# Creating a publication entry

## Creating publication entries allows you to document key research materials and organize bibliographic details. Follow this tutorial to learn how to create and manage publication entries.

Publications are a crucial component of research for your catalogue raisonné. You can link them to artworks to complete their bibliographic records and document sources that provide valuable information for your research. By creating and managing publications on the Navigating.art platform, you centralize all relevant research materials, streamlining your work and ensuring comprehensive documentation.
