Referencing styles refer to the rules for how to write out references; what information to include and the order to write it in.

The Endnote software installation comes with a large number of pre-loaded referencing style files. The referencing style files pre-loaded into Endnote are what helps to automate the creation of individual references within Endnote and in MS Word. 

However, three of the referencing styles we use here at UWA are not pre-loaded and so if you are required to use these you will need to download and install them.  These are: 

• AGLC4 referencing style
• APA7 referencing style 
• Vancouver (based on Citing Medicine) 

Follow the links to these Referencing guides for information about how to download these referencing styles and get them into your Endnote.  

If you have successfully installed your Endnote desktop software, you will find that your version of MS Word now includes an EndNote tab. 

This is the main way in which you will later insert references into your documents as you work and toggle from MS Word to your Endnote Library. 

After you have successfully installed Endnote open a Word file and check for the Endnote tab.  Contact us to troubleshoot if it is not there.
