Creating a standalone reference list / bibliography
You can drag references from an EndNote Library window directly into your paper. Have EndNote and a Word document open – preferably so that you can see both on your screen at the same time. This type of reference list has no EndNote code embedded.
To drag your bibliography:
- Select the desired references in your EndNote Library (see *Keyboard functions below to make selection easier). Make sure the ones you need to create your reference list with are highlighted.
- Check that the referencing style in the Bibliographic Output Style window in your EndNote Library is the one you wish to use to format your reference list.
- Hold down the Ctrl key (or Cmd for Mac) on your keyboard as you drag the references from the library and drop them directly onto the Word document.
*Keyboard functions
- to choose selected individual references you wish to include, use Ctrl+click (Windows) or Cmd+click (Mac)
- to choose a list of references that occur one after another, click on the top item, then use Shift+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Cmd (Mac) to select the final item in the list. All items should be highlighted
- you may have all the references you need saved in a Group (folder), to select all use Ctrl+A or Cmd+A
