- 12. ∂ References A reference contains at least: – Author, title, year of publication. Books contain, additionally – Place of publication (city), publisher. Articles contain, additionally – Journal, pages. You can also have book sections, conference reports, etc.
- 13. ∂ Libraries - 1 A library is a collection of Endnote references. The view consists of: – A list of references. – How your selected reference will look in the bibliography (determined by the output style (q.v.)). If you have multiple libraries open, Endnote uses the top one.
- 14. ∂ Libraries - 2 The most important thing to do with a library is: BACK IT UP!! Put it on your J: drive, but keep a separate copy. Similarly with any edited output styles. Libraries are name.enl files. Output styles are name.ens files.
- 15. ∂ Sorting a Library References/Sort References Choose the fields to sort on Often useful for separating books from articles – so you can print the book library codes to go and find them.
- 16. ∂ Citing References Done from within Word. In Endnote, highlight the reference to insert. In Word, select Tools/Endnote 9/Insert Selected Citation(s). The reference will appear, and also be added to the bibliography as necessary.
- 17. ∂ Output Style The style of the citation and bibliography varies from subject to subject (and even within subjects). You might be lucky and find Endnote has an adequate style… … BUT … …you’ll more likely need to edit an existing style.
- 18. ∂ Editing Styles -1 Start with something close to what you want. Click ‘Edit/Output Styles / Edit “style”. Click Citations/Template to change the fields in the citation. Click Bibliography/Template to change the fields in the bibliography. Save the style.
- 19. ∂ Editing Styles - 2 A modified author - date style demands: Books: author, title, (place: publisher, year). Articles: author, ‘title’, journal, volume, year, page range. Chapters in books: author, ‘title’, in editor, title, (place: publisher, year), page range.
- 20. ∂ Editing Styles - 3 Bibliography: – Author’s surname first, only done for first author. – Always include page range.
- 21. ∂ Page Numbers For some references you will need to add page numbers. Add ‘Cited Pages’ to your citation template. In the document, click on the citation to highlight it and select ‘Tools/Endnote 9/Edit Citation Add ‘, p number’ in the pages box.
- 22. ∂ Articles Often you have to type in article references for yourself Sometimes, you can download a text file of citations and import it (e.g. ZETOC from the British Library) BUT Some of the providers have come to your rescue!
- 23. ∂ Articles - 2 From JSTOR you can now import directly into your Endnote library: Perform your search Save the citations Choose ‘Directly Export..’ You will have to point to Endnote X and select the library.
- 24. ∂ Articles - 3 This also works with Ingenta Connect and Synergy, but the details differ. You can also download a PDF copy of the article and link it from your reference. Note: Normal copyright rules for usage apply!
- 25. ∂ Articles - 4 You can load articles into Endnote from the British Library electronic table of contents (Zetoc) catalogue (zetoc.mimas.ac.uk). A similar process (with some differences) should work for many similar sites. Perform your search and select your records. Click on download. Select short labels. Click on send file.
- 26. ∂ Articles - 5 Save the file with a suitable name in a suitable place. In Endnote select File/Import. From the dialog box click on ‘Import File’ and navigate to your recently saved file. From the Import Option drop down box, select ‘Other Filters’ and then find the filter ‘zetoc (MIMAS)’. Click on ‘Import’. Your references should appear in your Endnote library.
- 27. ∂ Gotcha! A common problem: If you change a reference after citing it in a document, your old citation will not be changed. To fix, remove it from your document and redo the citing.
- 28. ∂ Gotcha Again! Another common problem is weird symbols appearing instead of references – it looks like HTML. This is caused by the Endnote field codes, and probably occurred because you accidentally pressed Alt-F9 in Word. In Word go to Tools/Options and uncheck the Field Codes box to remove.
- 29. ∂ The Most Important Bit Where to find help: The Manual – your first port of call. Web Site: – http://adeptscience.co.uk/products/refman/endnote/ ITS helpdesk.
