What is EndNote Cite While you Write

EndNote's Cite While You Write (CWYW) feature allows you to insert citations from your EndNote library directly into a word document while a bibliography of the selected citations is automatically generated at the end of the document. Using EndNote's Cite While You Write function can save you hours of formatting and editing your citations and bibliography.

Cite While You Write:
  • Ensures the proper reference and bibliography format is followed for the selected citation style
  • Automatically re-formats the references and bibliography of a paper if a new citation style is selected
  • Automatically updates reference numbering and bibliography order as the document is edited and references are added, removed, or re-ordered.
  • EndNote CWYW is compatible with: Microsoft Word & PowerPoint 2016, Office 365, Word for Mac 2016, Apple Pages, and OpenOffice.org Writer.
