Week 9: Referencing & Copyright

The EndNote reference types tutorial also provides information about the structure of various reference types.

EndNote Tips

The EndNote data entry tutorial provides tips about how to enter data into your Endnote library. More data entry tips available at Quikbib Output style instructions.

We recommend you use the following resource types to enter your data into Endnote.

• • Book section: For a refereed conference paper as it will allow you to add editors (if any) and format the conference proceeding name in italics - this example shows a conference paper with editors and this example shows a conference paper without editors. Simply open your existing Endnote reference and select the Book section type instead of the Conference proceedings type.

  • Web page: For web pages, websites, images, videos and podcasts.

  • Note: It is essential when referencing items from the Internet to include the URL. Therefore for this unit we recommend you use the web page resource type for videos, podcasts or images. You will need to type [Video file] or other media type in square brackets at the end of the title and the title will NOT be displayed in italic.

The EndNote reference types tutorial explains each of the above resource types.

Word citing tips

Make sure you have the Reference style in your Word document set to APA 6th version.

When inserting in-text references in your Word document make sure you press the "space bar" on your keyboard before you enter your EndNote reference so that the reference does not join onto the previous word.

The most commonly used in-text references are to display both author and date, however, you can also display, just the date or the author name depending on how you have written your summary. And you may also want to add page numbers if you use quotes.

The EndNote citing in Word tutorial explains how to display and edit references in the above formats.
