EndNote Online: Step 4: Create a Reference List

You can output your references by creating a reference list, then copying and pasting that list to the end of your work, complimenting your in-text citations. Alternatively, you can use the Cite While You Write (CWYW) plug-in with Microsoft Word to insert citations and build your reference list as you write.

Create a reference list

You can create a reference list which can be copied and pasted into your work in BU Harvard:

  • Select Format on the ribbon, and then choose Bibliography.
  • Select all your references or the group you want.
  • For Bibliographic Styles - the first time you do this go to favourites and find Harvard(Bourne U) - copy this to your favourites.
  • In File Format select RTF (Rich Text File) 
  • A reference list should show in a separate box - if not check your popup settings. You can now cut and paste your reference list into your work.
  • Always check the references that EndNote creates before submission. References are autogenerated from metadata that may be improperly coded. The official referencing style guidelines for Harvard(BourneU) are located here: BU Harvard instructions.
