Whilst you are typing a paper in Word, you can select the references from your EndNote library that you wish to cite and transfer them straight into your document as in-text citations without switching to EndNote.
An in-text citation will usually be in the Author-Date format, for example: (Baker, 2005). A full reference to the work cited will also appear in the bibliography at the end of the document.
If you wish to add multiple citations at the same point in the text, for example to compare different theorists, then you should add these at the same time. This could then read as:
(Baker, 2005; Scudamore, 2004 and Grey, 2005 disagree on this point)
To insert multiple citations in a Word document (and make a full reference to them in the bibliography at the end)
-
Make sure the Endnote library you wish to use is open
-
Open your Word document and place the cursor at the first point in the text where you want a citation.
-
From the Endnote ribbon, select the Find Citation(s) icon - it appears as a magnifying glass
-
The EndNote Find Citations box will open
-
In the Search for box enter the authors of the work you wish to cite, or a keyword from the titles. Matching references will be displayed
-
Select the references required - you can select multiple references by holding the ctrl key down as you click on the required titles
-
Click on Insert. The citations will be inserted in the text and a bibliography started at the end of the document-according to the style you have selected.
If you have already entered one citation but wish to add an adjacent citation at a later date it is recommended that you remove the first citation| and then re-enter it and your second citation using the method above. This may seem tedious but it will ensure that your references will display correctly - otherwise Word may read the Endnote information incorrectly and this can cause Word to shift all your citations up or down one place in the text.
