Creating an EndNote Account and Making a Bibliography for Criminal Justice Topics

• If you would like to use an automated citation generator, EndNote Basic is the most efficient. 
• Unlike EasyBib or Citation Machine, it does not have a cluttered interface. 
  • EndNote does not require you to wait through tedious advertisements to view your formatted reference list.
• The following example shows what to do with citations once they have been imported into EndNote.

Go to the EndNote web site:

Register and Log in:

Once you log in, you will see your "References":

Step Two:

Create a new group "Recividism."

Click the tab "Organize" and select "Manage My Groups" in the drop down:

• Click on "Organize" and "Manage My Groups" 

Click "Create New Group":
 

Step Three: Move the citations you want to move to the Recividism group.

• In this example, we will move our citations to the "Recividism" group.
• Click the "Recividism" group name and click "GO."

Go to "Format" in the ribbon above your references.

• Click "Bibliography."

Enter data in the drop down boxes that open.

• Select the references you would like included in the bibliography. In our example, we are working with the entire "Recividism" file.
• Select "APA" format.
• Because we are using the free EndNote application, APA 7 is not available. 
• Select either "text" or "rich text format" for the bibliography output. Both of these will open in Word or other document processing programs.
• When you are done, click "Save," "Email," or "Preview."

This is what "Save" produces:
