You can also use the control key to select more than one reference to cite at one time. Click on the reference you want to cite, and then click the Insert button. In the Find field, you can search for the citation to add by any word in the reference or search for * and all references in your EndNote library will be listed. For assistance with editing the output style, contact a Research Librarian.EndNote can add citations in Word almost automatically and also change from one citation style to another.Īfter you've added references to your EndNote library, to cite them in Word, one recommended way is to go to Word, open a document, then click on the EndNote ribbon in Word, then click the magnifying glass icon at the left of the ribbon. If you are writing a thesis, larger document, or use this particular type of citation format frequently, the output style can be edited to format your citations in whatever manner you need. The new document will contain your citations and bibliography, but is no longer connected to your EndNote library.In the EndNote toolbar of your document, click Convert Citations and Bibliography > Convert to Plain Text.

If you are writing a single assignment or there are only a few incorrect citations, converting to Plain text is simpler, but note you will not be able to reconnect your document to your EndNote library once it has been converted.

If the citation is still incorrect, you will need to either edit it manually by converting to Plain text, or edit the output style. If EndNote is not formatting your citation correctly, first check that the correct 'Reference Type' for the record is selected in EndNote. All instances of the reference you changed have now been updated.From your document, click 'Update Citations and bibliography' from the EndNote toolbar.

Correct the reference in EndNote, click away from that record and confirm that you want to save your changes.
