Output styles
In EndNote, Output Styles are templates that determine how references and bibliographies are displayed in your documents.
They control, among other things:
In-text citation style – How citations appear within the text (e.g., (Smith, 2020) or [1]).
Bibliography formatting – How the reference list at the end of your document is formatted (order, punctuation, capitalization, italics, etc.).
Specific publication styles – Often tailored to the requirements of journals, universities, or academic fields (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago, Vancouver).
In short, Output Styles ensure that your references are automatically formatted according to the desired style, so you do not have to format them manually.
Bibliographical styles determine how references are presented in an article. Different scientific disciplines and publishers often demand specific output styles. Many styles are integrated with the installation of EndNote. By using EndNote you can easily switch from one bibliographical style (output styles) to another (for instance from APA to MLA or Vancouver).
You can select your output style after inserting your references, or during the process.
Change your Style in Word in the top bar under the EndNote tab:
