Styles - Check instructions to authors

Before you start working on an article or book you should take a look at the "Instructions to authors" from the publisher. Every publisher should have information on the criteria for citations and references. Please contact the library if you need help to find this information or need help to create or modify an output style.

Modifying an output style

If the referencing style you need to use is not available in EndNote or from the additional EndNote Output Styles website,  you can create a style that matches your criteria by creating a new style or editing an existing one.

To do this:

  • Select Tools > Output Styles -> Open Style Manager and select the style that you would like to edit.
  • Before editing the style, create a copy and work from the copied file. Select File > Save as and rename the copied file.
  • In the style editing window, use the options on the left to edit your style. For example, select Templates under the 'Bibliography' heading to edit how the reference will appear in your bibliography/reference list.
  • Once the style has been altered and saved it will appear in your list of styles. To select the new style in EndNote or Microsoft Word choose Select Another Style... from the 'Styles' drop-down menus.
