Styles in EndNote

A reference style is a standardized way to refer to sources in a text or bibliography. When you install EndNote, many different styles are available to you. If you are writing in Norwegian, you should use a Norwegian language reference style. These are not installed automatically in EndNote. VID recommends that you use the following Norwegian styles:

• Norsk APA referansestil, bokmål & nynorsk
• Chicago 16th Author-Date, norsk

The Citation Compass gives you tips on how you use various sources in EndNote.

EndNote Online

EndNote Online is the web-based version of EndNote. The desktop version is the one preferred by most, but EndNote Online synchronized with EndNote Desktop offers the possibility of working on several different computers. Collaboration with others is also possible by sharing references within groups. It's recommended to use EndNote Online if you are connected via VPN and/or want to save your EndNote library in the cloud, due to poor support for those options in EndNote for desktop.
