Here is a step-by-step guide for uploading new information to the website.
Note: You must be logged in as a paid ACBS member to add new content.
THERE ARE TWO MAIN OPTIONS FOR ADDING CONTENT TO THE SITE:
Option 1: Adding New Content
First, you’ll want to find the best place to add your content. We have gathered a list of the most common types of information added to the site, and their most appropriate locations. The instructions for each type of information may be different, so please check the list below for specific steps to adding content to these areas. You can also add new content from scratch, although most members will find that their content most likely fits under an existing page and should search from the list below.
- ADDING A PUBLICATION (Article or Book)
1. Check the publications page to see if your book or article is already added to the Publications List by going to www.contextualscience.org/publications. If it is not,
2. On your member dashboard, in the "Post your own content!" menu, click "Publication (article or book)"
3. In the Title field, write a short title for your publication. The title naming convention has been "Author, Year" or "Author1, Author2, Year". Please do not write the whole citation in this field.
4. In the APA Citation field, please write the full citation for your book or article using APA writing style.
Here is an example of APA style for a scholarly article:
Smith, J. (2009). Experiential avoidance: A review of the research to date. Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 4, 335-340.For a book chapter:
Smith, J. (2009). Experiential avoidance in context: Perspectives on the ACT model of psychopathology. In S. Smith & J. Smith (Eds.), Understanding the ACT model (pp. 225 – 275). Oakland, CA: New Harbinger.For a book:
Smith, J. (2009). Everything you ever wanted to know about ACT and were afraid to ask. Oakland, CA: New Harbinger.5. IMPORTANT: In the APA Citation Search field you must again enter the full APA citation for your article -- You can just copy and paste, but formatting won't be retained (no bold, italics, larger or different fonts, hyperlinks, etc.). This field becomes searchable -- so that members can search the publications list using any part of the article citation (e.g., your name, any word in the title, the journal, the year, etc.). Without this field inputted correctly, people may miss out in finding your article in a Citation Search.
6. Select the type of publication from the list of categories that appear.
7. Select the publication type (book, article, etc.... if it is a book chapter, please select "book").
8. Select the language (if only the abstract is translated into 2 languages, please do select BOTH languages by holding down "Ctrl" when selecting them).
9. Then add any abstract, comments, and keywords you have for the publication.
10. If relevant, add attachment(s) by clicking "Choose Files" under "Add a new file".
11. Click Preview to see what it will look like, then Save to save the page to the website.
- ADDING AN ASSESSMENT MEASURE
If you would like to add a measure, please go to Measures & Assessment.
1. Read through the different possibilities for the measure categories – these are listed in blue text as “child pages” off of the main page. If your category is not there (many already are), you should add it. If you find your category, you can either create a new child page to discuss your measure in detail, or you may simply add it as an attachment (see Adding an Attachment below) to another previously existing child page (e.g., AAQ specific measures).
2. Once on the page where you would like to add your measure (whether it be the main measure page or a child page off of it), scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Add child page link. A new page should appear for you to create your child page.
3. Add the Title of your child page. The title should be short but descriptive. Please do not write the whole citation for the measure in the title field.
4. In the Body field of the child page, please describe your assessment measure. Discuss its properties, its use, its full citation (even if unpublished) and perhaps a way to contact you if users have further questions.
5. Upload your attachment for the measure itself by clicking "Choose Files"
6. Click Preview to see how the page will look, and Save to finalize the page.
- ADDING A CLINICAL RESOURCE (protocol, visual aid, etc)
If you would like to add a clinical resource, there are two main places to do so. If you are positing a treatment manual or protocol (e.g., session by session guide to treatment) please add it as a child page under Treatment Protocols. If you have other clinical materials such as metaphors or exercises, please add it under the Clinical Resources section to the site.
1. Once you have found the main page for either your protocol or clinical resource, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Add Child Page link. A new page will appear.
2. In the Title box, type a brief but descriptive title for your protocol.3. In the Body box, describe a little bit about how you envision the protocol to be used (if necessary) and information on how to contact you if members have further questions.
4. Then upload your protocol or manual by clicking "Choose Files". We recommend uploading Word files or pdf files to ensure the most ease of use for our members.
5. Click Preview to see how the page will look, and Save to finalize the page.
- CREATING NEW CONTENT FROM SCRATCH
You may also add new content to any part of the site (e.g., not as a child page). However, we recommend that if you do so, you should link this page to something so that people can find your new content. Often linking your page to something else will require higher editing privileges than your account allows. If you need help with the best place to put your content or would like the web editor to link your page to something pre-existing (but for some reason a child page was not appropriate) please do not hesitate to contact us.
1. On your member dashboard, in the "Post your own content!" menu, click "Book page"
2. Enter the title of the page, as well as your content in the "body" of the page.3. If relevant, add attachment(s) by clicking "Choose Files"
4. Click "save."
General tips when adding your own content
- ADDING A HYPERLINK
1. Highlight the text you would like to be the hyperlink (the text that when clicked will take your reader to the webpage you choose).
2. Then click the hyperlink button.
3. In the box that appears, type or paste the URL (for example: http://contextualscience.org/readme), then click the green check mark to save.
- UPLOADING ATTACHMENTS
1. Towards the bottom of the page, click the "Choose Files" button.
2. A box should appear that will allow you to browse your computer folders for the proper attachment. All formats are allowed, but we recommend uploading your attachment as either a Word document or .pdf for ease of use by the most members. Choose your document.
3. Click Attach after you have chosen your file (otherwise). The site will show a bar indicating it is uploading the document. Once it is completed, it will show your attachment and the Display box will be checked.
4. Now you can finish your page by clicking Save at the bottom of the page and your child page and attachment should appear. You can also click Preview before you submit the page to see how it looks, but don’t forget to click SUBMIT to submit your page to the site.
