Two bibliographies in one document and I don't know why

Hi,

I’ve been working on a thesis for a couple of years and therefore using different documents and different computers. I’ve used Endnote previously and thought it would be the best way of keeping track of the references, which it has been up to now. Unfortunately on adding some final references I now find that when I update them to the stly I want, half of the bibliography appears in the middle of the document, and half (the ones I’ve just added) appear at the end (which is where I’d like them all to appear. I’ve tried to look to see if there are any page/section break issues but I don’t think that’s the problem. Does anyone have any ideas for a fix?

Thanks!

Hi Leanne,

Thanks so much for your detailed reply. I am using Endnote version X7 (not online).

Both bibliographies are an Endnote generated field and when I unformat the citations both bibliographies disappear and all citations are visible in curly brackets. The fact that they all look the same is what is particularly confusing :frowning:

I’m not sure if this is a clue but in the Endnote library, most of the entries are in bold but some are not. I don’t think tis has any bearing on which ones appear in which biblioraphy though.

Thanks for the offer of support. Unless you have any additional things I can try I’ll get in touch with tech support as suggested.

Thanks!

So despite all of the previous, when I try to convert to plain text it gives an error message… ‘There are no Endnote field codes in this document’

I’m really confused now…

I was trying to use ‘Harvard Manchester’ as a style…

Thanks

So I think it’s something to do with the style I’ve been using. When I use numbered references or APA 6th, although that doesn’t give me what I want in terms of bibliography style, it does seem to put everything in one place. So I guess I need to work on the style somehow. Thanks for your help Leanne

Hi Leanne,

Yes - this is exactly the conclusion that I have come to. Unfortunately when I try to edit the style and change it to ‘create a complete bibliography at the end of the document’ it just doesn’t seem to want to save. I’m using a universtiy computer so perhaps they don’t want us to edit the styles or something. I’ll speak to a member of staff here to see if there’s anything I can do. Thanks for all your advice, it’s been really helpful.
