When inserting references in Word with EndNote Online (also known as EndNoteWeb), a reference list is automatically created at the end of the document. In the Master's thesis in medicine, however, the bibliography according to the sample thesis is followed by the chapters Acknowledgements, Curriculum Vitae and Declaration.
How to place the automatically generated bibliography within the document before the acknowledgements
Split the thesis into two documents:
The first document contains the master thesis up to the bibliography.
The second document contains the chapters Acknowledgement, Curriculum Vitae and Declaration
When you have finished writing the first document, the Convert to Plain Text command can be used to create a copy that no longer contains EndNote formatting:
After that you can attach the second document in this copy following the bibliography.
Attention: This conversion cannot be undone. Afterwards, a correction of the references is only possible manually (not recommended) or the original document 1 must be corrected and converted to plain text again.
