EndNote

Chicago Notes-Bibliography style (Chicago 18th edition) uses footnotes throughout the text as well as a bibliography to present source information. It is well suited to deal with a wide variety of sources, and is the preferred style for students in the School of Art and Design, as well as some other areas of study at AUT.

This section focuses specifically on how to use EndNote to produce Chicago references. Use the other sections of this guide for general topics, such as creating an EndNote Library, or importing and organising references.

• For correctly formatted references the output style must be set to Chicago 18th Footnote.
• Choose Chicago 18th Footnote in the Output Style dropdown.
• If you can't see this style in the dropdown, choose Select Another Style.
• Scroll to find the style you need.
• Highlight, then click Choose.

Before inserting a Chicago note reference into your written work, you need to insert a footnote.

• Open your Word document and EndNote; check Chicago 18th Footnote is the selected output style in EndNote.
• In your document, position the cursor where you wish to insert a citation (after the punctuation if this is at the end of a sentence).
• On the Word ribbon, click References > Insert Footnote.
• A superscript number should appear where you placed the cursor.
• The cursor should now be positioned in an empty footnote that has appeared at the bottom of the page.

You can now add a reference from EndNote into the footnote. 

• Ensure your Word document and EndNote library are open and the style is the same in both.
• Open the EndNote tab on the Word ribbon, select Insert Citation.
• Enter identifying words from author, title, or keyword fields, click Find.
• Highlight the correct reference from your search results, click the Insert button drop-down and select Insert in Bibliography Only.

Sources accessed online that are not dated (usually webpages, but not pdfs or other documents hosted on webpages) must have an access date added to the record. This is the date that you viewed the item.

• Open the reference in EndNote and scroll down to the Access Date field (sometimes called Date Accessed).
• Add the date in Month Day, Year format.

For journal articles found online, there are several options for entering location information in EndNote.

• DOI (Digital Object Identifier): The unique alphanumeric sequence assigned by the journal publisher
• URL: The web address you obtained the article from
• Name of Database: The name of the library or commercial database you obtained the article from

Entering location information

• If there is a DOI listed with the article credits, enter it into the DOI field, copying and pasting if necessary
  
   
•  If there is no DOI and you found the journal article in a library or commercial database, enter the name of the database in the URL field (replace any URL already there)
  
   
• If there is no DOI, and the article is not from a library or commercial database, make sure the URL is in the URL field, copying and pasting if necessary
