Annotated Bibliographies: A short guide

You can use the Bibliography function in EndNote (Desktop 20/Online or Desktop 21/Web) to create a standalone bibliography. However, if you wish to create an annotated bibliography, extra steps may be involved.

For instructions on how to create a standalone bibliography using EndNote, enrol on the Introduction to EndNote 21 Canvas course and go to the 'Editing and creating bibliographies' section under Unit 4. 

Using APA

If you have been asked to create your bibliography in APA Style you can add your annotations in the Research Notes field and select 'APA 6th-Annotated' or 'APA 7th-Annotated' from the list of styles.

Using other styles

Not all styles offer an annotated version. In these cases, you should:

• Add your annotations into the Research Notes field.
• Create the standalone bibliography in Word using the style of your choice.
• Cut and past the annotations from each research notes field in EndNote 21 into the appropriate place in the bibliography in Word.
