As an academic researcher it saves a lot of time to use a bibliography database to automatically output citations in the correct format. Although Pages and Word have direct plug-in capability and is easy to use, often I find myself working in a text editor such as Ulysses III.
Currently I am using Endnote X6, however, it is likely other bibliography databases that have a scan paper function will work as well. To insert citations into Ulysses III so that Endnote will recognize them follow the format guides below.
Steps for generating bibliography with Endnote
- Save finished paper as Word .rtf
- Open up Endnote, and select Tools > Format Paper. Navigate to the saved file and Endnote will scan the paper and generate a new .rtf file with a bibliography in your chosen Endnote style.
Formatting guide for inserting citations into Ulysses III:
Copy each desired reference within Endnote and then \ Paste reference within Ulysses III. To avoid using the backslash you can also modify {} as a markup symbol
For author and date:
\{Hurst, 2002 #1796}
Results example:
(Hurst 2002)
For multiple citations:
\{Hurst, 2002 #1796}\{Hurst, 2010 #1636}
\{Hurst, 2010 #1636}\{Johnson, 2011 #739}
Results example:
(Hurst 2002, 2010)
(Hurst 2010; Johnson et al., 2011)
Add prefix to citation:
\{e.g.,\Hurst, 2010 #1636}
Results example:
(e.g., Hurst 2010)
Note: To get the prefix citation to work you must add the backslash within the RTF document prior to Endnote scanning. Ulysses removes \ on export to RTF.
Add page numbers:
\{Hurst, 2010 #1636:23-30}
Results example:
(e.g., Hurst, 2010:23-30)
Year only:
Hurst states \{, 2010 #1636} the following
Results example:
Hurst states (2010) the following
