CWYW is great for footnotes/endnotes but I have a problem. It’s driving me crazy because I’m completing a book and have a looming deadline!! Help appreciated!
Footnotes/endnotes work beautifully and create an instant bibliography. However,
After each document in my anthology I have
SOURCE: [should be in footnote style Chicago]
RECOMMENDED READINGS: [should be in footnote/endnote style Chicago]
I’ve inserted the citations in the text but NOT IN A FOOTNOTE/ENDNOTE. They disappear or return to the simple bracket form (unformatted).
***1. Is there a way to get a citation in the text only (not in a footnote/endnote???).
- And still have them added to the bibliography?
At this point, I’m about to give up and just type all the hundreds of references. (I can’t find an Endnote Style to simply 'Copy Formatted Material" that isn’t Bibliography only – I need FOOTNOTE style! Aaaargh.
Help!
Under editing Chicago A style there are four general categories
Citations
Bibliography
Footnotes
Figures/Tables
The Citations is all blank. Is this what I need?
At another site, someone gave this advice but didn’t say HOW to insert info. into the blank Citations template for Chicago A. Why is it blank??
Thanks for the fast response!
Yes, I am looking for something like this:
"So, if you want the citation – (authorname, year pp CITED PAGES) information, to always appear in the body of the text. Edit the style to include
(Author Year|,*pp*Cited Pages|) where the * are inserted field, link adjacent, and the | are inserted field - forced separation."
The easiest way would be to copy the Footnote Template info. to the Citations Template but it won’t allow that.
Here’s the thing: When I try to edit Citations Template it has “Insert Field” but no “Insert Reference Types.” The templates for the other categories have Reference Types – an obvious “must” for someone creating a custom Citation in-text template. Was this an oversight by Endnote developers?
I know that Endnote (or someone) gathered people’s custom templates over the years. I developed one for Procite but made the move to Endnote when I thought version XI was good enough.
Any thoughts on the above? Thanks a million.
You need to EDIT the Chicago output style to include appropriate fields in the Citation Template.
-
Launch Endnote.
-
Click on EDIT (menu at top) and hover over OUTPUT STYLE.
-
Click on OPEN STYLE MANAGER.
4. Select the Chicago version you want to modify (A or B) and click on EDIT.
-
IMMEDIATELY save the output style with a new name - i.e. Chicago (Jonbean’s)
-
Click on TEMPLATES under “Citation”.
-
Click in the text book and insert left parenthesis.
8. Click on INSERT FIELD and click on the first field to include (e.g. AUTHOR). This field will be inserted in the text box.
9. Add whatever punctuation you need, such as commas, periods, and other fields.
10. Insert the right parenthesis.
When you are all done, save the style. Now use this style for inserting intext citations.
Emily,
I’ll give that a try but will it cover all reference types??
As for purposes – a review essay, for example, might discuss a number of recent books that deal with X topic: followed by a list in footnote style (not bib style). There are lots of other uses but that’s an obvious one.
Right now, I’ll think I’ll use Zotero, although it’s added work. I also use Zotero to keep a running list of material and then insert in Word in footnote style. (Endnote Web doesn’t work nearly as well and is limited to subscription sites).
Jon,
Once you have created the citation format in your modified output style, then take a look at the templates for Bibliography and Footnotes. You can copy/paste each of the reference type templates in Footnotes into the corresponding reference type in the Bibliography template (one at a time), replacing the existing Bibliography reference type formats. This will format your Bibliography that you need. Chicago 15 A has all major reference types defined in both Footnote and Bibliography - use their Footnote template as your starting point…
