Valid Reference Formats for J-Link

J-Link is a technology developed by Justis Publishing for recognising a string of characters (which may or may not include numbers) as a reference to a document, and then locating the appropriate document in one of Justis Publishing’s databases and displaying it.

You can use it within the web version of Justis (with the Citation, Reference and Common Name fields on the Search In screens, or with the J-Link button on the Document screen) and within Justis 5 (with the Publication Reference button on the Quick Search tab on the Query screen, or with the J-Link button on the Document screen toolbar).
