What is EndNote
• EndNote is a commercial Reference Management Software package, used to manage bibliographies and references when writing Essays and Articles. It is produced by Thomson Reuters.
• We will use “EndNote X6 version” in this course.
Getting Started with EndNote
• Create your own library
• Method: Open EndNote > Create New Library > Give a specific Name > Save.
• In an existing Library, Go to File > New > Give a specific Name > Save.
• A new blank library will automatically appear.
Direct Export From Databases
• Several databases have an option to export references directly to EndNote. These include:
• Google Scholar
• Science Direct
• PubMed (Use Firefox)
• Business Source Complete
• Compendex
• IEEE Xplore
• JSTOR
• The Web of Knowledge
• Scopus
Direct Export From
Google Scholar
• 1st Method
• Go to Search > Cite > Import into EndNote > Citation will be downloaded > double click on citation. It will be automatically imported in your already “Opened Library”
• 2nd Method
• Go to Settings > Bibliography Manager > Show links to import citations into > EndNote > Save.
• These settings will be saved for downloading citations.
Direct Export From
Science Direct
• Method
• Search > Export Citations > In Format > Select “ RIS (for EndNote, Reference Manager, ProCite)” > In Content select “Citations Only” > Click on “Export”.
• Citation will be downloaded, then double click on citation to import into your library.
Direct Export From
PubMed• Browser Requirement, “FireFox”
• You can import citations “One by One” or “All Citations” of an author appeared on the page.
• Method: Search(e.g Muhammad Rashid Khan) > Send to > Select “Citation Manager” > click on “Create File” > Open with(Default).
• Same method is used for one citation.
• Google Chrome will directly download the file
Importing References From
A PDF Document • If you want to add the citation of a “PDF
Document” that you have saved on your computer EndNote may be able to grab the relevant data and add it to your EndNote library.
• Method A: Go to File > Import > Files(Select PDF file) > Import.
• It should be noted that this does not work well for all PDF documents.
• Method B: Copy the paper title in “Search Engine” and download its citation. Then import it in your library
Entering References
Manually
• When you cannot find a reference in an electronic format, enter it manually.
• Always type author’s names as shown. e.g WasimAhmad, write it as “Ahmad, W.”, Muhammad Rashid Khan, write it as “Khan, M. R.”.
• Names NOT already in your library appear in red.
• NEVER type anything in BOLD OR ITALICS.
• Specify the format e.g article, book, report etc.
• Do not forget to save the reference.
Sorting Your References
• You can manage your references by Author’s Name, Year, Title, Journal Name and Reference Type.
• Method: Click on any column heading to sort the references, for example by ”Author”.
Searching Your Endnote Library
• This is very easily done either by entering a keyword or author into the search box on the toolbar or by selecting Search Library from the Tools menu.
Search Box
Editing References
• Individual references can be edited in the Reference preview panel on the right or by double clicking on a reference in the main panel. This will allow you to click on individual fields and make amendments or additions.
• You can check spelling when you have a reference open for editing.
• Method: Tools > Spell Check.
• Do not forget to save the reference.
Checking For Duplicates
• You can check and delete any duplicates in your EndNote library
• Method: References > Find Duplicates > Keep one of the Records.
Creating Groups Within Your
Endnote Library • It is better that you work with only one EndNote
library. But within that library it is possible to separate and organize your references into GROUPS.
• This is useful if you are working on more than one projects.
• Method: Groups > Create Group > Name it.
• You can add references to the groups as shown
• Method: Select references > drag to the group.
OR… Right click > Add references to (e.g Thesis)
Sorted References
• All References contains a list where every reference you have captured.
• Unfiled contains all the references that you have not yet added to a group.
• Groups contains all the references that you have added to the group.
• Trash contains no of references which are incomplete or wrong.
• MS Word.docx contains no of references which have been imported into this document from this library
