Endnotes are a method of documenting sources for a paper with the following characteristics: For instance:

To write endnotes for a document:

  1. Prepare the word processing document, inserting Access Keys at the citation positions in the text.
  2. Click Generate, Citations for document. The Generate Citations dialog will display.
  3. Click the option for Endnotes, and set the options for multiple citation separators and delimiters.
  4. Set the Publishing style for the endnotes and, if appropriate, the Reference List (sometimes called a list of works cited). See the Examples below.
  5. Click OK to write the endnotes for your document.
Citation replaces the Access keys in the document with endnotes. If you have clicked the option to write a Reference List, Citation also writes a Reference List for the works cited in the document.

Examples
For AIP endnotes, with no reference list, set the dialog as illustrated here:

For MLA endnotes, with an alphabetized reference list (list of works cited), set the dialog as illustrated here:

For your citations, locate the endnote style required by your instructor or publisher in the Publishing Style menu.

Note
Most endnote styles require that the endnote contain pinpoint references to the specific pages in the source work containing the cited material. To include specific page references for your endnotes, enter the specific page reference in your Access Key, preceded by a space and a colon, like this:

{Robinson 1972: 217}
Citation will include the specific page reference in your footnotes, and include the inclusive pages (if any) in the bibliographic citation.
