Biblioscape currently includes 27 built-in reference types. In addition to those that are built-in, you can create your own new reference types. Before you create your own reference types, you should first give some thought as to whether existing ones could serve you adequately. There are some drawbacks to creating new reference types. For one thing, each time you add a new reference type you will have to create a corresponding new style template for it, unless you are willing to let Biblioscape use the default style. For another, each new reference type you create results in an increased possibility that you or one of your colleagues will enter data inconsistently from one reference to the next. Still, if you do have the need for new reference types to accommodate your data, feel free to do so.
Each reference type requires a different set of data fields. You can customize which data fields to be associated with a certain reference type. In the reference editor "User Defined" view, only those associated data fields are displayed.
