Creating Multiple Bibliographies in a Single Document

By default, EndNote creates a single bibliography at the end of each of your Word documents. However, you may want to create a separate bibliography for each section (or chapter) in your document. Output style options are available so that you can choose to:

Note: These options are ignored by versions of EndNote prior to version .

In Microsoft Word, break your document into sections

EndNote can format each section individually. You may want to break each chapter into its own section.  In the case of a master document, subdocuments are treated as sections.

From the Page Layout tab, click on Breaks, and then select one of the four options under Section Breaks: ext Page, Continuous, Even Page, or Odd Page.

Modify the output style as needed

If you want to use a predefined style that formats sections, try APA 5th (sections) or Chicago 15th B (sections). These styles are already defined to format a bibliography for each section, and do not require modification.

Otherwise, we recommend that you start by copying an existing output style and giving it a unique name. This leaves the original style intact. See Copying Styles.

Next, click on the Sections panel in the output style. This is where you select the appropriate option for creating a single bibliography from all sections, a separate bibliography for each section individually, or both. For a complete description of the formatting options for Microsoft Word sections, see Sections.

Save your changes and close the output style.

Format your Word document with the new output style

Format your bibliography as you normally would, but make sure you first select the new output style that you created. See Formatting the Bibliography and/or Changing Bibliography in Word.

Again, you can use the predefined styles APA 5th (sections) or Chicago 15th B (sections). These styles are already defined to format a bibliography for each section.
