Setting the output citation style

Select your citation style from the Output Style box.

There is more information about citation styles (referencing styles) in the Referencing guide. Familiarise yourself with the different elements of the citation style you are using so that you recognise when errors occur in EndNote.

If the citation style you require is not there it can be added.

  1. Click on Select Another Style and a dialog box will open 
  2. Scroll to the name of the style you require
  3. Click Choose.

You can choose more than one Reference Styles that populate the drop down Output Style box.

  1. Go to Edit > Output Styles > Open Style Manager
  2. Place a tick next to each of the styles you want to appear eg APA 6th, Harvard, Vancouver.
  3. Close the dialog box. These new styles will now all appear in the Output Style box.
