to visit the Help pages in order to make the most out of the features of this Wiki, including tables, maps, using data retrieved from databases, plotting charts, etc.
