EndNote: installation• NU faculty, staff and students

can install EN through NUIT

• Lurie Children’s staff cancontact IM to have EN installed– use the My Helpdesk link to submit a ticket

11

EndNote: starting a new library• First things first! Remember to format your library before

inputting references

• Go to Tools -> Open Term Lists -> Journals Term List

• OK to import more than one, but needs to be done one at a time

• This step will ensure that your references will be formattedcorrectly

12

EndNote: inputting references• There are three ways to input references:

1. Manual – this is the least preferred method. Only use when you cannot find the reference online.

2. Search online databases within EN – ok to use for knownreferences, when you just need a few, etc.

3. Search online databases directly – best choice, especially for searches that will retrieve lots of references.

13

EndNote: inserting references• You can insert a reference by selecting it in EN and using the

EN menu in Word• Other options for inserting references such as drag-and-drop• The manuscript can be reformatted using any style

– Example: Nature Genetics style: Ambartsumyan, L. et al. Proceedings of the 2018 Advances in Motility and in Neurogastroenterology: AIMING for the Future Single Topic Symposium. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr (2020).

– Example: NEJM style: Ambartsumyan L, Khlevner J, Nurko S, et al. Proceedings of the 2018 Advances in Motility and in Neurogastroenterology: AIMING for the Future Single Topic Symposium. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 2020.

class or review their very thorough LibGuides– EN for Mac– EN for Windows– FAQs

• Breaking down the question into topics
