EndNote 21 for Mac

You can use CWYW for Google Docs when inserting citations from:

• Your synced Endnote library

Multiple collaborators can add citations from their own synced libraries, unlike in Word desktop.

Limitations:

• You cannot add citations from other, unsynced libraries saved on your computer or from libraries and groups shared with you via Endnote Web/Online.
• You cannot copy/cut and paste text containing a citation and paste it elsewhere in the document. Doing so will break the involved citation. Instead, you will need to delete the affected in-text citation and insert a new citation.

Download and Install Endnote CWYW for Google Docs

Note: For footnote style citations, you will need to follow different instructions, linked below. For all other citations styles, continue to the steps below.

1. If Google CWYW is not already running, go to Extensions, Endnote Cite While You Write, and click Open. Log in if prompted. 
2. Select the desired citation style in the Cite While You Write box:
   1. Click the vertical ellipsis (three dots in a vertical line), in the upper right corner.
   2. Click Citation style, then select the appropriate style from the list. 
3. Place the cursor where you wish to insert a citation.
4. Search for the desired reference(s) using the search bar, browse all references, or click All References to select a group to browse. 
5. Click the checkbox next to each desired reference.
6. Click Insert Citation. 

The "Cite While You Write" feature in EndNote does two things as you insert citations in your document: 

• In-text citations will be formatted into the output style you last used.
• An ongoing bibliography will be created in the same style.

If the document does not automatically format new citations as you add them, you can click Update Citations.

Unlike Microsoft Word, CWYW for Google Docs does not allow you to move content containing in-text citations in your document.  If you move text containing an in-text citation to another part of your paper, the in-text citation will no longer function appropriately. You will need to delete the citation, then re-insert it.

There are two types of citation in your paper: an in-text citation and a bibliography citation. Deleting a citation manually from the text or bibliography will not remove it permanently - the next time the paper is formatted, the citation will return. 

• In Google Docs:
  • Click Manage citations in the Cite While Your Write window.
  • Click the pencil icon next to the desired citation.
  • Click the trash can icon to delete the entire citation. If the citation includes several references, and you only wish to remove some of them, click the X next to each reference you want to delete.
  • Click Save.

• Once you have inserted citations into your paper, you may at any time format or re-format your bibliography. 
• Go to the CWYW box, click on the vertical ellipsis (three dots in a vertical line), click Citation style, then select the appropriate style* from the list.
• If the bibliography and citations do not automatically update, click Update Citations.

Collaborators can add citations from different libraries to a shared Google document. 

Please note, however, that adding citations from separate libraries poses an issue. Should you reorder content containing in-text citations, you will need to re-insert the affected citations (see Reordering Citations in Your Paper, above). If the citation was added from someone else's library, they will need to re-insert it, or you will need to add the reference to your own library in order to re-insert it.
