Jefferson Libraries has transitioned from EZproxy to OpenAthens authentication for access to journal articles. EndNote Desktop is not supported by OpenAthens and only the OpenURL   Path may be added via Preferences ( Authenticate with: URL: input field is now left empty).

To attach a PDF to a citation manager (during or after the import process), you’ll need to configure the citation manager tool with the library’s   OpenURL   ( https://jefferson.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/openurl/01TJU_INST/01TJU_INST:01TJU? ):

  • Open EndNote
  • On the Edit menu (EndNote 20 on Mac), select Preferences
  • Select Find Full Text
  • Paste the OpenURL (above) into the box labeled OpenURL Path
  • Select Apply and then OK to save changes

EndNote Find Full Text Preferences

Please note:  without the Authenticate with: URL: EndNote's Find Full Text is not totally functional at this time (we hope for an eventual fix) as it is only relying upon the OpenURL to import PDFs. 

EndNote Click is an alternative option  for capturing full text (PDFs must have embedded digital object identifiers to be successfully imported).

  • A Class Recording: Introducing EndNote Click
  • EndNote 20 (Windows): Importing PDF Files macOS: selecting Import opens a window displaying the Options button on the lower left for PDF File or Folder.
  • EndNote 20 (Windows) PDF Auto Import folder macOS: Preferences is located via the EndNote 20 menu, compared to the Windows Edit menu. Otherwise, the process is the same.
  • EndNote: Optimizing Find Full Text results Includes discussion of OpenURL linking to PDFs at 3m:40s.
  • Capturing from Google Scholar: EndNote Click
  • Capturing from PubMed: EndNote Click
  • Connection Finder Connection files contain all the information necessary for EndNote to search and import references from an online database. Use the Connection Finder to search for a specific Information Provider.
  • Filter Finder Use import filters to transfer information previously downloaded from an online database. Search for filters to locate a specific Information Provider.
  • Style Finder Search for a style name and/or citation style and/or publisher.
  • Library Sharing and Editing EndNote 20.2 will allow you to share with up to 400 other colleagues. EndNote 20.1 will allow you to share with up to 200 other colleagues.
  • Sharing Groups Using EndNote 21, 20 and X9 Desktop Version Group sharing provides entire teams with immediate and real-time access to an EndNote group. A group is a selected set of references from an EndNote library. Group sharing is recommended as an alternative to saving a library or group on a shared drive or emailing a compressed copy around to collaborators.
  • Expert Features in EndNote 20 (macOS) Includes library syncing, sharing, customizing reference formatting and more.

Due to conflicts with citation IDs, it is recommended that one author be responsible for writing (inserting in-text citations and creating bibliographies) the manuscript.

  • Backing Up the EndNote Library: Create An .enlx File Refer to the sections for Compress Library for EndNote X and later users: "You can save your complete library (the filename.enl file as well as its associated .Data folder and all of its contents) to a single compressed filename.enlx file in order to easily back up your library or send a copy to a colleague. Later, you can easily restore (unzip) the compressed library with EndNote." Includes video: In action: EndNote 20 Compress Library.
  • Library Safety Dropbox is a cloud based file sharing service. Our database products (EndNote™, Reference Manager and ProCite) were not designed for compatibility with this service or other cloud storage. While you can use the service to keep a backup copy or share a compressed copy of your database file(s), we do not recommend opening and/or using the database from that location. If you have your database files saved to Dropbox or any cloud storage, we recommend you copy the files to another location on your computer or remote drive before you open them.

Citation Management: EndNote

  • Using Find Fulltext in EndNote

About Endnote 

The EndNote citation management software allows you to create your own personal library of references to books, articles and documents. References can include citation information (author, title, publisher, etc.) as well as annotations, graphics, and even copies of the documents themselves. EndNote then works with Microsoft Word and other word processors to automatically add references to your paper and format your bibliography in the proper style (MLA, APA, Chicago Style, etc.). 

There are 2 Versions of Endnote

EndNote Online (sign up for a free account using your VU email)

EndNote 20 Desktop Version (can purchase through VU Software Store)

There are various ways to build an EndNote Library (basically, a database to store references for deployment in documents), including

adding the references by manual entry

connecting to, searching, and downloading references directly from a remote database using the connection file/online search feature

saving the results of a database search and using a specific import filter to add them to your library

Account Creation 

  • Endnote Online Register for account within Web of Science, using your Vanderbilt email. Endnote is located top right under Products.
  • Endnote for Students (VU Software Store)
  • Endnote for Faculty and Departments (VU Software Store) more... less... License use is restricted to Vanderbilt owned computers and computers owned by Vanderbilt employees. You must buy one license for each computer you wish to install the software on.

Setting up your Account & Using Endnote 

  • Endnote Online - Set Up for setting up online account, adding citations, sharing citations, & cite while you write
  • Endnote Desktop - Start Up Guide for setting up sync between desktop version and online account, sharing citations, & cite while you write
  • EndNote Training Videos and downloadable guides from EndNote.com, available for Windows & macOS

This page was created to help you:

  • Import, edit, and organize references using EndNote
  • Select and change citation style in a document
  • Manage references throughout the research process
  • Describe why you would choose EndNote over other software

What can it do?

EndNote is a powerful tool for collecting and citing bibliographic references. You can create groups to organize and share your references, and use any of the 5000+ output filters or customize your output to get exactly what you want. EndNote is very good at handling large libraries and imported files, and the output styles are customizable. The PDFs and associated files are located locally on your machine, so you are only limited to the amount of storage on your computer (vs. cloud storage limits).

Citation or reference managers can do the following:

  • Manage citations/references
  • Organize PDFs and notes
  • Generate and format references, footnotes, and bibliographies
  • Share your library and collaborate with others
  • Save you time and frustration when wrangling research sources

EndNote is licensed for Brown faculty, staff, and students on Brown owned or personally owned computers, and is available for download in Brown's Software Catalog .

Jump to the section you need:

  • Adding and Collecting References

Installation

Register online, create your library, configure online syncing.

Download the latest version of EndNote from  Brown's software catalog . You'll be prompted to enter your Brown username and password. Open the downloaded package and follow the installation prompts.

Register for an online EndNote account . This is not required but will allow you to sync your library to the cloud and share your library with others.

Open EndNote. If you are on a PC, you will see a gray blank screen. If you are on a Mac, you will only see a toolbar on the top of your screen. You will need to create your first library by clicking "File," then "New." 

Note: You can create multiple EndNote libraries, but can only configure one to sync with your online account.

For PC users, click "Edit" in the top toolbar, then "Preferences." For Mac users, click "EndNote 20" in the top toolbar, then "Preferences." Select "Sync" from the left-side menu, then click "Enable Sync":

undefined

From there, you will be prompted to enter your account details. Online syncing is not necessary to use EndNote. However, it is necessary if you'd like to share references with others, access your library from a different computer, or recover a lost library. 

undefined

If you are successfully synced to your online account, you will see a green check mark next to "Sync Status."

There are three main ways to populate your EndNote library with references:

  • Add references manually (this may be necessary for material like datasets or archival objects)
  • Export references from bibliographic databases (use this for journal articles)
  • Import PDFs (for downloaded PDFs that you already have saved to your computer)

Add references manually

To enter references by hand: From the top menu bar, select the new reference icon, or click "References" from the top toolbar, then "New Reference."

undefined

Select the appropriate reference type, such as Journal Article, from the drop-down menu.  (This is important because it determines the fields that will show in the citation.)

  • Remember to enter multiple author names on separate lines (with a hard return after each name).  
  • You can enter author names either last name first with a comma ("Smith, Jane") or first name first ("Jane Smith").
  • When entering a corporate or institutional author name like "Brown University" or "Centers for Disease Control," enter a comma after the name. This will prevent EndNote from inverting or abbreviating the name as it would for an individual author's.
  • When typing in the title of an item, do not use the hard return. Instead, let EndNote wrap the text for you.

undefined

Export References from a Database

Search the database via the web interface as you normally would. Select the references you want, then save or export them. Every database works a little differently. Some offer an obvious EndNote export, like Web of Science:

undefined

And some offer a more generic RIS export (like Ebsco databases):

undefined

Most databases can export to EndNote with these general steps:

  • Select the citations you want to save with an "Add" button or check box.
  • Look for a "Save" or "Export" button.
  • Choose "Save to EndNote" or "Export to your bibliographic software" or a similar option. In many cases you want the RIS format. Some databases may also allow you to batch multiple citations for export. 
  • Open the resulting downloaded file. Your computer will most likely associate the file type with EndNote and prompt you to select a library to house the references. 

Import PDFs

In many cases, EndNote can generate bibliographic information from PDFs that have a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) number. Most journal articles have this number embedded in the file. If the PDF does not have a DOI number or if the PDF does not have OCR encoded text (for example, if it was scanned from paper and not OCR'ed), this will not work.

To import a PDF, go to File → Import.

undefined

Then navigate to the PDF you'd like to upload. You can select one or several. To select several, CTRL-click on the file in Windows or Command-click for Mac.  Make sure  to click "Options" in the bottom left corner of the prompt window:

undefined

This opens a list of import option filters. Choosing the correct import option will tell EndNote which file type to expect. If you forget to configure this, nothing will happen after you try to import your file. Choose "PDF File or Folder," then click "Import":

undefined

View and Sort

Create groups, find full text, remove duplicates, share your library.

By default, all of your references are listed together in a central collection called "My Library." You can use this area to organize and browse through your references. 

Sort references by clicking on the column names (e.g., Author, Year, Added to Library).

endnote bibliographic software

You can toggle the sort order by clicking the same heading again to make it sort in reverse. You can also select additional fields to display by right clicking on any column heading. This can be useful if you are using a particular field for notes or to mark references read/unread.

endnote bibliographic software

Edit references  by double clicking on the reference, then make changes in the resulting window tab. 

endnote bibliographic software

Organize your citations into categories by creating custom groups (folders). EndNote comes with three permanent groups that cannot be renamed or deleted. These are: All References, Unfiled, and Trash.

endnote bibliographic software

There are also temporary groups that are created by EndNote as needed such as Recently Added, Copied References, Duplicate References, etc.

undefined

You can also right click (Windows) or CTRL-click (Mac) in the groups area on the left side panel, then click "Create Group."

endnote bibliographic software

A Smart Group allows you to set criteria (such as author) to automatically pull matching references into a dynamic group:

undefined

A group set allows you to create a group of groups. This could be useful, for instance, to organize projects and papers under particular classes. 

endnote bibliographic software

You will see all of your groups listed to the left. You can add references to each group by dragging and dropping. A reference can belong to several group; this will not create a duplicate.

EndNote can be used to find full text, whether it's held by Brown subscription or is freely available. For best results off-campus, connect to Brown's VPN (instructions for this are here ). You can also make some custom configurations in your EndNote preferences to increase the likelihood of successfully connecting to full text. Click EndNote - Settings (for Mac), or Edit - Settings (for PC) to open your preferences. Click the Find Full Text section. Make sure all of the boxes in this section are checked. 

Under the OpenURL path, paste in this URL:

https://brown.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/uresolver/Alma_01BU_INST/openurl?

Under the Authenticate with: field, paste in this URL:

https://login.revproxy.brown.edu/login?url=

endnote bibliographic software

Select one or several references to search for full text. Then click on the Find Full Text icon in the top toolbar. This will look like a page icon with a magnifying glass on top:

endnote bibliographic software

You may be prompted to log in with your Brown ID and password. The results of Find Full Text will be displayed in the left panel. Any resulting PDFs that were retrieved will be automatically attached to their corresponding reference.

undefined

It's possible to deduplicate your EndNote library on a reference by reference basis, or all at once.

To deduplicate individual references :

  • Select all of the references in your library by clicking CTRL-A.
  • From the top toolbar under Library, click "Find Duplicates"

endnote bibliographic software

  • From the resulting pop-up, review each record to decide which to keep and which to discard. Any differences will be highlighted.

endnote bibliographic software

To deduplicate all records at once:

  • Follow the steps as described above, but instead of reviewing each record, click "Cancel."

endnote bibliographic software

  • This brings you to a temporary holding area where all one reference for each pair is highlighted:

endnote bibliographic software

  • To remove all copies, simply drag and drop them into the trash.

endnote bibliographic software

You can share either your entire library or a specific group with other people.

To share your entire library, click File - Share. From the resulting pop up, enter the email address of the person you'd like to add.

endnote bibliographic software

In the resulting prompt, enter the email addresses of people you would like to add to your library, then click "Invite." This will automatically send them an email with instructions for setting up an EndNote online account, if they don't already have one, and instructions for accessing your library via the EndNote desktop.

To see libraries others have shared with you, click File → Open Shared Library, then select the email address of the library owner. 

To share a specific group, open the group in your library, then click the person icon:

endnote bibliographic software

Add In-Text References

Additional output styles.

Use the EndNote Cite While You Write (CWYW) Plug-in in MS Word to insert references and to format citations and bibliographies automatically.

The EndNote plug-in should be added when you install EndNote on your computer.

endnote bibliographic software

Note: If after installation you do not see an EndNote tab in Microsoft Word Ribbon or Tools Menu, check "Word Options" tab in Windows or "Chooser" on a Mac. 

Inserting References in Your MS Word Document

  • With your MS Word document open, place the cursor in the location where the citation should appear.
  • Select the EndNote tab, then "Insert Citation." This tool searches your entire library (i.e., all reference fields for all references in all folders).
  • Enter a term like the author or part of the reference title in the search box to find the reference or references to insert.
  • Select the desired reference(s). To insert multiple references in one citation, click each reference while holding the Ctrl key.
  • Click "Insert." Note the small arrow next to Insert, which will allow you to select custom options such as adding the reference to the bibliography only, or exclude the author or year if needed.

undefined

Once you insert a reference from your Library in MS Word, you'll notice that a new group is automatically created in your EndNote library specifically for the references embedded in your document:

endnote bibliographic software

Alternate Methods for Inserting References

  • Highlight the desired reference in EndNote.
  • In your MS Word document, place the cursor in the location where the citation should appear.
  • Select the EndNote tab, then "Insert Citation," then "Insert Selected Citation(s)" from the drop-down.

endnote bibliographic software

  • Open your word document and EndNote library side-by-side.
  • Highlight the reference in EndNote.
  • Drag and drop the reference to the correct location within Word.

Copy and Paste Formatted References

If you don't have a need for in-text citations followed by a bibliography and just want a quickly formatted citation to paste into Word (or an email, or anywhere else), go to your EndNote library. From the top menu, click "Tools," then "Output Styles," then select the bibliographic style you'd like.

endnote bibliographic software

 Next, right-click on the desired reference or references. Select "Copy Formatted," then paste it into your document.

undefined

Note: This creates plain text. It is not linked back to the EndNote reference, and you can't change the style once you copy/paste. For full functionality, you need to insert references using the "Cite While You Write" add-in.  

To Change Your Reference Style in Your Document:

Go to "Style" then choose the desired style from the drop down menu. If your journal style does not appear, select "Select another style" from the dropdown and select your style from that list. 

undefined

If your preferred output style is not available, it is most likely available to download from EndNote Styles . For instance, you may be looking for a particular journal style. Simply search for the name of the style, then click "Download. Open the resulting file, then click "File," then "Save As," then close the style window.

EndNote Research Guide: Bibliographic Citations Tools

  • Bibliographic Citations Tools
  • EndNote Online

EndNote helps you collect and organize data for citations in 'libraries' for the books, articles, and other resources that you use in your research.  EndNote libraries can be stored on your computer's hard drive or other media so that they are always with you (no need to log-in to an internet server).  You can import/export to EndNote the citation data found in many library databases and online catalogs, using direct import thus saving time and effort. 

EndNote's 'Cite While You Write'  (CWYW) feature allows you to easily format your references in a variety of manuscript styles (e.g. APA, MLA, and more) and insert them in your paper as you write.

What is EndNote?

EndNote is software that allows you to keep track of your citations, organize them into folders, and create references and bibliographies in your papers.

  • Create your own searchable library of citations, often with links to full text or pdfs of articles
  • Search library databases (including the library catalog) from within EndNote, and import citations
  • Or search directly within the databases and export the citations you want
  • Use EndNote to easily format references and bibliographies in your papers to conform to styles used by hundreds of different journals

EndNote is similar to Mendeley and Zotero, but has some unique functionality such as pulling in PDFs en masse, and searching databases from within the EndNote platform.

Unlike these web-based applications, EndNote is not free, though it is available through the University at a subsidized rate and requires download and installation. You can download a 30-day trial version from the Endnote website, or purchase it in the following ways:

  • One year access for $55 from the  University of Illinois WebStore .  
  • One time purchase for a  student license from EndNote for 149.95.
  • Upgrade purchase for non-student license from EndNote  for 124.95.
  • One time purchase for non-student license from EndNote for 274.95.

Endnote bibliographic management software.

EndNote is bibliographic citation management software that allows you to maintain a "personal library" of references and citations. It can also import citation information from the Library's Catalog, online indexes, and databases. If you use Microsoft Word, you can insert citations from your personal libraries directly into your documents and create bibliographies from those citations.

The Bowdoin community has access to two editions of EndNote, EndNote Basic and and EndNote desktop .   These editions can be setup to automatically transfer references between editions.

  • Download the full, desktop, version of EndNote for Bowdoin-issued and personal computers (if you encounter any difficulties with downloading EndNote, contact the IT helpdesk)  
  • EndNote Online Classic EndNote Online Classis is a down-sized, easy-to-use, web-based version of EndNote.  You can sign-up for an EndNote basic web account:  https://endnote.com/weblogin/

Why Are Citations Important?

Citations are for transparency and access. Academic papers are conversations between multiple authors and responsible scholarship dictates that we properly credit scholars with their work when it is mentioned.

In addition to proving that you've done your due diligence as an academic, citations let readers know what you've read and where they can access a source you've used.

APA Style (American Psychological Association)

Used primarily in Education, Behavioral Sciences, and Social Sciences.

  • This style supports disciplines that emphasizes the date in publication. In APA Style, the date directly follows the author's name.
  • Uses parenthetical in-text citations. Sources are compiled on a "References" page.

Chicago (also known as Turabian) Citation Style

Notes and bibliography systems.

  • Used in some Humanities disciplines (including History, Literature, and the Arts).
  • This system can accommodate a variety of source types that are more difficult to format in the author-date system.
  • Uses footnotes for in-text citations. Sources are compiled on a "Bibliography" page.

Author-date systems

  • Used in the Sciences and some Social Sciences disciplines.
  • This systems looks and functions very similarly to APA Style.
  • Utilizes parenthetical in-text citations. Sources are compiled on a "References" or "Literature Cited" page.

MLA Style (Modern Language Association)

  • Humanities research emphasizes authorship. In MLA style citations, the author is most important data point.
  • Uses parenthetical in-text citations. Sources are compiled on a "Works Cited" page.

About EndNote Web

EndNote Web is the online component to EndNote, the desktop product you have installed on your own computers.  Go to www.myendnoteweb.com to create your login and start using EndNote Web. With EndNote Web, you can perform many of the same functions that the desktop product offers, such as

  • accessing your library of references
  • exporting references from databases
  • sharing references with colleagues, and

You will find instructions on using these features on the other tabs of this guide.

Sync Your Libraries

EndNote can synchronize an unlimited number of references and 5,000 groups between an EndNote online and desktop library. It is advisable to create a compressed library for backup before you begin the sync process. Go to the  File  menu and select  Compress Library.

To synchronize your library:

  • In EndNote Desktop, click on  Library  along the top menu bar and then  Sync  from the dropdown menu options.

Changes will be made to EndNote Web the next time you login or refresh the page. 

Additional Info:

  • For the first synchronization, ALL references and custom groups will be copied in both directions. This will result in duplicates if the same references reside on the device and EndNote Web.
  • Only one EndNote Web on a device and one EndNote Web account can be synchronized, so it is best to keep all your references in one library and use groups to categorize them.
  • If you delete references or attachments from one library, they will be deleted from the other synchronized libraries with the next synchronization. Technical support will not be able to restore references you have deleted and then synced.
  • Synchronization will always be of the complete library. There is no selective synchronization.

Sync EndNote Desktop and Online

Best Practices

EndNote is best used as a software with the Microsoft Word App/Desktop Version. To use EndNote most effectively, we recommend: 

Begin a document in Word online in OneDrive ​

Close the online document and open it in the Word App/Desktop version on your desktop​

Use the Word App/Desktop version to utilize EndNote's Cite While You Write feature

About EndNote

EndNote is a bibliographic management software. This software will store, create, and manage your citation information and format and insert the citations for you into a Microsoft Word document. The many existing citation styles follow very strict rules. Computers are excellent at following rules so a software program that formats citations for you can work very well. But computers are not good at exceptions to rules. For this reason, you still must learn the rules of your citation style(s) so that you can tell EndNote when to make an exception.

EndNote is very useful if you will be writing many papers or if you are working on a long-term research project where you expect to collect many, many citations. However, it does take time to learn so do not try to learn EndNote in order to complete a paper due only a few days later.

The Indiana State University Library has a site license to EndNote to make it freely available to ISU faculty, staff, and students. Those not affiliated with ISU must purchase the software.
