As you work with Citation, you are going to enter bibliographic information on your source works
and research notes in a datafile. A datafile is a lot like a word processing document, with a "record" or
"page" for each of your source works and each of your notecards.
To begin working with Citation, you will need to create a new datafile.
To create a Citation datafile:
- On the Citation menu, click
File, New Datafile.
Citation will ask you to select the form for the first record
in the datafile:

- Click OK to add a
blank record form for an Article in a Journal.
