Secondary references

If you want to add a secondary reference to a Word document in the format
(Smith 2004 in Brown 2008)
simply follow the steps below:

  • Insert the reference to Brown 2008 in the normal way
  • Click on the citation to highlight it and select the Edit Citations option from the EndNote toolbar
  • In the Prefix box add the text Smith 2004 in
    Click on OK

Your citation will now display in Word as
(Smith 2004 in Brown 2008)

Note: If you do not use Smith 2004 elsewhere in your document then you may need to add it to your list of references manually.

Tip: Working offline at home with EndNote

If you are working at home and don't want to be connected to the internet all the time you could write your assignment in Word and insert a temporary flag/note where you want a citation to appear. You can then go online later, to access your EndNote library through the Remote Desktop Connection, and work through your Word document inserting the citations from EndNote.

Creating a list of references without inserting citations

If you have already inserted citations into your assignment manually, you can still use EndNote to create a list of references at the end of your document. Simply follow the steps below:

  • Make sure that you can view your EndNote Library and Word on screen at the same time by resizing the windows.
  • Check that the correct output style is selected in EndNote.
  • Highlight the references that you want to include in your bibliography. (Use the Ctrl key to select multiple references.)
  • Hold down the Ctrl key and drag the references into your Word document.

Your bibliography will automatically be formatted using your chosen style.

Note: Select your references carefully as you cannot go back and add extra references without starting the whole process from scratch.

Chicago Style

If you are asked to use the Chicago style to format your references there are three different chicago styles in EndNote to choose from:

  • Chicago 15th A includes footnotes and a bibliography, but does not display in-text citations.
  • Chicago 15th B includes in-text citations, together with a formatted bibliography.
  • Chicago Review is the specific style for use with the journal Chicago Review.

The chances are you will need to use Chicago 15th A, but you need to check this with your tutor first.

Format citations in Word

If when you insert a citation into a Word document it displays in curly brackets
e.g. {Smith, 2001 #8}
it just means that the automatic formatting option has been turned off. To turn it back on simply follow the steps below:
  • From the EndNote toolbar in Word, click on the Format Bibliography icon (3rd from the left)
  • Select the Instant Formatting tab
  • Select the Turn On instant formatting option, then click OK.

Your citations should automatically format themselves and any further citations that you add will appear as normal.

Using EndNote with LaTeX

A number of people have been asking whether references from an EndNote library can be transferred into LaTeX. This is possible, providing the file is formatted in the BibTeX style. Details of how to use EndNote with LaTeX can be found in the FAQ section of the Library EndNote webpages (http://www.coventry.ac.uk/cu/d/293/a/3732).
