# 5. Referencing in Word

APA citing style

Within RUAS we often use the APA 7th edition, but there are many other citing styles available. The choice of a specific citing style is determined by your professor or the journal in which you want to publish.

The Dutch APA reference style (slightly different from the international edition) is not included in EndNote by default and you will have to download it. You can download it from the EndNote website.

Customise citing style in Word

You can change the citing style by doing the following:

1. Go to the EndNote tab at the top of Word.
2. Click on the field behind 'Style'. This often defaults to 'Annotated'.
3. A list of all possible citing styles will now appear. For more options, check 'Select Another Style...'
4. Once you have chosen a new style, EndNote automatically adjusts the references in the text and in the bibliography to the new reference style.
