I am writing a paper and because my tables are large the journal has asked I submit them as separate word documents rather than placing them in the manuscript file. I need to have references in my tables but am unsure how to link it so the references get a proper number in the list in my manuscript. Also as it is a numbered ref list I guess it will depend on where in the manuscript the table is located...Any advice is appreciated. I am working with MS word and Endnote v8
From MS Word, you can go to Endnote X8 >> convert citations and bibliography >> convert to plain text. so you can cut your tables and copy them to another file easily without affecting your references.
But how does that help with submitting the paper? I will need formattend refer to submit.
Hi Amanda,
Ahmad Sahyouni is correct. You first need to adjust your manuscript and references to the Journal of interest format and then save a copy of the Word file just in case (call this file "Word #1" for example). Then, as Ahmad said you can convert this file to plain text (using the EndNote tab in the MS Word, convert citations and bibliography >> convert to plain text ) and then it easily converts everything to plain text, so cutting and pasting your tables to another Word file for submitting will not negatively affect the order of references. In future if you intend to submit to another journal or revise the references again you need to go back to the original MS Word file you saved with editable references ("Word #1") and do the same steps, update references, and then convert them again to plain text and resubmit. I hope this makes sense. Happy to help if you need more help.
