Have a separate citation material type list for manually created citation
The full list contains 55 citation material types. If we disable some of them, then material type may show strange code like "READINGLISTCITATIONSECONDARYTYPES.REFERENCE_ENTRY" (assuming we have disabled the Reference Entry code).
But if we enable all of them, the list is too long for the Faculty to select when they create their own citation. Also Faculty do not have necessary knowledge to classify for each type. We expect it just a list of less than 10 items, say "Printed Books", "Printed Journal", "E-resources", etc.
In fact the citation type can be a very useful information in our workflow such that colleagues for printed materials and colleagues for electronic materials can pick and follow up their responsible citation. Currently the citation material type list cannot help on that, e.g. there is just one for "Journal", not separated for printed and electronic.
So we propose to
1. separate the full list for mapping all results from Search Citation function and the list for manual creation; and
2. we can customize the list for manual creation to fit our workflow
Thank you
