This week I made a wonderful discovery, an application called Recite. It is a tool that lets you check that all your citations are in your list of References, and vice versa, that everything in your list of References has been cited in the body of your article.   Test, Fix and Repeat Recite is accessed through your Google Account in the Chrome web browser. Readers of the Travel Writers Online magazine blog probably already have a free Google Account. The makers of Recite let you run a free test on a short essay, but you can signup for just a month for the price of a couple of cups of coffee. This monthly sub lets you upload whatever you’re writing as many times as you like. This process of test, fix and repeat is very useful as you resolve each of the issues with your in-text referencing. I wish I’d discovered Recite in the spring when we were working as a team of three on a research methods article for a tourism journal in Poland. First, the journal editors wanted APA 7 s...

This morning, we have an update for researchers and students who want to adopt Dialogue Journaling for building knowledge ecosystems but prefer the Google Drive environment. Here is a template designed in Microsoft® WORD conforming to the layout of a WELL document. This means that when it is saved as a PDF it will display without sideways scrolling on a smartphone screen. For Google Drive and Google Doc users, though, it provides an empty template for each page of their notebook journaling. Please feel free to download a copy; then make and store copies as empty templates in the 3 sub-folders of the area you create on Google Drive for journaling. Please click on image above to view the WORD template within a Google Drive folder
