Sections Options in Output Styles
EndNote has always created a single bibliography at the end of your word processor documents. That is still true when you Cite While You Write in Pages, OpenOffice Writer documents, or format RTF files. However, EndNote includes additional output style options specifically for Microsoft Word.
You can choose to:
- Create a complete bibliography at the end of each document (the default setting for almost all of the supplied output styles).
- Create a bibliography for each section in the document (as defined in the styles APA 5th and 6th (sections)).
- Create a bibliography for each section and also a complete bibliography at the end of the document.
For more information about using sections in a Microsoft Word document, see Creating Multiple Bibliographies in a Single Document.
Note: The Sections portion of an output style is ignored by Pages, OpenOffice Writer, and when formatting RTF files.
Create a complete bibliography at the end of each document
This default setting formats a single bibliography at the end of a document. Even if you have broken the document into multiple sections, a single bibliography will appear at the end of the document.
Create a bibliography for each section in the document
When you select this option, a bibliography is created at the end of each section, and includes only the citations within a section.
An additional checkbox is available for sections: Continue numbering, or apply settings for disambiguation and repeated citations across sections.
- When the checkbox is blank:
- When a numbered bibliographic style is selected, citation numbering will be restarted at the beginning of each section.
- When a numbered bibliographic style is not selected, ambiguous citation settings will be restarted and applied to each section individually. For more information about ambiguous citation settings, see Ambiguous Citations.
- When the checkbox is selected:
- When a numbered style is selected, selecting the check box will assure that numbering is continued across sections. For example, if citations in the first section are numbered 1 to 10, citations in the next section will start with number 11.
- When a numbered style is not selected, ambiguous citation settings will apply across the entire document. For more information about ambiguous citation settings, see Ambiguous Citations.
- When Create a bibliography for each section and a complete bibliography at the end of the document is selected:
- This option creates a bibliography for each section as well as a complete bibliography of all the citations in the document.
- When a numbered style is selected, citation numbering continues sequentially across all sections, without restarting for each section.
- When a numbered style is not selected, ambiguous citation settings are applied across the entire document, without restarting for each section.
- If a document is not divided into sections, EndNote formats a single, complete bibliography at the end of the document.
