University of Brighton Referencing Styles in EndNote Online

 

Different schools across the University of Brighton use different referencing conventions. Most schools use an Author-Date method of referencing but some, for example medical courses, may use a numbered system like Vancouver. You will need to check your module handbook to check which style you need to use.

In EndNote Online you can find a style by going to Format > Bibliography > Bibliographic style.

 

 

In Word you can adjust the Bibliographic Style in the Endnote tab.

Editing a Referencing Style in EndNote Desktop.

This video from the University of Michigan shows you how to edit a style so it exactly matches what you need. They use a slighty older version of EndNote in the video but the instructions are exactly the same for UoB members. Note this can only be done in the desktop version of EndNote not EndNote Online.
