Cite While You Write (CWYW)
• Insert citations in Word and build your reference lists automatically.
• Place references at the end of your papers, or after each section/chapter.
• Edit and manage the format of your citations in Word.
• Change output styles at the click of a mouse.
• Convert to plain text for uploading/submitting to programs such as Turnitin, My Courses, etc.
Enable CWYW when installing EndNote:
• Install after Word to enable CWYW:
• Do this when updating to new versions of Office or when moving files and software to a new computer.
• If EndNote tab doesn’t appear, go to “Options” (under File) and “Add-Ins” and be sure the EndNote CWYW features are active.
Bibliographic Output Styles
• Standard styles plus those from publishers.
• Reference types help fill the fields in the style templates.
• New reference types are updated and added periodically (press release, podcast, interview, etc.).
Inserting citations
• Citations can be inserted in the parenthetical author/year format, numbered format, or modified parenthetical.
• The type of citation inserted will depend on the bibliographic output style selected.
Inserting a modified citation:
• E.g., “Breen and Maassen (2005) found that students were concerned about acknowledging properly…”
• In this example, we just need to insert the year in the text…
• …BUT have the full reference listed in the bibliography.
Editing citations
• Since the appearance of citations and references in the text are set by the style templates in EndNote, any changes made in EndNote citations in Word will not be saved.
• To make an edit to an individual citation, use the “Edit and Manage Citations” option.
Editing Output Styles
• To modify all of your citations, you can go to “Edit Output Styles” and modify the rules of a selected style.
• Note: you can’t change the initial style, but make a COPY of the modified version.
Troubleshooting
• EndNote Support FAQs can answer most questions.
• Problems can arise dues to
• Old import filters
• Web browser conflict
• Browser plug-ins
• New versions of Windows and Word
• Sometimes a reboot is all it takes!
