Before you add citations to your MS Word document (desktop app version), we recommend that you set your referencing style:
Note: if you change the style at any time, any references already in the document will be instantly re-formatted to the newly selected style.
While you are writing your MS Word document (desktop app version),
The citation will appear in your text and the reference will be displayed at the end of your document.
Once you have added a citation to your document using EndNote Online, you need to use the 'Edit Citations' options to make any amendments.
To edit a citation:
Changing the format to make the author's name part of your sentence?
Adding page numbers or other details to the citation?
Amending the author or year details?
When you have two or more sources to support the same point,
The two citations should now be linked, e.g. (Shea and Derry, 2019; Ahmad, Shoaib and Shaukat, 2021)
Yes of course. However, please use the menu for this or your document will be corrupted:
The references for your document are compiled automatically into a list as you add your citations. The formatting will reflect the selected referencing style. However, you can make some amendments to the display:
From the EndNote tab, select the 'Configure bibliography' option - the small arrow at the bottom of this section.
A pop-up window will display. Select the 'Layout' tab.
Add a title for your reference page, if desired, e.g. References
Format this title as relevant, e.g. centred.
Amend the font, size and line spacing to suit the requirements of your referencing style. For example,
APA requires double spacing within and between references.
Harvard-style references can be easier to read if there is a line between entries.
Select OK to confirm the changes.
If you have made multiple changes to the citations in your document during a writing session, we recommend clicking the 'Update citations and bibliography' before you close.
This ensures that your document displays the most recent reference information.
EndNote automatically assigns the 'Journal Article' reference type to imported journal articles. This is ideal in most cases, when the article has meaningful page numbers and also appears in print.
However, this is problematic when referencing journal articles that are only available electronically. In this case, the URL or DOI should be included in the reference when using the Cite Them Right Harvard style.
When you have an article that only appears electronically, please amend the Reference Type.
Ensure 'Reference Type' = 'Electronic Article'.
