EndNote

TPCH Library subject guide with information about using EndNote, including training opportunities and online resources.

Cite While You Write

Cite While You Write (also known as CWYW) is a key feature of EndNote. It allows you to access EndNote from within Microsoft Word to insert citations into the text of your Word documents. CWYW automatically builds a bibliography from the citations you insert.

Note that you should install EndNote after you install Microsoft Word. When you install EndNote, an EndNote menu is added to the top toolbar. This menu will not appear if you install Word after EndNote.

There are times when you need to use an organisation's acronym as part of the in-text citation, while still displaying the full name in the bibliography (e.g. World Health Organization [WHO])

The following link will take you to Federation University Libguide instructions on how to use acronyms in citations (TPCH Library recommends the 'Fix it as you write' method).

Removing Endote field codes from Word

If you intend to submit your paper for publication, it’s advisable to remove the EndNote field codes from the document, as these are likely to interfere with the software used by the publisher.  It's also a good idea even if you're just giving it to a colleague or supervisor for a bit of editing.

To remove field codes, click on Convert Citations and Bibliography (in the Bibliography group on the EndNote tab of the ribbon in Word 2007+) and select Convert to Plain Text.

The following message will be displayed:

Click OK, and a copy of your original document, minus the EndNote field codes, will appear in a new unsaved document window.  Save this copy under a different file name.  This is the copy you should submit to the publisher, or anyone else who may be reviewing or editing your work for you.

Retain the original copy, which still contains the field codes, in case you need to make any modifications to it at a later stage.
