Adding new Bibliographic styles

Can't find the bibliographic style you want?

Endnote X4 is now supplied with over 4500 bibliographic styles but has been installed with the standard 264.  If the style you require is not listed then you can add it using a number of methods using the instructions below: 

If you cannot find one to match your preferences then you can edit a style to reflect your requirements|.

1. Create a styles folder

• Navigate to your H space (Documents) and open up your Endnote X4 folder
• Choose File/New to create a new folder called Styles in your Endnote X4 Folder 

2. Downloading or locating your style

To be able to edit styles you can either download them from the Endnote website, copy them from Central Server, Server W to your H:space or save them from Endnote.  The instructions for each method are described below:

• Go to www.endnote.com/support and select the output styles option under the Download heading on the left hand side of the page
• Search for the style you require and click download.  This will download to your downloads folder in your H:Space (Documents)
• Enter this folder, right click and copy the style
• Go to your EndnoteX4 styles folder, right click and paste the style into the folder

                                                                              or

• Navigate to W-Library-Endnote X101-Styles and select your style e.g. APA 5th.ens. Copy and paste this to your new Styles folder in your H space

                                                                               or

• In Endnote apply your usual style to your library. Then choose Edit-Output styles-Edit "name of style" and your style will open.
• Do not edit the style at this stage. Choose File-Save As to save your style to your new Styles folder in your H space

Because of a change to how files are accessed on campus for EndNote X4, you must use the styles in the X101 folder, but these can be copied to your X4 folder 

3.  Redirect Endnote to your styles folder

Endnote defaults to H/Endnote/Styles, so you must redirect it to the styles folder in your Endnote X4 folder

1. In Endnote choose Edit/Preferences/Folder Locations
2. Click on the Select Folder button next to the Styles Folder option and navigate to where you have saved your style.
3. The file path should now read e.g. H\EndnoteX4\Styles
4. Click on Apply and OK
5. Use the 'Select Another Style' option to choose your style
