Quotation and referencing in the philosophical sphere: the personalization of international styles using reference management software

Abstract

The transmission of the philosophical message needs to be made concrete in a series of formal features, features that range from a correct quotation and referencing of the arguments presented, to a neat and rigorous orthotypographic presentation of bibliographic references. The task can be done manually, a slow and complicated process, or using Reference Management Software, such as ProCite, RefWorks, EndNote or Zotero. This article intends, in eleven parts, to offer the possibility to personalize the method of citation and referencing following international norms and adapting them to Spanish orthotypograhy. In short, to help the philosopher, the student, the teacher, in the task of creating an academic paper with guaranteed success.
