Comments on the citation style:
- If you need an additional phrase like "Online-Dokument" or "Betriebsinterne Unterlagen" in your footnote, please enter the phrase in the field "Short Title" in Zotero.
- Zotero creates a whole bibliography, not a splitted one. You can manually split your bibliography at the end of your writing process:
- Save a copy of your word document.
- In the copy, please click the Zotero button "Unlink citations". This will remove Zotero from this Word document. Now you are free to edit any text.
- Keep the original word document as a backup: You may need to add or change a citation; and this will only update your already existing citations if they are still Zotero connections instead of plain text.
- Please enter URLs only if you want them to appear in Word: Any document containing a URL will not contain a full stop at the end of the bibliography entry. (Example: One of your journal articles has a URL. The URL will not appear in the bibliography, but the full stop will be missing.)
- When there is information missing between Title and Place Published, EndNote cannot use the required separator (e. g. it will use a comma while the guidelines require a full stop).

Comments on the citation style:
When grouping references into the required reference lists, please note:
- You have to group your references manually: in Microsoft Word, got to"EndNote>Convert Citations and Bibliography>Convert to Plain Text" and create a copy of your Word document without intelligent EndNote text. In this copy, you can sort your references manually.
Shortcomings of the EndNote citation style:
- When there is information missing between Title and Place Published, EndNote cannot use the required separator (e. g. it will use a comma while the guidelines require a full stop).
