Creating One Bibliography from Several Papers

EndNote can format a series of separate word processing documents and put a cumulative bibliography at the end of the last one. This is useful if you are collaborating with other EndNote users and you have each written a separate part of the paper or if you have separated a lengthy paper into different chapters.

To create one bibliography from several papers:

  1. From the Tools menu, select Format Paper > Format Paper to open and scan the first paper.
  2. A Scan Next button appears in the Citations dialog (see The Citations Dialog for Format Paper). Click Scan Next in the dialog to open each of the subsequent papers in the correct order. Each paper’s citations will be added to the list of citations in the Citations dialog.
  3. When the last paper has been scanned, select an output style in the Citations dialog and click Format.

During the formatting process, EndNote makes a formatted copy of each paper and puts a cumulative bibliography at the end of the last paper. Only the last paper in the series will include the bibliography. By default, each formatted paper retains its original name with the style name incorporated into it; however, you have the option to change the names.
