Introduction to Endnote

What is Endnote?

Create and manages reference lists.

Enables searching of reference "libraries" by author,


keyword, date, etc.

In Word documents, automatically formats the references


in APA format for you.

Many online databases allow references to be sent


directly into Endnote.

Can also store and organise images, graphs, tables, etc.


Entering References:

Three ways:

(a) Manually type them in.

(b) Save files from online search facilities.

retrieve the references directly to your Endnote

Information about References:

Each Reference:
Stores all the information needed to cite it in a reference
list (e.g. in a lab report or essay).

Within a library, each reference has a unique record


number which cannot be changed.

The fields (author, year etc) can be modified, deleted or


new ones added.

There are many reference types (book, journal article,


newpaper article, chart, equation, etc...)
Downloading references from the Web of Knowledge:

2. Scroll down to "Web of Knowledge":
3. Click on "Web of Knowledge":
4. Click on "Web of Science":
4. Perform your search:
5. Tick the references you want to retain.
6. Click on "Save to Endnote...".
References are exported to your chosen Endnote library:
NB: shows only the new references (click on "Show all
references" to see earlier entries).
Downloading citations from ScienceDirect:

Using Endnote with Word
Endnote adds an extra menu within Microsoft Word:
Referencing conventions:
In essays and lab-reports, all cited work must be properly
referenced, by a reference in the text (author surname and
date of publication), and an entry in a reference list that
contains complete details of each reference:

In the text: "Field and Hole (2003) give lots of useful


advice". Or "Learning statistics has been shown to be
easier than people think (Field and Hole, 2003)".

In the reference list: Field, A. and Hole, G. (2003). How to


design and report experiments. London: Sage.

Problem is that the conventions for this differ slightly


between journals (although most use "A.P.A. format").
Inserting references in the text:
Start Word and open the document you are writing.
To cite a source, position the cursor where you want the
reference to appear, then click on "Insert Selected Citation":
Endnote
(a) adds the reference in the text;
(b) adds the full reference to a reference list at the end of the
document
- correctly-formated and in alphabetical order!

This is a load of rubbish I'm writing in order to show you how to use "Endnote"
(Duck and Mouse 2007). Here's some more tosh that I've just typed (Sooty and
Sweep 2007), and yet more (Lala, Tinky-winky et al. 2007).

Duck, D. and M. Mouse (2007). "Our living hell: life as prisoners in Disneyland."
Animal Behaviour 29(5): 179-199.

Lala, Tinky-winky, et al. (2007). "Effects of the media on body-image in telly-


tubbies." Journal of banal research 99: 201-203.

Sooty and Sweep (2007). Hands up: we don't have a leg to stand on. Congleton,
Garbage Books Inc.
Formatting the Bibliography:
You can format the references in different styles by
choosing ‘Format Bibliography’ from the Endnote menu.

Use "APA 5th" as your output style
