EndNote

When you install EndNote a toolbar will appear in Word with the commands you need to put references in your work. This video shows how to use it. Section 9 of our workbook also looks at working with Word.

Endnote styles control how your references look in Word. A large number are available for EndNote, many of them for specific journals. They can use author date, numbered or footnote formatting. To preview a style: 

• choose Output styles from the Edit menu
• select Open Style Manager.
• Select Style preview to see how references would appear in the selected style

Additional styles are available from the EndNote download styles site. If you find one you want to use simply download and open it then use Save As to save it into your own copy of EndNote.

Creating footnotes:

• Footnotes have to be created in Word (References tab then Insert footnote button). Only certain EndNote styles will allow the creation of footnotes.
• Put your cursor in the footnote area created by Word and insert a reference as usual using Tools - EndNote - Insert Selected Citation (or Find Citation).
• EndNote will then format the citation in an appropriate footnote style.

The formatting of numbers in your text is created by Word, not EndNote. If you want a number to appear as superscript select it, then choose Font from the Format menu. Click the box next to Superscript

The university has adopted 4 main styles for undergraduates - APA (an author date or Harvard type style), MHRA (a footnote style for humanities), Vancouver (a numbered style) and Oscola (a legal style). Some departments may also recommend these for postgraduates. The Oscola file can be downloaded from Oxford Law faculty. but due to the nature of legal citation can be more difficult to use with EndNote than other styles.

To use the Swansea files download and open them then use Save As to save them into your own copy of EndNote.
