I’ve long wondered how to format text using Endnote to create Chicago-style bibliographic citations at the end of a document in numbered format with superscript numbers in the text. The example I’m looking at is something like an article in Hastings Center Report style guidelines (e.g. Gambino, 2015) or “G-Man” by Beverly Gage. It’s so common in history books but doesn’t seem to be available as an output style under Chicago in Endnote.
Is this something where you have to output in another style, such as Numbered, and then edit it by hand to match Chicago/journal guidelines?
Thank you for the helpful response. I understand the difference between footnotes and endnotes, and how to create a footnote using Word and insert an *Endnote Program citation" into a footnote. I think what you are saying is that I need to select a Chicago style that uses endnotes and omit the bibliography. However, in my older Endnote Program (X9) I don’t see any Chicago endnote style option. I see the following option: Chicago 16th Author-Date, Chicago 16th Footnote, Chicago 17th Author-Date, Chicago 17th Footnote. Do I have to do something else to see the Chicago Endnote option?
<reading through your message again, I think what you are saying is that the Chicago “footnote” style format can be used for either endnotes or footnotes. However, when I select that option I just see the bibliography – I think possibly I can manipulate the settings to display endnotes with superscript numbers. However, when I try to edit the output style it says something like “this version doesn’t contain notes, select the Chicago 17th with notes.”>
It’s kind of baffling that the Endnote X9 (or any version) of the program can’t actually do Chicago-style endnotes. If I’m understanding you correctly, you have to use Word’s functionality to create endnotes by formatting the footnotes so they appear at the end of the document. Alternatively, you use a Numbered style and reformat the citations manually into superscript later?
I guess that is what I’m always struggling with. My instinct is to cite in the text and then have a program that then formats the notes as needed. It always seems so incredibly laborious to convert back and forth between a style based on footnotes in a word processing software and an in-text Author-Date format. Isn’t that what software is supposed to do, take out the heavy lifting?
