CWYW stands for Cite While You Write, a plug-in from EndNote that connections your library of citations to Microsoft Word. and Google Docs. With CWYW you can add citations to your paper while simultaneously creating a bibliography,. You can easily change to another style if needed and you can update your in-text citations and references in one click.
First make sure that:
- all the references you would want to use for your paper or manuscript are already added to the EndNote Library
- open EndNote and Word to begin
Microsoft Word
Then there are two basic ways to insert citations.
Start from a Word document
- With EndNote installed on the same computer as Word, you should see an EndNote tab in your Word menus.

- To insert the citation(s) into your manuscript, make sure the cursor is at the appropriate place in the document.
- Click on Insert Citation from the EndNote menu.
- You will have to search your EndNote library to find the citation you want to add, select it, then Insert.
