Adding Citations & References Using MS Word

How to use the automatic and instant features of Word to store your study references, insert citations, and generate a bibliography into your document.

[@CharlesGreggo]

Uncle Mike, you have changed my life! In 4 minutes and 51 seconds you have turned me into a credible report writer. Thanks you from the bottom of my heart! Now to practice, practice, practice!

[@soisitjustme]

Thanks for the kind words, Charles. This is one of those features that turns one of the most despised steps of report writing into a joy. You might also want to check the newer video on making a table of contents. Again, a tedious task is done is a second.

[@Sirebellum1337]

This guy has such a calming voice... all frustrations of not knowing how to use word melt away

[@Dinonuggies214]

I cried so much trying to figure out how to do citations because, if it wasn't one format, it was another and my teachers never explained what I was doing wrong. They only told if I did it incorrectly and that was that. You're saving me!!

[@glencline2644]

Why hasn't any of the 5 English classes have I never been taught this. Manually is awful. Life saver. I will test this. Thank you sir!

[@choeinglhazin792]

We had a whole module for computer last year but this video summarized a week of computer course.

[@rosemagny]

So glad I found this video! clear, concise, straight to the point. I fixed my paper in minutes. Thank you 😃

[@jemesataletawa4501]

Yes I was lost and now found. I have been finding it hard to insert my references and citations and somehow seemed to manage passing my modules. This video was basic easy to understand statement of what to do. Thank you very much from many years later !!

[@basilotieno2677]

9 Years ago! I was lost, confused and unsure, until I came along this video. Thank you!!😁

[@emmanebony]

You have no idea how helpful this was. Thank you for posting this video. :)

[@obroadieswimmer]

I'm a mature student so this was never taught back in my school days. I found this very useful. Thank you Mike. Subscribed.

[@earlhunter4191]

Uncle Mike, you are the reason why KZbin is so awesome......this is a Godsent.

[@jebessatolu4068]

Tutorial by KZbin is the best method of teaching methodology .

[@jessiedriver2317]

I have struggled so much with proper APA citation and formatting and had no idea this was an option with MS Word. Thank you so very much

[@didiklah811]

So helpful, i was doing it manually... Oh my word, those wasted time

[@clickprofileimage]

Adding proper references to a paper can be such a pain. In fact, for many students, writing papers is stressful and exhausting. But worry not. My name is Mary and I help students with their assignments. If you're tired of the pressure of coming up with high-quality papers, reach out to me via email ([e-mail]). Send me a message, and homework burnout will be a thing of the past.

[@KandarpAdroja129]

uncle mike you are a life saver!!

[@whalelivia]

This tutorial is based on your word document already has references setup and showed you how to edit existing references. One more step to show how to creat new references would be helpful for people who click into this video

lots of love and appreciation from Uganda. Thank you so so so much!

[@prongelnursing2471]

thanks for making my life as a student easy

[@jerrypeter7897]

You are very beautiful woman with a beautiful smile I wish you the best this year how is the weather over there right now

[@JEGNA32]

WOW! This is just what I needed! Time saved...thank you!

[@dawnleewalton3089]

This is good except when you use a direct quote you are required to cite the page number. Word allows you to do that but, your video does not show how or tell students that they need to provide a page number.

[@soisitjustme]

My video doesn't show everything.

[@nikkirochelle3717]

I will state that Word does not do everything for you. The page number citation has to be done on your own. Word only had basic citing and referencing tools. Purdue Owl can be a great reference on how to use other reference tools.

[@mohamedsedky510]

I don't have an uncle, and I'd have considered you as an uncle, Uncle Mike :D I haven't understood anything in this aspect from my professor for technical writing, and it's not like I wouldn't have figured it out, but it would have taken me much time to know any hidden secret, yet you clarified the whole thing straightly to the point. Regards, uncle

[@SreenivasKaranamPraveen]

Uncle Mike...! You've just saved an assignment and a weekend.. Love you!! Stay blessed.

[@k.g.8755]

Thank you for making a very concise and informative video which I can share with others! A friend showed me this in college and I've been trying to tell others ever since!

[@robertknows-really]

The year, month and day if you are adding a website is the date one accessed it not when the webpage was made. According to both harvard and apa referencing

[@TheTBoysplay]

Dude Thank you so much! I needed this

[@theseusbodymind4261]

Can't believe I only now discovered this! Cheers Mike!

[@zs5415]

Thanks for sharing, I was struggling APA style in Microsoft word now I am after watching this video a lot easier for me to do APA style for my paper. I am very grateful thanks again!!!

[@findjoehere]

Thanks for such a wonderfully simple yet poignant explanation. You've saved me hours and hours of work each semester :)

[@sarabernard1979]

OMG!!! This is amazing! Saved me lots of time! THANK YOU!!!

[@shruthika9223]

Thanks Uncle Mike, now I can do the word document...

[@manjutamang9777]

It was really helpful thank you so much sir

[@tuenhavan251]

Thank U so much. I have a question though: Whenever I insert a citation, it always appears to be in default format of (Author, Year), e.g (Williams, 1945). However, in my text I sometimes have to paraphrase the sources, e.g "Williams (1945) said that..." or "According to Williams (1945), ...", so I need to cite sources in format of Author (Year) instead of the default format". Is there an automatic Word feature to do that and how? Thank you sir a lot.

[@thomasjp95]

hey did you find a solution? I am having the same issue

[@maramezina1094]

you have to write the name of the author manually then go to incert the citation then edit citation then cross the author and title so the year remains

[@leenakapse1161]

I research scholar..thank you so much it is really helpful

[@captainusman5349]

you saved my life from my research project. thanks soo much. big thumbs up

[@rez752]

Uncle Mike, thanks! very clear and helpful. However, you are wrong when you say that in the bibliography you can only mention sources that you have cited in the document. what you are talking about is the reference list. The bibliography is the reference list plus all the other sources that I have consulted to write the document but are not been cited in the document.

[@Nyabagam]

Nice presentation...Found this really helpful for my assignment...Thank you so much

[@jacintaanderson]

omg how have i only just learnt this!!!

[@xXColdHandsXx]

Thank you so much. I wish I knew this before. Love from Bangladesh.

[@NorthTecULibrary]

Very clear instructions. I intend to share this with students at our college, if I may. Thanks!

[@mahirel-chami4111]

Easy to follow and straight to the point explanation. thanks heaps!

[@michaeldthree6042]

THIS VIDEO IS VERY OUTDATED AND INCORRECT. APA 7th ed. has been out for several years. Even the newest MS Word does not have 7th ed., and its 6th ed. content is incorrect. APA never titled a references list "Bibliography." Nor does APA cite the motto of TED ("Ideas worth spreading") or any organization in in-text citations or references list citations. Retrieval dates are not needed in most cases. I recommend not using Word's References tools. Try Zotero for a robust, continually updated, FREE research tool that goes beyond individual documents and provides much more functionality and accuracy.

[@funlovers9147]

This was exactly what I wanted Uncle Mike. Great work. God Bless :)

Thank you for the video. I had used the APA sixth edition in a previous course I did. But in my current academic pursuit, my professors insist we use the 7th edition which is currently not in word. What do I do?

[@akritibajpai668]

please, someone, tell me how we get the "current list" formed in our document, if I have written something (copied-pasted) then what is the very first and next step to start with in order to put proper references. Do I first need to "add sources"? how is it done?

Thank you I found this video extremely useful!

[@ladyashephd727]

Citations are placed throughout the document? And the reference page/bibliography is where you insert all the citations you used?
