Chapter One:
1.1 Introduction to Endnote:
EndNote is an online search toolyou can search online bibliographic resources and retrieve
references directly into your EndNote library. You can also export references to EndNote from your
favorite online resource
EndNote is a reference and full text organizer with a collaborative Web toolyour personal
reference library will save you countless hours of organizing your research. Group references
according to your research projects and attach up to 45 files for managing related materials.
EndNote is a bibliography makerCite While You Write takes the pain out of citing and
formatting references in Apple Pages 09, Microsoft Word, and OpenOffice.org Writer 3 for
Windows. You can also create bibliographies for other presentation software using Format Papers
(RTF files).
EndNote and EndNote Web are collaborative tools to simplify working with colleagues.

1.2 System Requirements:

EndNote runs under the following operating systems:
Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit versions)
Windows Vista (32 or 64 bit versions)
Windows XP with at least Service Pack 3 installed
Hardware Requirements:
A personal computer with a Pentium (or compatible) 450-MHz or faster processor
A minimum of 256 MB of available RAM
A hard drive with at least 180 MB of free space
An Internet connection is required in order to use the EndNote Online Search feature for searching
online databases, the Find Full Text feature, or EndNote Web. To use the Open Link command to
access a Web site, you also need a Web browser installed.
Unicode compliant
Handhelp compatibility16 MB RAM
- Windows Mobile 5x device; Serial /USB Active Synce

As of June 2010, EndNote for Windows is compatible with:

Microsoft Office Word 2003, 2007, or 2010 (32 bit version) for Windows
Open Document Format (ODT) documents created with OpenOffice.org Writer 3
RTF files created with most word processors, including:
Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, OpenOffice.org Writer, StarOffice, and WordPad
Microsoft Word
EndNote installs Cite While You Write commands in Microsoft Word. Word 2003 displays an
EndNote submenu of commands on Words Tools menu. Word 2007 and 2010 displays Cite While
You Write commands on an EndNote tab. Cite While You Write allows EndNote to format citations
and create a bibliography for the document that is open in Word. You can format, unformat, and
reformat a documentwithout exiting your word processor.
In order for Cite While You Write to install properly, Microsoft Word 2003, 2007, and 2010 must be
correctly installed on your computer prior to installing EndNote. Please make sure that you close
Word and all applications before attempting to install Cite While You Write.
If a supported version of Microsoft Word is installed on your computer, the appropriate Cite While
You Write files are installed automatically for the current user when you run the EndNote
installation. This feature can be used with a shared copy of Word or on a network.

OpenOffice.org Writer
EndNote installs Cite While You Write commands in the OpenOffice.org version 3 Writer. CWYW
commands appear on an EndNote menu. Cite While You Write allows EndNote to format citations
and create a bibliography for the document that is open in OpenOffice.org Writer. You can format,
unformat, and reformat a documentwithout exiting your word processor.
In order for Cite While You Write to install properly, the OpenOffice.org 3.x suite must be correctly
installed on your computer prior to installing EndNote.
You must close all OpenOffice.org applications before installing
Cite While You Write, including the OpenOffice.org Quickstarter.
RTF and ODT Documents
For word processors other than Word 2003, Word 2007, Word 2010, or OpenOffice.org 3.x, first
write your paper and insert intext citations. If the file format is anything other than an
OpenOffice.org ODT document, save as an RTF file. Then, use EndNotes Format Paper feature
to format the citations and bibliography from your ODT or RTF file.

1.3 Upgrading from an earlier EndNote version

Before you begin, back up any custom styles, import filters, and connection files that you do not
want overwritten.
We strongly recommend that you uninstall any earlier version of EndNote before you install
EndNote X5. See Uninstalling EndNote

NOTE: During installation, you will need to enter both your new EndNote X5 product key, which is
found in the EndNote X5 CD packaging or on the order confirmation for your digital product, and
your old EndNote serial number. (The Demo version of EndNote does not require these.)

Install the upgrade just as you would a new installation. By default, EndNote X5 is installed into the
C:\Program Files\EndNote X5 folder.
If Setup detects an earlier copy of the EndNote program in the installation folder, it alerts you and
gives you two options. If you continue with the installation to install EndNote X5 into your existing
EndNote folder, Setup removes the older EndNote
application and word processor support files. You need to select what it should do with the styles,
filters, and connection files from your older copy of EndNote. No matter which option you choose,
your libraries will not be deleted; nor will any non-EndNote files in the EndNote folder.

Version: 1, Date: July 2011
Use the Tips that follow to give you guidance.
_________________________________________________________________________________

Tips for entering information into the reference fields:

Author/Editor Names:
Care must be taken when typing in the Author(s) name(s). It must be in the correct format:
Enter the surname first, followed by a comma then the forename(s)/ initial(s) separated by spaces e.g.
Darwin, Charles or Smith, John J or Murphy, P T
The comma indicates to EndNote where the author(s) Surname ends. It is not necessary to enter
punctuation after the author(s) initial(s) as EndNote will amend the format depending on the output style
selected. There should be a space between each forename and/or initial. The need to enter forenames or
initials will be dictated by the reference style you will use for your work.
You must enter the author(s) names as they would usually be spelled e.g. for the author Susan M. Smith
the correct entry is Smith, Susan M and not smith, susan m. If no capitalisation is used none will appear
in the output style*. (*There are some exceptions to this e.g. the Harvard citation style capitalises the
Authors names)
Enter the author(s) names one per line, press [Enter] to start a new line within the Author Field.
If there is no author leave the line blank.
If you do not know all the authors, then the last author entry should be typed as et al.,
For multiple-word last names enter as Surname, Forename(s) Initial(s. The entry for Charles de Gaulle,
will read de Gaulle, Charles
For authors with titles e.g. Snr, Jnr, III etc., enter as Surname, Forename, Title. For example: The entry
for Albert Smith Jr. will be Smith, Albert, Jr.
Place commas at the end of corporate authors names e.g. Microsoft, or Apple Computer Inc.,
Other Fields:
To move from one field to another use [Tab] to move down or [Shift+Tab] to move up.
Enter years as a four digit number, for example 2007, 1997
Enter titles without a period or punctuation at the end. Allow the title to wrap within the field, DO NOT USE
ENTER. It is best practice to capitalise the title as you would like it to appear in your bibliography. Be
consistent with capitalisation. If possible, follow the guideline(s) for the reference style(s) you are likely to
use.
The full journal name should be entered in the field Journal Name. For abbreviated formats use the
Alternative Journal field.
Page ranges can be entered as complete (1223-1229) or abbreviated (1223-9) ranges. The style used to
create the bibliography will amend the page numbers to be either full, abbreviated or first page only. Do
not use commas for page numbers in the thousands e.g. 1223 not 1,223.
Do not enter punctuation, labels, or text styles that are normally part of a bibliographic style.
rd th
For editions, enter as 3 , 5 etc.

4.When you have entered the details for the article, click on the grey X in the right hand corner of the
screen. The reference is automatically saved for you. You also have the option to save the record by
clicking on File -> Save. You should now have one reference displayed in youre my EndNote Library.enl
file. To view or edit the saved reference, double click on it.

Version: 1, Date: July 2011
5. The record has been given a unique identifier, Smith, 2007#1. Each subsequent reference will receive
its own unique number.

4.2 Updating References

You can update individual references by retrieving information from source databases outside
EndNote such as Web of Science and PubMed.

The Find Reference Updates option is available from the References menu and as an icon from the
Reference window. When you select this option, EndNote searches for and retrieves available field
updates for the selected reference. If a reliable match is found, EndNote displays a Review Reference
Updates dialog that shows you all the updates that were found. An error message displays if a reliable
match cannot be found or if no updates are available.

4.2.1 To update a reference:

1.Select (highlight) a reference in the Reference List or open a reference in the Reference Window.
2.From the References menu, select the Find Reference Updates option to open the Review Reference
Updates dialog.
Note: Click the Find Reference Updates icon if you are updating a reference from the Reference Window.
3.By default the "Merge All Updates into My Reference" check box is selected along with each check box
for any field that contains update information. Clear this check box if you want to select specific field
updates from the Reference Updates panel.
4.Select the check box of each field update that you want to merge with the reference fields in the My
Reference panel. Note that if you clear the check box from a field in the Reference Updates panel, then the
updated information is removed from the same field in the My Reference panel.
5.If needed, edit the information in the EndNote reference field.
6.Click the Update Reference button to save your changes.
7.Click Yes when the Confirmation dialog appears.

4.3 Direct Export from the Web of Science

A search result can often be exported directly from a database into an EndNote Library using a Direct
Export feature.
A Beginners Guide to Using EndNote X5 for PC
Author: Jessica Eustace-Cook ([email protected])
Version: 1, Date: July 2011
1.From the TCD Library Information Resources page http://www.tcd.ie/library/inforesources.php) locate the
entry for Web of Science.
2.In the Topic field enter your search terms Crime Scene Forensics
3.Mark records of interest.
4.Click Submit.
5.Click on the icon to view your marked list.
6.From the following screen, click export to reference software.
7.If EndNote is not open, it will be launched automatically prompting you to locate and select a library. If
EndNote is running the references will be exported to the front window.
8.Double click a reference to view what has been transferred from the database.
9.Close the reference after viewing.
10. Close the Library by clicking the grey X. These references are now saved in the My EndNote
Library.enl file.
_________________________________________________________________________
Tips

You should always carefully check the content of the database record against what has been transferred
into the EndNote library.

It may be useful to a add a note to the record to state which database the records come from, what date
the database was searched and perhaps the search terms used. To globally edit to your records, select
References, Change and Move Fields. From the drop down menu by In, select the relevant field and
enter your notes. For example, select Name of Database and enter ISI Web of Knowledge.
To merge the records with the others in your library select [Ctrl+M]. Or click on X in the right-hand corner
of the screen to close the window and automatically have the records merged into your library.
_________________________________________________________________________________

4.4 Importing downloaded references using a filter

Not all databases will allow you to directly export information from the database into your EndNote Library.
If the Direct Export option is not available (PubMed, SciFinder Scholar, Emerald) the results can be
downloaded as a .txt file and then imported into an EndNote library using an Import Filter file (.enf). The
filters, specific to the particular database and supplier are configured to extract relevant information from
the database record and transfer the information into the appropriate fields in the EndNote library.

4.4.1 To import a text file from PubMed please follow these instructions:
A] Direct Import of Files into EndNote

Version: 1, Date: July 2011
4. Select "Show links to import citations into" and then "EndNote.
5. Click Save Preferences.
You are returned to the Google Scholar search page, where you can perform a search. Each search result
will include the button Import into EndNote

4.5 Connecting from EndNote to the TCD library catalogue, Web of

Science and PubMed.
Connection files enable EndNote to connect to, search and retrieve references from databases and
catalogues. This method will only work for the TCD Library catalogue, Web of Science and PubMed.
Users should note that the search interface in EndNote may not be as sophisticated as the search features
in the database.

4.5.1 Searching the Library Catalogue using EndNote

1.Ensure you have installed the TCD Library connection file on your PC or laptop
(http://www.tcd.ie/Library/Local/EndNote/).
2.In EndNote, select Tools, Online Search, New Search.
3.The Choose a Connection File window will open.
4.Search for File by Name, enter Trinity College Library Dublin select this option by clicking on Choose.
5.When you now go to Tools, Online Search, Connect, Trinity College Library Dublin should be
displayed.

4.5.2 Searching an Online Database

Searching an online database is essentially the same as searching your own EndNote library. After
establishing a connection:
1. Enter your search term(s) into EndNotes Search tab at the bottom of the page
2. Choose the appropriate search options.

A Beginners Guide to Using EndNote X5 for PC

Author: Jessica Eustace-Cook ([email protected])
Version: 1, Date: July 2011
3. Click Search to send the search request to the online database.

4. Click on the Search button to start the search. There may be a time delay depending on how many
references need to be imported.

5. After a successful search, EndNote alerts you to the number of references that were found. You have
the option of retrieving all of the references or a specific range of references. (The order of the retrieved
references reflects the way they were returned from the serverthis is not necessarily alphabetical,
chronological, or in order of relevance.)

6. Choosing OK allows EndNote to begin retrieving references.

7. Changing the range of references to be retrieved is useful if you want to check the results of your
search before downloading the entire set of references. For example, if your search found 200 references,
you may want to retrieve only references 1-10, then check those references, and either continue
downloading or change your search criteria. To continue downloading, submit the search again, then
request only references 11 through 200.
8. You can also pause during record retrieval; on the Search tab, click Options and select Pause. Click
Resume when you want to continue.
9. If you are working in Online Search Mode, references are downloaded into a temporary library. The top
of the window indicates Online Mode.
10. To save references, highlight them (click in the list and use Select All from the Edit menu to select all
references in the current list, use CTRL+click to select noncontiguous
references in the list, or use SHIFT+click to select a range of references) and then:
Go to the References menu and select Copy References to in order to select a new or existing library and
copy the highlighted references to that selected library

Note: strongly recommend that you use the Online mode when running online searches to prevent large
numbers of references automatically being entered into your Endnote Library

4.6 Discarding Duplicate References

1. If you use the same search strategy to search multiple online sources, you may introduce duplicate
references into your EndNote library. There are two methods to identify and remove duplicates:

A Beginners Guide to Using EndNote X5 for PC

Author: Jessica Eustace-Cook ([email protected])
Version: 1, Date: July 2011
2. You can identify and delete duplicates in your EndNote library after downloading is completed. This
process allows you to view each duplicate before deleting it.

4.6.1 Finding Duplicate References.

To find all of the duplicate references in a library:
1.With the Library window open, click on the All References group to show all references.
2.From the References menu, select Find Duplicates.

EndNote will display a Find Duplicates dialog where you can compare duplicates and decide which version
to keep and which to delete.

4.6.2 Discard duplicates during the downloading process:

To automatically discard duplicates:

1. From the Edit menu, select Preferences.

2. Display the Duplicates panel.
3. Under Online Search Results, select the Automatically discard duplicates check box.

Future online searches will automatically use the duplicate detection criteria on this panel to identify and
discard duplicate references. The duplicates never appear, and are not inserted into the library. This
means that the number of references saved to your library could be fewer than the number reported found
on the Confirm Online Search dialog.

Chapter Five
5.1 Working with references in an EndNote Library
5.1.1Sorting a Library
Similar to MS Excel/Access, you can quickly sort your references alphabetically by clicking on the column
header. For example click once on the Author column heading in your EndNote Training.enl library will list
your authors alphabetically. To reverse the order click again.

You can also sort references by selecting References, Sort References from the menu toolbar.

5.1.2 Adding information to references

By adding your own notes to references in the library you can record additional information such as: what
database the information has come from, date accessed, intended use, or other relevant comments.
From your EndNote Training.enl library select a reference into which you will add information.

1.Select References>Show Selected References

Version: 1, Date: July 2011
2.Select Tools > Change and Move Fields
3.Select Research Notes from the drop down menu.
4.Type Im adding more information to my references, click OK. Click OK for the following two
confirmation messages.

5.Double click to view a reference. Scroll down to the notes field to verify the change.
6.To return to the complete library, from the menu bar, select References > Show All References.

5.1.3 Attaching a PDF to a reference

Attach a PDF file to the reference. You can attach almost any type of file to the File Attachments field of a
reference.
Scroll to the File Attachments field, and from the References menu, select File Attachments > Attach File to
display a file dialog.
On the file dialog:
a. Navigate to the folder Program Files\EndNote X5.
b. Notice the check box titled Copy this file to the default file attachment folder and create a relative link.
Make sure this box is selected so that EndNote will make a copy of the file to store with the library. That
way, the attached file is always available to you, even when you
move the library.
c. Highlight the file titled EndNote.pdf. - This is the full EndNote help system located in the EndNote
program folder.
d. Click Open to insert the file into the File Attachments field. A file icon will appear in the field.
A Beginners Guide to Using EndNote X5 for PC
Author: Jessica Eustace-Cook ([email protected])
Version: 1, Date: July 2011
 You can attach up to 45 different files to a single reference, and you can double-click a file icon to open the
file with the default application.

7. Close the Reference window by choosing Close Reference(CTRL+W) from the File menu.
8. When prompted to save changes, click Yes. Your new reference will appear in the Library window.
A paper clip icon appears next to the reference to indicate an attached file

5.1.4 Opening a Linked File or URL

Once a valid, hyperlinked URL or path and filename appear in a reference, you can open the reference and
click the hyperlinked text or icon to open the linked URL or file.

To open a URL from your Endnote Library you have two options
1. Highlight your reference in your Endnote Library and right click on your mouse.
2. Select URL>Open URL
Or from the References menu, use the URL>Open URL
2. To open a File Attachment:
3. Go to File Attachments>Open File command to look specifically in the File Attachments field to open the
Internet site or linked file.

You must have the necessary program installed on your computer in order for EndNote to open a file
created by another program. For example, to open a PDF file, you must have Adobe Acrobat, Adobe
Acrobat Reader, or another program that can read PDF files installed on your computer.
Similarly, EndNote does not include a Web browser. If you do not already have a browser installed, you will
need to install one before using this feature to open a link to a Web site.

Chapter Six
6.1 Searching your EndNote Library
EndNote provides a powerful and flexible Search Library command that enables you to locate specific
references or groups of references. For example, you can choose a very general search, one that scans
the entire library, or you can limit your searches to specific fields (such as Author or Keywords). You can
also create more complex searches using a variety of operators such as And, Or, Not, Greater than, Less
than, and others. To quickly search your entire library, use the Quick Search item on the Main toolbar.

With your library list displayed, enter a word or phrase and press ENTER. EndNote executes a general
search of all fields. You can use the drop-down list to select a recent search term. If you need a more
specific or complicated search, use the Search tab.

6.2 The Search Tab

To begin a search, display the group of references you want to search and then choose Search Library
(CTRL+F) from the Tools menu or click the Search tab in the Tab pane. The Search tab appears,
displaying several empty search lines (you can add more if necessary).

6.3 Quick Overview of the Search Tab
Functions are described in more detail in the sections that follow:

Search Line
A search line includes the field to be searched (from the Field list), the comparison operator, and
the text to be found (the search term). Use the plus or minus buttons to the right of each search
line to insert or delete a line.
Field List

The field list allows you to restrict your search to a particular fieldsuch as Author, Year, or
Keywordsor all fields. By default, the Field lists are set to search Author, then Year, then Title.

Comparison List

Choose an item from the comparison list to indicate how the search term should relate to the field(s) being
searched. For example, EndNote can find references in which the Journal Field begins with "science," the
Journal field Contains science anywhere in the field, or the full Journal name actually Is science.

Search Term

The search term is the word or phrase that you want to locate. Use the Options button at the bottom of the
Search tab to insert a Tab or Carriage Return in the search line.

Boolean Operator List

The And, Or, and Not list between the search lines indicates how the search lines are to be combined.

Search Set List

Use the search set list to specify the set of references to search and how the search results should be
combined with other references in the Library window. By default, EndNote searches the group of
references currently displayed, and then shows only the results of the search.

Match Case

By default, EndNote ignores capitalization when searching for text in a library. For example, a search for
the text paleontology also finds Paleontology. When the Match Case option is checked, EndNote finds
only those records in which the search term is capitalized exactly as you typed it on the Search tab. For
example, if your search term is AIDS and you select Match Case, EndNote ignores the word aids and
finds only the acronym AIDS. When the Match Case option is checked, a search for specific diacritical
marks such as , and will match those letters exactly. Thus, a search for rsum will not find resume.
If you want to find all variations of a letter, deselect the Match Case option.

Match Words

A Beginners Guide to Using EndNote X5 for PC

Author: Jessica Eustace-Cook ([email protected])
Version: 1, Date: July 2011
With Match Words selected, EndNote finds only exact matches to the search term, rather than partial-
word matches. For example, a search for the term state, with the Match Words option selected, finds
references with the word state while ignoring words like statehood or understated.

Save Search and Load Search

If you frequently use the same search strategies on the Search tab, you can use the Options button to save
these searches and later load them when you need them.

Chapter Seven:
7.1 Grouping References in a Library
7.1.1 About Groups and Group Sets?
Groups make it easy to break a large library into subsets for later viewing. A group simply points to a
subset of references that already exist in the library. You can further organise your references by storing
multiple groups in custom Group Sets.

7.1.2 The Types of Groups in EndNote

There are several types of groups that make it easy to organise your references in EndNote. The first
section of groups are automatically generated, and include both permanent groups and temporary groups.

Permanent Groups

Permanent Groups include All References, Unfiled, and Trash. These are groups that you cannot remove
or rename. All References displays every reference in the library. Unfiled displays those references that
are not part of a custom group or smart group. Trash is a holding place for references you have removed
from the library but have not yet permanently discarded by emptying the Trash.

Temporary Groups

Temporary Groups include Copied References, Duplicate References, Imported References, Search
Results and several Full Text groups. These temporary groups may be replaced as you use commands in
EndNote, and are always deleted when you close a library. (Only the groups are deleted; the references
remain in the library.)

Custom Groups

Custom Groups are manually created by the user to help organise the library; you can drag-and-drop to
copy individual references into a custom group. Custom Groups are listed alphabetically (click the My
Library header to toggle between ascending and descending order).

Smart Groups

Smart Groups use search criteria to dynamically update groups as existing references are edited or new
references are added to the library.

7.2 The Groups Pane

The left pane of the Library window lists the groups in the current library, along with a record count for each
group. A new library may have very few groups. The All References and Trash groups are permanent, and
cannot be removed.

Click a minus sign (-) next to a group set heading to hide the list of groups under that heading. Click a plus
sign (+) next to a group set heading to display the list of groups in that group set. You can drag the
separator bar between the group name list and the reference list to adjust the size of the panes.

Author: Jessica Eustace-Cook ([email protected])
Version: 1, Date: July 2011
You may not always want to display groups, as that pane takes up screen space. From the Groups menu,
choose Hide Groups or Show Groups.

7.3 Using Groups in EndNote

The left pane of the library window lists groups of saved references. In a new library, only the All
References group contains references; it displays all of the references in the library. However, you can add
up to 500 custom and smart groups to a library.

A custom group is built by specifically adding individual references to the group. A smart group is compiled
automatically, and is based on a search strategy.

7.3.1 To create a custom group and add references to it:

1. From the Groups menu, select Create Group. (Or, you could right click under My Groups in the Groups
pane to display a context-sensitive menu, and then select Create Group.)

In the Groups pane of the Library window, a group titled New Group
is now highlighted for editing.
1 Type Chapter 1 as the group name, and then press ENTER or click
in the reference list area to save the change. There are no references in the new group; the reference list
displays All References.
2 In the Author column, highlight the first reference by Smith and the first reference by ODowd. To select
non-contiguous references, hold down the CTRL key as you click on them.
3 Drag the selected (highlighted) references to the new Chapter 1 group and drop them on the title of the
group. (Or, you could go to the Groups menu and choose Add References To> Chapter 1.)
4 Click on the Chapter 1 group to display the two references now included in the group.

Chapter Eight:
8.1 Using Reference or Citation Styles in Endnote
EndNote will format your references in a specified bibliographic (output) style. The selected output style
will determine the format of the citations within the text of the document you are producing and format the
corresponding bibliography at the end of the document. The Output Style is displayed on the EndNote
Toolbar.

8.1.1 Viewing References in a Particular Style:

To view references formatted in a selected style (e.g. MLA):
1.In youre my EndNote Library.enl library click on the drop down list for the Output Style Window.
2.Select, Select another Style
3.Click on Quick Search and enter MLA into the search box.
4.Two options are displayed. Select MLA and click on the Choose button.

5.MLA should now be displayed in the Output Style Window.

You can click Insert (not the triangle) to quickly select the default Insert command.
EndNote not only inserts a citation, but Instant Formatting formats the citation in the currently selected style
and adds it to a formatted bibliography at the end of the paper. EndNote automatically creates a link from
the citation to the bibliography. If you have multiple bibliographies (for example, one at the end of each
chapter and one at the end of the document), you can link in-text citations to the reference list at
the end of each section and/or chapter.

6. Word 2003: From the Tools menu, go to the EndNote X5 submenu, and then click Find Citation(s).
Word 2007 and 2010: On the EndNote tab, in the Citations group, click the Insert Citation icon.
7. Type the date 2008 into the text box, and then click Find. EndNote searches all fields and lists the
matching references.
8. Select the reference by the author ODowd, and then click Insert. EndNote inserts the citation, and Cite
While You Write technology formats it and adds it to the bibliography at the end of the paper.
9. Assume that you have finished inserting citations in your paper.

9.1.2 Inserting a Citation or Reference using Drag and Drop

1. Open your word document.
2. Open your Endnote Library and highlight the reference you want to enter. Keep your finger on the
left button of your mouse and drag the highlighted reference to where you want your reference to
appear in your word document.
3. Your reference should now appear within your text.

Version: 1, Date: July 2011
 4. Click on the Update your Citation and Bibliography button in your Endnote tab. This will reformat
the page and put your reference into your bibliography at the end of your document.
5. This method must be repeated each time you use the drag and drop reference

9.2 Formatting your Bibliography and Citations in a Word Document

You can format your citations and bibliography as many times as you like, changing the output style and
various other layout settings each time.
9.2.1 To select the bibliographic style used for formatting:
1. Word 2003: From Words Tools menu, go to the EndNote X5 submenu and choose Format
Bibliography.
2. Word 2007 and 2010: On the EndNote tab, in the Bibliography group, click the bottom corner arrow.
3. A Format Bibliography dialog appears where you can select a bibliographic style.

4. You can also turn off underlining and linked in-text citations by clearing the two check boxes.
Styles contain instructions for how EndNote will format citations and the bibliography. Some styles
sequentially number citations, and then insert a numbered reference list at the end of the paper. Other
styles insert Author-Date citations.

As you can see, there are other formatting options available here; you can make changes that override the
settings in the current output style.

5. For this example, click the Browse button next to With output style to display the list of output styles
supplied with EndNote.
6. Select the Harvard style, and then click OK. You can sort the list of styles by Name or by Category by
clicking on a column header.
7. Click OK to leave the Format Bibliography dialog. EndNote automatically updates the existing citations
and regenerates the bibliography in the Harvard style.
Your document text should look similar to this:

9.3 Edit a Citation:

If you directly edit a citation or the bibliography, the changes will be lost when you Format Bibliography
again because EndNote reformats according to the rules of the selected output style. To make and retain
changes to all citations and/or the bibliography, modify the output style. However, if you want to make a
change to an individual citation, use the Edit Citation command as described below.

A Beginners Guide to Using EndNote X5 for PC

Author: Jessica Eustace-Cook ([email protected])
Version: 1, Date: July 2011
For some bibliographic styles, the majority of references are cited in an Author, Date format; but if the
authors name is mentioned within the paragraph text, the style dictates that the name not be repeated in
the citation.
9.3.1.To edit an individual citation:
1. Click anywhere Smith citation you wish to change
2. Word 2003: From the Tools menu, go to the EndNote X5 submenu, and then click Edit & Manage
Citation(s).
Word 2007 and 2010: On the EndNote tab, in the Citations group, click Edit & Manage Citation(s).

3. Select the appropriate citation from the list at the left of the dialog (you can scroll through all citations in
the document) and make any of the following changes to the highlighted citation:
Exclude Author: Select this to omit the author name from the formatted citation.
Exclude Year: Select this to omit the date from the formatted citation.
Prefix: Enter text here to print immediately before the citation text (spaces are significant).
Suffix: Enter text here to print after the citation text (spaces are significant).
Pages: Enter page numbers here to print as Cited Pages. To print, the Cited Pages field
must be
listed in the citation template or footnote template of the output style.

4. You can add or remove citations from a multiple citation, or change the order of citations.
Insert: Use this to add another citation within the same set of delimiters.
Remove: Highlight a citation and click Remove to delete it from the in-text citation.
Up and Down Arrows: Highlight a reference and use the arrows to change the order
of display. (If a Citation Sort Order is applied by the current output style, using this dialog to
change the order of citations in a multiple citation has no effect.)

5. Click OK to implement your change(s).

NOTE: Typing cited page numbers in this the pages box does not guarantee that they will appear in your
citation. You must use an output style that lists the Cited Pages field in the Citation template. You can edit
any style to include this special field.

NOTE: In the future, if you need to make changes to the paper such as adding or deleting citations or text,
just do the necessary updates in your paper. If you want to change the output style or bibliography layout
settings, choose the Format Bibliography command again. EndNote will reformat the in-text citations and
generate a new bibliography based on your changes.

9.4 To Delete a Reference or Citation
To delete references:
1. Select (highlight) those references you want to delete.
2. Do one of these, which moves the selected references to the Trash group:
Drag the selected references and drop them on the Trash group.
From the References menu, choose Move References to Trash.
From the Edit menu, choose Cut, which also stores the references temporarily on the Clipboard.
From the Edit menu, choose Clear.
3. When you are absolutely certain that you want to delete the references in the Trash, go to the
References menu and choose Empty Trash.
4. You must confirm that you want to remove the references from the library.

Note: You cannot undo the Empty Trash command, so be sure you want to delete the reference(s) in
Trash before dismissing the EndNote warning.

5. Display All References again to continue working in your library.

Chapter Ten:
3.1. Footnotes and EndNotes using EndNote
Once you have created a footnote or EndNote in Word, you can cite references in that footnote or EndNote
just like you cite them in the body of the document.

10.1.1 To Cite a Reference in a Footnote or EndNote:

1. Use the appropriate command in Word to create the footnote or EndNote. (EndNote does not create the
footnote or EndNote)
2. Position the cursor in the footnote or EndNote where you would like the citation(s) to appear.
3. Insert the citation as you normally would. The EndNote style that is selected when you choose Format
Bibliography determines how citations in footnotes and EndNotes are formatted. EndNote can format these
citations as brief in-text citations or like complete references in the bibliography. It can also create a special
format specific to footnotes or EndNotes, including options like Ibid. and other variations of shortened
references when a citation appears more than once in the footnotes or EndNotes.

If you are citing full references in footnotes, you can include specific page numbers to be formatted like a
regular EndNote field.

10.2 Footnote Templates:

Click Templates under the Bibliography or Footnotes heading to see the templates for how those
references are formatted.

A Beginners Guide to Using EndNote X5 for PC

Author: Jessica Eustace-Cook ([email protected])
Version: 1, Date: July 2011
For footnote and bibliography templates, each has a Generic template, and other reference-type-specific
templates to format the various reference types in a bibliography.

The following examples show how journal articles, books, and book sections, respectively, would be
formatted with the Numbered style. Notice that each reference type is formatted differently, which is why
different templates are required:

1. Emiliani, C., Competitive evolution. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1982. 97: p. 13-33.
2. Jones, V.R., The Theory of Foraging, B.J. Bloggs, Editor. 1976, Smith and Barnes: New York.
3. Whitney, J.R., T.V. Billoski, and V.R. Jones, Evidence for Triceratops in Antarctica, in New Directions in
Paleontology, T.V. Billoski, Editor. 1987, Academic Press: New York. p.24-27.

Generic Template

The Generic template is used to format references that use the Generic reference type or do not have their
own template in the
style. For example, if a Book template had not been included in the style, book references would be
formatted using the Generic template.

Other Reference Type Templates

The rest of the templates in the style tell EndNote how to format specific reference types, such as journals,
books, and book sections. If a check mark appears next to a reference type in the Reference Type list, a
template is already defined for it (you can edit the template).

10.2.1 Footnote Template Options

Styles have varying requirements for how citations in footnotes should be formatted. The options at the top
of the Footnote Templates panel allow for the different conditions.

For some styles, citations in footnotes are formatted just like intext citations (in the body of the paper). In
that case, there is no need to create a special template for footnotes, simply choose the Same As In-text
option from the Footnote Format options. For those styles, you can set the footnote format option to Same
as Bibliography.

However, if you need the footnotes to use their own special format (most styles for the humanities require
this), you would choose the option to format citations in footnotes with a unique footnote format. For this
option, you need to define the templates for how citations in footnotes should be formatted.

10.3 Citing References in Footnotes and Endnotes (OpenOffice.org

Writer)
Once you have created a footnote or endnote in OpenOffice.org Writer, you can cite references in that
footnote or endnote just like you cite them in the body of the document.

10.3.1 To cite a reference in a footnote or endnote:

Use the appropriate command in OpenOffice.org Writer to create the footnote or endnote. (EndNote does
not create the footnote or endnote in the document, but is used to insert and format citations in the note.)

1. Position the cursor in the footnote or endnote where you would like the citation(s) to appear.
2. Insert the citation as you normally would.
3. The EndNote style that is selected when you choose Format Bibliography determines how citations in
footnotes and endnotes are formatted. EndNote can format these citations as brief in-text citations or
like complete references in the bibliography. It can also create a special format specific to footnotes or
endnotes, including options like "Ibid." and other variations of shortened references when a citation
appears more than once in the footnotes or endnotes.

Chapter Eleven:
11.1 Creating a Travelling Library
Each formatted citation in your Word document is saved with field codes that embed reference data in the
document. The paper contains a "Traveling Library" of references cited.

The first time a citation is formatted, EndNote looks in the open library and finds the corresponding
reference. If you later reformat, EndNote again looks in the open library for that reference. However, if
the library is not available or not open, EndNote uses the Traveling Library for reference information.

Because reference data is kept with each formatted citation, you can collaborate with other authors on
a paper without each author having the same EndNote library.

The reference data saved with each citation includes all fields except Notes, Abstract, and Figure.
Note: Do not unformat your document if you do not have the original references in your libraries.
Unlike formatted citations, unformatted citations require that you have the corresponding EndNote
libraries open in order to format references.

11.1.1 Exporting Words Traveling Library to an EndNote Library

1. Open the document in Word.

2. Word 2003 : From the Tools menu, go to the EndNote X5 submenu and choose Export Traveling
Library.

Word 2007and 2010 : On the EndNote tab, in the Tools group, select Export to EndNote and then Export
Traveling Library .

3. On the Export Traveling Library dialog, select either:

An existing EndNote library or select a library from the drop-down list of available libraries, or click
Browse to locate a library.
A new EndNote library: You will be prompted to name and Save the new library.

Note: We recommend that you export to a new EndNote library, so you can review the records before
adding them to an existing library.

There is an alternate way to copy references from your Word document to an EndNote library. Open both
your Word document and the EndNote library. Then, in EndNote, go to the Tools menu, then the Cite While
You Write submenu, and choose Import Traveling Library.

Note: When you use the Export/Import Traveling Library commands, the exported references are
renumbered and do not retain their original reference numbers.

11.2 Removing Field Codes or Convert to Plain Text for Publishing
from a Word document
You may need to remove Cite While You Write field codes in order to share your document with a
publisher or colleague.

If your colleague is using the same version of Word that you are, you can share your formatted
document as is; the document includes a Traveling Library, which includes all required information for
the formatted citations and bibliography.

If your colleague is using a different word processor or an incompatible version of Word, you could remove
field codes to share your final document. However, removing field codes saves the formatted citations and
bibliography as text, and does not allow reformatting.

Removing field codes means deleting Words Cite While You Write field codes and saving the formatted
citations and bibliography as text. This removes only Cite While You Write field codes, and not all other
Word field codes.

When field codes are removed, in-text figure citations are no longer linked to an EndNote reference or to
the figure list. In- text figure citations become plain text. Pictures in the figure list become GIF files as
though they were copied and pasted into the document.

Because EndNote and Cite While You Write cannot reformat or unformat your paper once field codes are
removed, the Remove Field Codes command ( Convert to Plain Text in Word 2007) makes a copy of your
document without codes.

Note: If you are working with master and subdocuments in Word, the Remove Field Codes or Convert to
Plain Text command warns that it will strip codes from the original documents. You should first manually
save copies of the master and subdocuments, and then remove codes from the copies.

11.2.1 To remove field codes and save the formatted citations and bibliography as
text:
1. Open your formatted Word document.

2. If you are working with Master and Subdocuments, work with copies of your documents.

Word 2003 : From the Tools menu, go to the EndNote X5 submenu and select Remove Field Codes.

Word 2007 : On the EndNote tab, in the Bibliography group, select Convert Citations and Bibliography and
then Convert to Plain Text . A copy of the document, without field codes, appears in a new document
window.

Word 2003: From the File menu, Save the document.

Word 2007 : Click the Office icon and then Save .

3. Single document: In Words Save As dialog, type a new name for this copy of your document and click
OK.

4. Master and Subdocuments: You may be advised to save a copy of the master and each subdocument.

5. Word saves your document without embedded formatting codes, so you can submit your paper to a
publisher or share your final paper with a colleague using a different word processor (including a different
version of Word).

Note: The copy does not contain Cite While You Write field codes, so you cannot reformat with Cite While
You Write. To reformat, start with the original document, which retains field codes.

If you find that removing EndNote field codes produces undesired layout or other formatting changes to
your document, you can remove all Microsoft Word field codes, which may yield better results.

11.3 To remove all Microsoft Word field codes:

1. First save a backup copy of your document, because this will irretrievably remove the links between
your document and your EndNote libraries as well as all other Word field codes.

2. Select all text in the document by pressing Ctrl +A.

3. Press Ctrl +6 to remove all Microsoft Word field codes from the document (not just Cite While You Write
codes!) and leave the text, citations, and bibliography as they appear.

12.1 Using Endnote with Endnote Web
You can easily transfer references (including file and figure attachments) from an EndNote
desktop library to an EndNote Web library or from an EndNote Web library to an EndNote
desktop library.

Important Points about Transferring References

Please note these limitations before attempting to transfer references between EndNote and EndNote
Web:
EndNote X5 desktop users are entitled to a two-year subscription to EndNote Web that includes
the ability to transfer references with file and figure attachments.
EndNote X5 desktop users who also subscribe to Web of Knowledge are entitled to a free
subscription of EndNote Web for the life of the Web of Knowledge subscription. Your subscription
includes the ability to transfer references with file and figure attachments. However, your
subscription to EndNote Web does not include all of the features available in the premium version
of EndNote Web.
You must have an active Internet connection to transfer references between EndNote desktop and
EndNote Web.
If you plan to transfer references (including file and figure attachments) from an EndNote Web
library to an EndNote desktop library, the desktop library must allow read-write access. Make sure
the file itself allows read-write access, and make sure it is not on a read-only CD or a locked
partition.
Due to server resources, there may be a limit to the number of references you can transfer at one
time. There is also a size limit (approximately 1,024 MB) to the number of files and figures you can
transfer. If you attempt to transfer more than the limit, you will be notified.

12.1.1 Browser Requirements

EndNote Web is accessed through a browser, so you must have one of the following browsers installed on
your computer:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.x - 8.x
Firefox 3.5.x - 3.6.x*
Safari 4.x

Cookies and Javascript must be enabled in your browser settings.

12.2 Set up a new EndNote Web
Set up a new EndNote Web account in one of these ways:
The first time you start EndNote after installing or upgrading, you are given the option of setting up
a new EndNote Web account.
In EndNote, go to the EndNote Web section in the Groups pane and select Configure. Click
Register Online.
In EndNote, go to the Edit menu and select Preferences. In the left column, click on EndNote Web.
Then, click Register Online.

Follow the instructions to create a new EndNote Web account. If you need more information about
EndNote Web, or subscription assistance, go to http://www.endnoteweb.com/enwebinfo.asp

12.3 Transferring References between EndNote Web and EndNote

12.3.1 Select an EndNote Library:

You should first select an EndNote desktop library before transferring records to and from EndNote Web.

1. From the File menu, select Open.

2. Select the library to which you want to transfer records to and from EndNote Web. The selected
library becomes the active library.

Note: If a library is designated read-only, a symbol of a lock will appear next to the file name. To transfer
references to a library, the library must have read-write access.

12.3.2 Initiate the connection to EndNote Web:

From the Tools menu, select EndNote Web.

If you have already saved EndNote Web preferences, you will be connected to EndNote Web. If
not, you will be prompted to enter connection details for one-time use, so that they are not
remembered later.

In the Groups pane, under EndNote Web, click Transfer.

This option is available only if you have already saved EndNote Web preferences.

12.3.3 On the EndNote Web Transfer References dialog:

1. From the Web menu, select the appropriate EndNote Web folder. You will be able to transfer
references to and from this folder.
2. Determine whether you are transferring references to or from your EndNote desktop library.

Transfer References from Web to Desktop

You can allow duplicates or discard duplicates during the transfer. EndNote will use the
duplicate settings indicated in your EndNote preferences.
Transfer References from Desktop to Web
You can transfer only the showing references or all references found in the library.
You can click the Web Library Info button to see how many references are currently in the
selected Web library and how many more references can be added to it before reaching
the maximum limit.
Include File and Figure Attachments
You can include both file and figure attachments when you transfer references from
EndNote desktop to EndNote Web and from EndNote Web to EndNote desktop.

Note: Only attachments with relative links are transferred. For information about converting

 to relative links or determining whether attachments include relative links, see Selecting a
Relative Path or an Absolute Path for File Attachments in Help.

3. Click Transfer to start transferring references, along with any file and/or figure attachments.

When the process is completed, a message will tell you how many references were transferred. If you
transfer references from EndNote Web, then the name of the EndNote Web folder will appear under the
EndNote Web group name.

Note: If the first two options are not available to you (greyed out), you likely have selected an EndNote
library that is read-only. Make sure the file allows read-write access, and make sure it is not on a locked
partition, a read-only CD, or any other read-only media.

Note: You can click Cancel to stop the transfer process. It may take a few moments to stop the operation,
as the current cache of references will be processed first. A message will tell you how many references
were already transferred before you cancelled the operation.

12.4 Transfer Rules for File Attachments

When transferring references with attachments, all new attachments are transferred in both directions
regardless of the selected transfer direction. That is, attachments are added to both sides during a transfer
even though the transfer occurs in one direction.

For example, let us assume Reference X in EndNote desktop has three attachments. The same Reference
X in EndNote Web has two different attachments. During the transfer process, desktop transfers the three
attachments to EndNote Web. At the same time, EndNote Web transfers the two attachments to desktop.
The two references now share the same attachments.

The following rules will apply if you have installed EndNote X5 and have an account with EndNote Web.
These rules are controlled by your accounts limits.

EndNote desktop normally has a limit of 45 file attachments per reference. That is, you can only
attach 45 files to a desktop reference. However, if you transfer file attachments from EndNote
Web, a reference in desktop can end up with more than 45 attachments.
EndNote Web has no limit on the number of file attachments per reference. When transferring
references with attachments from EndNote Web to EndNote desktop, all attachments are
transferred to desktop even if this number exceeds the 45 file attachment limit.
Both EndNote desktop and EndNote Web can have only one figure attachment per reference.
When performing a transfer, if both the desktop reference and the Web reference contains a figure
attachment, the one that remains after the transfer is determined by the transfer direction. The
other figure attachment is overwritten. For example, you perform a transfer from desktop to Web,
the desktop figure attachment will appear in both references.
In EndNote desktop, attachments appear in a reference in the order in which they are attached.
Moreover, they are appended to the order of existing attachments.
In EndNote Web, all attachments appear in alphabetical order.
If you delete an attachment from a reference in EndNote desktop, then you must manually delete
that attachment from the reference in EndNote Web and vice-versa if you wish to keep the two
references in sync.
Some files may be automatically renamed after they are transferred from EndNote Web to the
desktop because the path is too long and when the file names are identical.
Due to server resources, there may be a limit to the number of references you can transfer at one
time. There is also a size limit (approximately 1,024 MB) to the number of files and figures you can
transfer. If you attempt to transfer more than the limit, you will be notified.

12.5 Deletion Rules for File Attachments
File attachments that have been transferred, but are then deleted from either EndNote desktop or EndNote
Web will appear on both sides during a subsequent transfer. You must manually delete an attachment in
both EndNote desktop and EndNote Web to keep the two references in common.
For example, let us assume that you transfer Reference X (containing an attachment) from EndNote
desktop to EndNote Web. Later, you delete the attachment from the desktop reference but you decide to
keep the attachment in the Web reference.
Later, you perform another transfer of Reference X (either from desktop to Web or vice-versa) and the
reference contains a new attachment. In this instance, the new attachment is transferred. The attachment
that you previously removed from the desktop reference is automatically restored when the transfer
process completes.

12.6 Regularly Updating a Transferred Reference List

You may regularly add references to your EndNote Web folder and update your EndNote desktop library
with the additions (or vice versa).

To update your desktop library, set these options on the EndNote Web Transfer References dialog:

Select the appropriate EndNote Web folder.

Select the option to Transfer References from Web to Desktop.

Each time you transfer references from the same EndNote Web folder, the matching references are
replaced in your desktop library.

A matching reference is a reference that was entered once and then was transferred from EndNote Web to
desktop or from EndNote desktop to EndNote Web. If you entered the same reference twice, once in
EndNote Web, and then again in EndNote desktop, the records will be flagged with different Reference
numbers and will be considered duplicates rather than exact matches. If you check the box to allow
duplicates, your library could contain multiple copies of the same references.

Note: EndNote will use the duplicate settings indicated in your EndNote preferences.

References are never deleted when you transfer references. To permanently delete a reference from both
the desktop library and the EndNote Web folder, you must delete the reference in both places.

12.7 Saving EndNote Web References to a Custom Group

You may occasionally want to save a set of EndNote Web references to a custom group.

To save an EndNote Web group as a custom group:

1. In the Groups pane, under EndNote Web, click on a group to display the list of references.
2. To select all references in the list, first click in the list, and then go to the Edit menu and choose
Select All.
3. From the References menu, select Add References To > New Group.
4. Name and save the new group.
