# 选择文献类型

建立新文献时，文献会自动设置为默认的文献类型。如果想选择其他文献类型，选择文献窗口上方的[文献类型列表](https://app.gitbook.com/s/-LrgCHEEK5wsSALfCziF/references/Appendices/List_of_Reference_Types.htm)选择一个期望的文献类型。

一般情况下文献类型需要输入信息前选择，但是文献类型随时可以改变，已输入的文献信息会自动转化成新文献类型相应的字段。

文献类型决定了在文献窗口中显示的字段，例如期刊的文献有 Journal, Volume, 和 Issue 等字段，但是书籍就没有这些字段，却有主编和出版社等字段。

**自定义字段和文献类型**

可以移除，增加或者重命名字段，参阅[自定义文献类型](https://app.gitbook.com/s/-LrgCHEEK5wsSALfCziF/references/14RefTypes/Customizing_the_RefTypes.htm)了解更多信息。
