What is Endnote?
Software for managing references. Import citations from databases; add your own references from scratch; produce bibliographies and insert citations direct into your dissertation. Endnote may be used with both the Harvard and APA systems and for legal referencing. Only available on campus.
How do I access Endnote?
- Open Microsoft Word. The Endnote toolbar may appear.
- Otherwise, select Tools > Go to Endnote.
- Create a new EndNote library and click OK.
- Name your library e.g. project.enl and save it to your M: drive.
- You are now ready to add references to your EndNote library.
Tips
- Follow the guidance in our WebCT Endnote tutorial.
- Each database interacts slightly differently with Endnote.
- Science Direct is an easy one to try: perform your search, click in the boxes next to any search results, click on Export citations and open your Endnote file when prompted.
- Some databases e.g. CIS and IEEE are not compatible.
- You can add references manually – but be careful to select the appropriate reference type (e.g. Internet for a website).
- When importing new references, click on References > Show all, otherwise you will only see most recent additions.
Bonus feature
- The “Cite while you write” feature enables you to insert citations directly into your Word document and it automatically creates your bibliography as you go along.
