EndNote will even create a bibliography for you. Follow these steps to save yourself a ton of work. 

1. Click on the Format tab. 
2. Use the "References" drop box to select which would you would like to create a bibliography for. 
3. Use the "Bibliographic Style" drop box to select your citation style.

Pro Tip: Create a list of citation style favorites by clicking Select Favorites. This will save you from having to go through that long list of citation styles each time you create a bibliography. I suggest including American Medical Association (AMA) Style (at least), and when you are done, click Copy to Favorites. It's that easy!

4. Use the "File Format" drop down menu to select how you want to export the bibliography. 

• RTF (rich text file): this will open the bibliography into a RTF word processing file (i.e. Microsoft Word)
• Text File: this will open an unformatted bibliography into a notepad file
• HTML: this will open your bibliography into your default browser window

5. Save, Email, or Preview and Print

• Save: will download the file which you will then need to open
• Email: emails you a copy of your bibliography
• Preview and Print: opens your bibliography in another window which you can then copy and paste into your document

Personally, I recommend exporting your bibliography using HTML, Preview & Print, and Copy & Pasting it into your document. Be sure to give your document a once-over to make sure everything looks okay (sometimes random pieces of your bibliography get bolded in the process). Better safe than sorry!
