+<p>You can continue to manually enter a study if you wish. However, instead of manually
+entering reference information, we recommend importing the reference from PubMed or HERO
+using one of these approaches instead:</p>
+<ul>
+    <li><a href="{% url 'study:create_from_identifier' assessment.pk %}" class="alert-link">Create  Study From Identifier</a> - for a single reference</li>
+    <li><a href="{% url 'lit:import_new' assessment.pk %}" class="alert-link">New Literature Import</a> - for multiple references simultaneously</li>
+</ul>
+<p>This requires less work, and ensures that we have links to the reference throughout your assessment.</p>
