Endnote provides access to 100s of citation styles. At UTS the style for Law is AGLC .
Endnote does not automatically provide access to the AGLC style. You must download
this from the library website
http://www.lib.uts.edu.au/guides/law/endnote-law-install
Reference
Types
The AGLC style allows you to select legal reference types from the drop down menu
Eg case, statute, legal encyclopaedia, journal, etc.
Fields in
Endnote
The reference type dictates which fields you use to create the Endnote reference.
A detailed list of reference types and fields can be found at:
http://www.lib.uts.edu.au/guides/law/endnote-law-citations
Case:
Imbree v McNeilly (2008) 236 CLR 510
Statute: Crimes Act 1900 (NSW)
The Label
Fields and
the
Bibliography
AGLC guidelines state that your bibliography must be organised by material type:
cases, legislation, etc: AGLC (3rd ed) 1.16
As citations are inserted into a Word document from Endnote a bibliography
automatically begins to form at the end of the document.
This bibliography will be organised in alphabetical order rather than by material type.
To organise your bibliography by material type use the Label Field on the Endnote
record and classify your material according to the following labels:
 Article/Book/ Report
 Case



Legislation
Treaty
Various
(The label ‘Various’ is used to classify ‘other sources’ because this will place these
references after the other named categories)
Note that the Labels are in alphabetical order – A-C-L-T-V- this will force Endnote to
place the materials into this order in your bibliography

footnotes
AGLC referencing uses footnotes. To create a footnote in Word:
 Go to the References Tab on the Word toolbar
Journal titles should be entered in full
Judges and their titles should all be listed on one line exactly as you want them to
appear, eg Gleeson CJ, Gummow and Hayne JJ
Punctuation In most cases you do not need to use punctuation-eg brackets, italics, commas etc as
Endnote formats this for you. Exceptions apply when inserting paragraph numbers,
sections into citations in Word (see below).
Regulations Use the Statute reference type
Statutes
‘Regnal years and Monarch’ is an optional field if required.
United
For UN documents type the Resolution Number in full (eg GA Res 34/40); type the
Nations
subdivision in full (eg 2110th mtg)
Document
URLs
URLs should be entered into the URL field without brackets. When you have a URL you
must also enter the Access date (ie the full date when you viewed the website)
Years
Enter years without brackets. Endnote will automatically apply the appropriate
bracket.

The bibliography at the end of your document will be organised in alphabetical order
according to material type (this is generated by the data in the Label field in Endnote)
However the Labels will not appear in your bibliography. To create Labels (or
Headings) the hidden Endnote codes in your Word document must first be removed.
When you remove Field Codes Endnote will create a clean copy of your document
stripped of Endnote codes but also still retain your original document.

This will create a clean copy of your

untouched.
