Hello,

I am wondering if there is any way to have Bookends produce endnotes that contain the same information as would bibliography entries. I am trying to use the program for the journal "Political Theory," which requires full endnotes in place of a proper bibliography.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what you want the endnotes to look like. How do they differ from a bibliography in this case? If they don't, then of course you can use the bibliography Bookends generates as the endnotes.

Well, and there could be something very simple I'm missing, but what I would like differs from a regular bibliography insofar as a bibliography gets created in alphabetical order instead of being ordered by and associated with the numbered notes throughout the text. So I would like the output to look like the series of endnotes that is produced normally, except that I would like each entry to contain all the info that bibliographies do (editors, translators, etc. as entered in the formats manager).

I hope this is clear, and apologize for my relative ignorance of the software. I'm new and generally very happy with it!

Hi, the bibliography can be sorted or not, ordered by citation order or not, etc. I think what you want is a bibliography that is numbered (set in the format) in the order of the citations. Please take the Bookends tutorial.pdf (Help menu) for a quick overview of scanning, and see the User Guide for "formats". If you have questions, please contact tech support off-forum (support@sonnysoftware.com) and I'll help you find or create a format that does what you want.

If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a format that does not create a separate bibliography – it does not need to, since the full bibliographic information is in each "citation object" (which is placed in an endnote). This is not a problem at all. You just need a format that puts the necessary information in the citation object – many of the humanities formats that are included in Bookends already do something similar. (I don’t have Bookends here right now, so I cannot give you an example.)
