References Word
Mathilda Gibby
Word has its own, basic referencing system available via the 'References' tab on the ribbon. This lets you add references to a document and then create a bibliography at the end of the text. References are stored in a master list, which can be used to add references to further documents.
Microsoft don't seem to produce their own video on using this tool, so this one has been taken from YouTube. Although it isn't for the latest version of Word, it gives a clear explanation of the basics, which haven't changed.
The style of Reference page I would like to use is called IEEE. In the Citations and Bibliography section of the References tab, there is a menu for Style. If you select that, IEEE is one of the options.
NOTE: If you don't see the IEEE format as an option, you need to install it, as @Kesavan points out below. If the link he provided didn't work, go HERE, download styles.zip, unzip it, then copy all the .xsl files (each representing a different style) into the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\Bibliography\Style or equivalent on your machine.
ISO 690 is an ISO standard governing bibliographic references in different kinds of documents, including electronic documents. This international standard specifies the bibliographic elements that need to be included in references to published documents, and the order in which these elements should be stated.
Look in Insert -> Indexes and Tables -> Index and Table... then under type select Bibliography. You can then customise the options quite a lot. You can specify which fields are used for the entries in the Bibliography and in what order for the different types of bibliography entries that are pre-defined.
I had problems with two references that would not convert to the correct format in-text. I tried all sorts of ways to overcome it; deleting the record and remaking it (a number of times) either by using google scholar to create the record or by inputting the information my self, carefully looking at all the settings - nothing would make the in-text citations work despite a number of hours on these two citations. Since they were very important citations the only way around the problem was to convert to plain and then fix up the problem.
My preferred way is to actually use word tools to select the incorrect intext citation and format it as hidden text (cause then with my display settings I can still see it) and type exactly what I want to appear next to it.
This is in no way as simple as getting a list. As you can see, the names attached to the bookmarks are semi-random. In this case, the cross-references to the headings were made first and to the tables, second. No distinction is made between types of cross-reference or target in the name of the bookmark.
By going to each bookmark using the GoTo dialog, you could track which tables have been cross-referenced. (This will not, though, tell you that the cross-reference is still in the text, has not been deleted. To do that, you would need to check the REF fields for the bookmark.)
Manually add bookmarks to each Table Caption (i.e. naming the bookmarks Table01, Table02, etc.) and cross-reference to your bookmarks rather than to Tables. The bookmark is on the Caption, not the table. That way, you can see in the REF field that you have cross-referenced to a particular table, rather than a random number.
This is after hidden was unchecked in the bookmarks dialog. This does give you a non-printable list of all cross-references to the manually added Table bookmarks. If a cross-reference had been accidentally deleted, it would not show up in this list.
If you have a pattern, this can be quite easily achieved. For example, if the cross references always start with (see ...) then just press Ctrl-F and type "(see" in the search box. The list of matches is your table.
EndNote does not provide an automatic way to import references from a Word file into the application. However, it is possible to do using the following method. This method works best with journal articles, and requires you to use two additional services in addition to EndNote: Zotero and Crossref.
5. On the resulting screen, click the Zotero Connector plugin icon in your browser, next to the URL Address bar. It looks like a little folder. Click Select All. Click OK.
When I combined Chapter 1 with the Front Matter (table of contents, list of illustrations) for a book, all the footnote references were automatically changed. The style sheet associated with the document still has the correct formatting, but I have to highlight each footnote reference number manually and then change it to the footnote reference style (200 times!) When I first highlight the footnote reference, it goes to the outline style.
This is not the first time this has happened, but in previous times (with another volume), I used Ctrl Z, exited, and then did the add again. In one case, I had to start adding after the Heading 1, and then go back and put in the heading.
EndNote cannot directly import existing bibliographies that you typed in a Word document because it does not know how to break down the references into their component parts (author, year, title, etc).
b. Once you click on Export Word Citations tab, you will be prompted to select an EndNote library to export them into. Select an existing library or create a new library, then hit OK tab to make the export happen.
I'm trying to create tables with cross-references in Quarto that are rendered in MS Word
So far I get the best looking tables with flextable
However, I haven't managed to get the cross-references to work yet
You can use AnyStyle.io to create a BibTeX file that citation managers can use to bulk import citation data. Unfortunately, EndNote's BibTeX import filter does not work well, so importing the contents of your typed bibliography into EndNote may prove more difficult than it ought to be. Even so, you should be able to import your typed bibliography into EndNote.
If the above process doesn't work, you can still get your references into EndNote. One option for doing so is to import the BibTeX file generated using AnyStyle.io into Zotero (another reference manager), then to export the citations in a format that EndNote can more easily import. This process is described below.
If the references in Word was created using a Reference Manager tool like Zotero or Mendeley, the data is already in structured format and you can extract them using the free Reference Extractor tool with almost 100% accuracy.
However if the references were created manually by hand then you will need to use various tools to parse your plain-text bibliography or references into BibTex format that can then be imported to reference management software, Do note that these tools are not 100% accurate, depending on the citation style used.
The printed (and PDF) version of papers do not have full titles in the references, which makes the reference list much shorter than in the HTML version. In the end this makes a huge difference in the word count. If I include titles, the word count of just the references makes up more than 30% of the stated word limit. This doesn't seem very reasonable!
In general, I am finding it very hard to navigate the author guidelines. Can someone provide a link to where the word limit (and what counts towards it) is most clearly stated for this journal? In particular: do references count towards the word limit, and if they do, does that include the titles? What about counting things like formulas, which might contribute significantly if counted variable by variable, as a naive word processor would do?
If there's still any doubt in your mind, talk to the editor. Remember, you want the editor to treat you fairly, so treat them fairly, be polite, don't waste their time, and don't ask them things that are already explicit in the guide for authors.
While I mostly agree with the answer saying that you need to follow author guidelines carefully, my experience with submitting to these types of high-level journals is that there's a little bit of play in the requirements.
If the requirements give precise numbers of words, figures, references, then you need to be close to those numbers. In the first pass, the handling editor doesn't care enough about your paper to bother determining how many words an equation is going to count as. Their actual threshold is more like "Does this look like it's likely to be able to fit in an appropriate size after editing?" As such, it's less about exact counts and more about whether you force them to take notice of the difference between your document's size and their preferred size.
I'm converting a MS Word document into a LaTeX document. I have >100 references and would like to know the easiest way to convert all the inline citations from my MS Word document to my LaTeX document.
I've already generated by BibTeX library and can convert each citation individually by hand if necessary. Is there a way that I can convert all my MS Word inline citations to the \citeauthor,date LaTeX format so that when I copy and paste into LaTeX the citations are recognized automatically? Do you have any other suggestions?
I used a semi-automated approach. First, I had my referenced embedded in Word with Mendeley. You can sync your Mendeley library with Bibtex (Tools > Options > Bibtex). In my word document, I created a custom citation style which replaced each of the embedded citations with \cite[Last name of first author][year]. The default citation key in Mendeley is [Last name of first author][year], so Latex will recognize this as the proper citation. You will have to double check the citations if you have multiple papers from the same author in the same year, or if you have changed from the default citation key. In any case, this gets most of the work done for you.
A feature of EndNote 20 is the ability to categorise references in the Microsoft word bibliography. This allows for sub-headings to be included in bibliographies, as in the example below. This is useful for AGLC4 citation style, for example.
