EndNote 20: Cite While Your Write

What is Cite While You Write?

  • Cite While you Write (CWYW) is a tool which connects your EndNote account to MS Word. 
  • It makes referencing easy, provided the reference fields in your EndNote library have been populated correctly. 
  • You can use CWYW to add in-text citations to assignments and research papers. 
  • As you add the in-text citations a corresponding reference will be created at the end of your document.
  • Any changes you make to a reference in your EndNote library will also update where that reference or in-text citation appears in your document
