NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY WORKBOOK

1: GETTING STARTED WITH ENDNOTE


OVERVIEW
In this task you will learn how to open EndNote and create your first EndNote library.
An EndNote library is where your references are stored. It is a single file which you save on your own
filespace it has a .enl file extension (eg. endnotelibrary.enl). You can create several EndNote libraries if
you wish in order to organise your references, for example by subject, chapter or assignment
(alternatively you can use Groups to organise references see a later task).
OPENING ENDNOTE FROM A CLUSTER PC
STEP 1

Click on Start > All Programs > Database Software > EndNote > EndNote program
You may see a pop-up warning when running EndNote (depending on your web
browser). It is a safe program authorised for use on campus, so allow it to run.

STEP 2

The first time you use EndNote you will a


screen similar to the one shown this
varies depending on the version.
EndNote X5:
Click Finish (do not select the checkbox).

EndNote X4:
Select Do not integrate with EndNote Web
at this time, click Next and Finish.

EndNote Web is an online version of EndNote that can be accessed anywhere. It


doesn't have as many features as desktop EndNote but can be a useful additional
tool.

COPYING AND BACKING-UP YOUR ENDNOTE LIBRARIES


When working with EndNote it is important to back-up your library.
This information is for reference if you are attending a workshop, please move on
to the next task.

Copying and moving your library


Your EndNote library is made up of a set of files a main .enl file and a supporting
.DATA folder which contains associated files (PDFs, images etc). You can copy and
move these files around like any other file eg to a laptop or USB drive.
Important
When copying or moving a library, you need to move both the .enl file and
the .DATA folder.
Do not put anything else into your .DATA folder.
The .DATA folder is created automatically and should not be deleted.
Making a compressed back-up copy of your library
This technique will automatically save and compress your library and associated
.DATA folder into a single file.
Go to File > Compressed Library (.enlx)
A new box will appear. Select Create, With File Attachments and All
References in Library.
Click on Next
Save the compressed library with a name you will recognise
Note the file extension changes to .enlx

catalogue or a journal database.
OPENING A NEW REFERENCE TEMPLATE
STEP 1

STEP 2

From the menu across the top of your library, click on the New Reference icon

This will open a New Reference


window.
Notice that Journal Article is
chosen as the Reference Type by
default.
You don't need to enter
information into every field in the
reference template, but you must
fill in the first few fields which
describe the key bibliographic
information.

ENTERING BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION


STEP 3

Start by entering details of the article authors [you can use the examples below or
use your own examples]. Note that each author's name must be added on a new line.
Type in the first author : Lillis, T and press enter/return
Type in the second author: Turner, J
Now enter further information - press the TAB key to move between fields:

but be careful to close only the
reference and not EndNote!)
If you see a pop-up window at this
stage, see the note below.
The first time you save a reference
you will see a pop-up window

5: IMPORTING REFERENCES USING FILTERS


OVERVIEW
This task covers importing references from an online database using a filter. The task will use the CSA
Illumina database to demonstrate the use of filters.
Many databases, like Web of Knowledge and Scopus, have inbuilt filters which import search results

10: ATTACHING PDFs AND OTHER FILES


OVERVIEW
Many different file types can be attached to EndNote references, whether this is a PDF file of the full
article, an image or table to reference or a Word document. The process for attaching files is the same.
You can search the full-text of attached PDFs from within EndNote. Importing multiple PDFs from a
database into EndNote is covered in another task.
If you want to use the Insert Figure feature in Word Cite While You Right, you will need to use the Attach
Figure option in EndNote (see task 14: ATTACHING AND INSERTING FIGURES).
EndNote will allow you to attach a variety of file types including:

Audio files (wav, mp3)


Microsoft Access , Excel, PowerPoint and Word files
Microsoft Project files, Microsoft Visio files

14: ATTACHING AND INSERTING FIGURES


OVERVIEW
Images and tables can be used to explain and demonstrate points you are trying to make. Attaching the
image or table to your EndNote reference means they are easily accessible and always associated with
the original source.
It is possible to attach a wide variety of files to an EndNote reference but there is a specific option to
Attach Figure. If you use the Attach File option the file will be attached to the File attachments field in
your EndNote reference, whereas with Attach Figure it will be attached to the Figure field. This means it
can be inserted into a Word document using EndNotes Cite While You Write feature and linked to its
original reference.
ATTACHING A FIGURE TO A REFERENCE
Please note: this task requires that you have a figure (an image or table) on your local
filespace ready to upload. If not, please download the sample image

15: INSERTING BLIND REFERENCES IN WORD


OVERVIEW
A blind reference is where a reference appears in your bibliography, but is not referred to in the text (ie
there is no in-text citation).
To do this, you must first insert the citation as normal (ie add an in-text citation) and then tell EndNote to
hide the in-text citation. In order to keep your document tidy, it is a good idea to insert the hidden
citations at the end of your text.
INSERTING A BLIND REFERENCE
STEP 1

Place your cursor at the end of the text in your document and click Go to EndNote.
Select a reference and insert this into your Word document.

STEP 2

In Word, click on the in-text citation. Then follow the instructions for the version of
EndNote you are using:

X5 Highlight the citation and right click. From the menus that appear, select
Edit Citation(s) then Show Only in Bibliography.

X4 Highlight the citation and right click. From the menu that appears select Edit
Citations. In the Edit and Manage Citations window, exclude author and year.
Click OK.

The in-text citation remains but you can no longer see it, so the reference does
appear in the automated bibliography along with anything that does have a visible intext citation.
DELETING A BLIND REFERENCE
STEP 3

To delete blind references select Edit and Manage Citation(s). Highlight the
reference you want to delete and from the drop-down menu select Remove Citation.

16: INSERTING MULTIPLE REFERENCES IN WORD


OVERVIEW
In your Word document you may wish to refer to two or more sources within the same citation brackets.
You can insert multiple citations in two ways either inserting all citations at once or one by one.
INSERTING MULTIPLE CITATIONS AT ONCE
STEP 1

In EndNote press the control key and highlight all the references you wish to
insert into your Word document

While In Word 2007/10 click on the Insert Citations icon

The multiple citations should now appear in your Word document.

INSERTING MULTIPLE CITATIONS ONE AT A TIME


STEP 2

Find and insert your first reference in the normal way.

In Word, place the cursor just inside the last bracket of the citation in which you
want to add another, and insert your next reference in the normal way.

Continue until all the citations you require are inserted.

You will see that EndNote automatically merges your citations together into the
same set of brackets, separated with a semi-colon.

CHANGING THE ORDER OF MULTIPLE CITATIONS


STEP 3

If you find that the citations are not ordered in the way in which you want them to
appear you can change the order as follows:

In Word, on the EndNote ribbon click on Edit & Manage Citations. In the
dialogue box that opens you will see your citations in the order in which they
currently appear in your document
Highlight the citation you wish to move either forwards or backwards in the
brackets and use the up and down arrows on the right-hand side of the dialogue
box to move it into place:

PAGE 35

19: WORKING WITH CHAPTER BIBLIOGRAPHIES


OVERVIEW
When you have multiple chapters in a document, references can be dealt with in different ways:

Treat all the chapters as one document, with one bibliography at the end (see below)
Treat all the chapters as separate documents, each with their own bibliography
Treat all the chapters as separate documents, each with their own bibliography, but with a
complete list of references at the end of the work. (see below)
CREATING ONE BIBLIOGRAPHY AT THE END OF A SINGLE DOCUMENT
STEP 1

If you have several Word documents with individual bibliographies that you wish to
combine into one document with one bibliography, the simplest way to do this is to
unformat the citations in each document, cut and paste the documents together into
one document and format the bibliography to create one collated bibliography.

In Word, from the EndNote toolbar, click Convert Citations and Bibliography
> Convert to Unformatted Citations, for each document.
Copy and paste the documents together into one Word document.
Click Update Citations and Bibliography from the EndNote toolbar in Word
in the merged document.
CREATING CHAPTER BIBLIOGRAPHIES PLUS A FINAL REFERENCE LIST
STEP 2

To do this you need to make sure you have an EndNote library which contains every
reference you have used, but no extra references.
You can then treat each chapter as a separate document, creating a bibliography at
the end as usual and then use your EndNote library to create a complete reference
list as a new document. To create a complete reference list:

Open your EndNote library.


Click on Edit > Select all
Select your required style from the current style menu in the top right-hand
corner by clicking on the down arrow.
Right click over the selected area and click on Copy formatted.
Open a Word document (or go to the end of your thesis) and paste the
references into it.

20: SHARING DOCUMENTS AND LIBRARIES


OVERVIEW
When you add a citation to a Word document, all the reference information is saved in a Traveling
Library, which is hidden in your document by the field codes. If you want to share your document you
can either:

give your colleague a final formatted clean copy in which they cannot alter your references
allow them to add formatted references from a different EndNote library
send a copy of the library to a colleague
Use EndNote Web to share
CREATING A CLEAN COPY OF YOUR DOCUMENT TO SHARE
STEP 1

If you are working with Master and sub documents, make a copy of your
document, to ensure you do not lose the structure
On the EndNote tab, click on Convert Citations and Bibliography
Click on Convert to Plain Text
A copy of the document will be created
Save it with a new file name

Please note:
This version of the document cannot be reformatted in future, so do not add new
references to the clean version, always add them to your working document and
create new clean copies as necessary. You may have to save Master and
subdocuments separately.
ALLOWING COLLEAGUES TO ADD REFERENCES

This is not advised unless you are following the guidelines for group use of EndNote
and all parties understand how it works
If your document contains references inserted from different libraries and you
subsequently try to unformat or reformat it, you may run into problems. You need to
have the corresponding EndNote library open in order to format references.

NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY WORKBOOK

SHARING A LIBRARY
STEP 2

You can send a copy of your EndNote library to someone else but you must also send
them the .DATA folder which is automatically created when you set up an EndNote
library, as it stores extra data such as figures and group information.
To see the .DATA folder:

Go to My Computer (or Windows explorer)


Navigate to your EndNote library and note the associated .DATA folder

The best way to share libraries is to make a compressed back up copy as in


Worksheet 2: Getting Started with EndNote.
USING ENDNOTE WEB TO SHARE LIBRARIES
STEP 3

Set up an EndNoteWeb account

In EndNote, click on Tools > EndNote Web


Create a login ID and password.
In future, to use EndNote web you can go directly to
http://www.myendnoteweb.com/ and login.
Create a library

Hover over the Collect tab and click on New Reference. Type in a few references.

Share your library

Click on the Organize tab.


Click on Manage my Groups and Create New Group (you may have to allow a
popup).
In the window which appears enter a Group name (eg Moiras Group) and click
OK.
Once the group appears in your list you can add the email addresses of people
you want to share with, giving them permission to read or read/write.
See libraries others have shared with you

Click on Manage my Groups and Others Groups.

21: GROUP USE OF ENDNOTE


OVERVIEW
EndNote is not set up for group use, but it is possible to share EndNote libraries if members of the group
agree some basic rules. One member of the group needs to be identified as having overall responsibility
for a shared library.
SHARING LIBRARIES IN A GROUP
STEP 1

The most common problem with group use of EndNote libraries is knowing which is
the latest version of the database.
Approach 1: One member of the group takes total responsibility for maintaining the
database. Other group members send additions which the database manager adds
on their behalf. The library is either placed on a shared drive or sent to group
members on a regular (weekly/ monthly) basis.
Approach 2: Each group member maintains their own database, labelling any new
additions by adding a pre agreed tag (eg the word new in the label field). Every
month, the new records from each group member are exported and added to the
master database. All the new labels are removed and the updated library and
associated .DATA folder redistributed to group members.

GROUP USE ON A SHARED NETWORK SPACE

STEP 2

It is not possible for more than one person to edit an EndNote library at the same
time, but it is possible to allow multiple access for searching and citing references. To
do this, all users need access to a shared network space, which should be set up to
allow read only access to the database. One member of the group can maintain and
update a copy of the library and copy it to the shared space regularly.

22: WRITING ARTICLES USING ENDNOTE


OVERVIEW
One of the frustrating things about writing articles is that if you have an article rejected by one journal
and want to submit it to another, the instructions to authors may ask for different layouts and referencing
styles. You can use EndNote to help you to make changes to your article more easily.
USING MANUSCRIPT TEMPLATES
EndNote supplies some predefined templates for common journals to aid with
writing for these publications. The templates provide the formatting needed for the
publication, such as headings, margins, spacing, pagination, font type and size.
STEP 1

Open EndNote and click on Tools > Manuscript Templates and browse the choices.
To see what a template looks like, click on BiomedCentral (Biology).
This will open a new Word document [note, accept macros to continue] and starts a
wizard to help you enter basic information about your article.
Follow the wizard, making up a title and author(s) to see how it develops the article
structure for you [note, you do not have to use the wizard, just click Finish to leave it]
You can now start adding text by typing in specific sections of the document

USING JOURNAL STYLES

STEP 2

Open EndNote and click on

Edit > Output Styles > Open Style Manager


Use the scroll bar to find the style by journal title [note, you can click on name or
category to re-organise the list for ease of use]
Place a tick in the box to the left of the style you want
Close down the Style Manager
You will now see your chosen journal style in the list of styles available to you in the
drop-down box at the top of your screen. When you navigate to a Word document,
you will see the style is also available to you in the drop-down box within Word.
Select the style and your references will be reformatted accordingly.
If you dont like any of the styles available, you can amend the style (see next task).

NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY WORKBOOK

AMENDING A JOURNAL STYLE


STEP 3

You may find that the style a journal recommends is slightly different from the
standard style provided by EndNote. You can amend an existing style to fit specific
requirements:
Choosing and copying a style to amend

From a campus PC or via the RAS choose a style which is close to what you need*
Locate this style in the folder C:\Program Files\EndNote\Styles (alternatively it
may be in C:\Program Files (x86)\EndNoteX5\Styles)
Right click on the desired style and select copy
Now navigate to an appropriate folder in your personal filespace. Right click and
select Paste. To avoid confusion later, we highly recommend that you rename
your copied style.

Tell EndNote where to find the style you have copied


Please note the instructions below for saving files does not apply for PCs running
Windows 7 as it will automatically locate your style.
For previous operating systems:

In EndNote, go to Edit > Preferences > Folder Locations


In the Styles box on the right, navigate to the place where you saved the style by
opening Select Folder > Select > Apply > OK
[If you are using your own copy of EndNote on a personal PC you do not have to
save a copy of the style, you can simply edit it directly. ]
To amend the style

Go to Edit > Output Styles > Open Style Manager.


Select the style you wish to amend and click on Edit
The box which appears allows you to edit all aspects of the style
Click on Templates under Bibliography in the left column. The right hand window
now shows the detailed layout for each different type of reference. You can
insert or remove fields and change punctuation, fonts etc.
Try changing the way the title displays in a journal reference (perhaps by making
it bold or italic). Highlight the word title and use the buttons in the bar above to
change it to bold or italic or underline. Do the same for a book
Click Yes and save a copy of the amended style.
Close down the style by clicking on the cross in the top right hand corner (be
careful not to close EndNote by mistake)
Test the changes by selecting your amended style in the drop down box at the
top of your EndNote library.

23: TERM LISTS


OVERVIEW
Term Lists are built up automatically in your EndNote library for journal names, author names, and
keywords. They store terms you have already used and automatically offer appropriate ones when you
start typing details into new references. This improves consistency within your library (and can speed up
entry of information into new references). If you enter a new term which is not already in the term list, it
will appear in red to indicate it is a new addition. When you close the reference, the new term is then
saved in the list.
EndNote already has large ready-made subject-focused Journal Title term lists (including Bioscience,
Chemical and Zoological Records). These include the full and abbreviated forms of journal names and can
be used with style settings to get consistent journal names (i.e. all full or all abbreviated) in your
documents bibliographies.
VIEWING AUTOMATICALLY CREATED TERM LISTS
STEP 1

If you have already added references to a library, you can view the terms in a list.

Open your EndNote library


Click on Tools > Open Term List
Select any of the three options: Authors, Journal or Keywords term list. This
will then display the list of terms used in that field by the references in your
library
CREATING NEW TERM LISTS FOR PUBLISHERS
STEP 2

From the Tools menu choose Define Term List


Click on Create List
Enter the name of the new list: Publisher
Click OK
Choose Link Lists and link the Publisher field to the Publisher term list
Click OK
With the Publisher list still selected, click Update List then OK the next box
Click the Terms tab (with Publisher still selected as the list) and you should
find the publishers have now been added to the term list

24: TROUBLESHOOTING
OVERVIEW
This section contains common problems that can happen when using EndNote. If your problem isnt listed
here please email lib-endnotehelp@ncl.ac.uk (SAGE and HASS) or medliaison@ncl.ac.uk (FMS) for
further support.
CORPORATE AUTHOR NOT DISPLAYING CORRECTLY
Note that a corporate author requires a comma entering after the name (eg Author: National Institutes
of Health, ). Otherwise EndNote will format the authors name into lastname/initials format (Author:
Health, N.I.o).
RECOVERING LOST OR CORRUPT LIBRARIES
It is advisable that you create back-up copies of all the EndNote libraries. EndNote will automatically save
any changes you save to your library. However it is important to create back-ups of your libraries in case
the file gets deleted by accident or becomes corrupt. If you have images stored in your library you will
also need to make a backup of DATA.folder. If you have also amended any styles, filters or connections
you may also want to create copies of these as well.
The Windows system creates automatic backup copies of your University file space four times a day and
keeps a total of seven days worth at any one time. ISS have instructions on their website:
http://www.ncl.ac.uk/iss/support/tip/shadowcopy
CORRECTING MISTAKES WHEN USING CITE WHILE YOU WRITE
If you have made a mistake when entering the information into your EndNote library and subsequently
correct it in EndNote, these changes will not always automatically appear in any linked Word documents.

AUTOGROUP FEATURE AND TOGGLING BETWEEN WORD AND ENDNOTE DISABLED IN


ENDNOTE X5/WORD 2010
When using EndNote and Word together, any references included in your Word document appear as a
subset of references in your EndNote library underneath All References in the left-hand menu. This subset
is known as an 'autogroup' and you will see the Word symbol next to it. This autogroup is a temporary
group which is only visible when Word is open.
If, after upgrading to EndNote X5 and Word 2010, you find that autogroups are no longer appearing
and/or you are unable to toggle between EndNote and Word as normal please do the following:
Ensure both Word and your EndNote library are open
In Word, in the EndNote tab, click on Update Citations and Bibliography
You should find that this restores both the autogroup and toggling features.
