How to use endnote uq Videos

Hi +Tony Cearns - I'm not sure quite what you mean by 'import citations'. As for being able to edit the citations in Word - no, you won't be able to. This doesn't replace Cite While You Write, all EndNote is doing is replacing the tokens inside the {}s with what the style's sequential rules say, and inserting the reference list as text. That's good, because it' s less to go wrong with field codes.As for if it is easier to just import citations, I think you are asking if it is easier to just type the citation, keep a list of what you have used, and then import the reference list at the end? Certainly, that is very do-able and quite easy (in fact, you could cut Word out of the mix completely). However, one of the things that EndNote does for you is that you can write use APA 6th, and then quickly switch to Harvard style or Chicago style or whatever. I also found that with my thesis keeping track of every paper I cited was not easy. If it's a small paper then, yes, pretty easy. But following all the rules for in-text citation (e.g. the second citation of a 5-author paper) can be a bit confusing and difficult to keep right if the paper takes a long time to write. That said, I have to admit I ended up moving back to Word 2011 for my thesis, though not using CWYW. I don't mind using EndNote formatting in Scrivener in the way it is done in the video, but tables and pagination and general formatting were just too difficult with Scrivener doing academic research (my discipline uses a lot of tables) and the tables did not convert well (some use InDesign for the tables). The new version of Word (Word 2016) though has no CWYW, so that's b0rked - and the only method available to the EndNote user is the approach used here (the actual EndNote fix is to do it the way this video shows, or to use Word 2016 to write everything, then open in Word 2011 to use CWYW to transform the tokens into a reference list). For a small paper - doing it manually is definitely easier (I'd write it in-text and keep an EndNote group for that paper, then copy the reference list across - but I'd have to be pretty diligent as I edited it to keep the list up to date). For a thesis, if you are using Scrivener (and can survive the difficulties with formatting and tables), then the way set out in this video remains a reasonable option, though not without its finickiness. Scrivener is meant to be a drafting tool, and you then use Word to format it. I just found that you reached a point fairly early in the drafting stage that needed it to 'look right'.

Glad I could help.  This video is four years old now but really I think most of the software works exactly the same way.  In the end I wrote my dissertation using Word, mainly because I found tables a real problem, but I still think Scrivener has a lot to offer. 

No worries Tracy.  Glad it was of help, even though this video is getting on a bit these days.

Looks like you're walking from the PUB!
