Leganto will extract metadata [where available] from the uploaded file to complete the citation. You can add additional information as needed before selecting the appropriate section and clicking Add to create the citation.

If you are uploading a file that you own the copyright, you should assign an appropriate Creative Commons License by selecting a license type from the drop-down list (see Creative Commons for further information on Creative Commons licenses).
