EndNote EndNote How To
1

hey everyone,

I change something on my endnote and whenever i’m tring to cite an article, the citation appears as:

*name, year #number}

and there’s no bibliography.

does anyone have an idea how can i change it back to the regular format: [number] + a bibliography at the end of the document?

thanks!

Hi!

Have you tried clicking on “Update Citations and Bibliography” and Checked that instant formatting is turned on? See attched picture.

the “instat formatting” is on and clicking on “update citation and bibliography” doesn’t seem to have an effect.

Try this.

If on a Windows version, in Word, click on the little arrow symbol on the bottom edge of the EndNote ribbon. Check that the delimiters are set to { and }, click ‘OK’. Then try ‘Update Citations and Bibliography’.

If on a Mac, in Word, look in ‘Configure Bibliography’, on the ‘Format Bibliography’ tab please check that the delimiters are set to { and }. Then click ‘OK’ to leave the dialogue box. Then try ‘Update Citations and Bibliography’.

Regards, Bob.

Are you on Mac or Windows?

You say it looks like this:- {name, year number#}. Are you sure it is not this:- {name, year #number}?

What style are you using?

Regards, Bob.
