EndNote Online

Introduction

Although EndNote Online is free to all UCD full-time students, some may be interested in other bibliographic management software programs including some that are open-access. Wikipedia has an extensive comparison table for over 35 bibliographic/reference management software products at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_reference_management_software

Many of the software vendors also have their own comparison tables or charts.

A simpler version of EndNote Online called EndNote Basic is available freely to all.

From the following EndNote webpage, scroll down to the gray section labeled “Compare features and capacity” to find the table comparing features available in EndNote Basic versus EndNote desktop/Online versions:

Preparing your EndNote Online Library

Before you get started with EndNote Online, you will need to add some plug-ins to enable your Exporting features to work and to set up Microsoft Word for the in-text citing or “Cite While You Write” (CWYW) feature.

Creating Groups in EndNote Online

Adding References to Your EndNote Online Library

You can only create one library in EndNote Online but you use the Groups option to set up topical segregations of your library. Your EndNote Online library can contain up to 50,000references (if you’ve purchased EndNote Desktop and synced with EN online, the reference count is unlimited). You may then have up to 5,000 custom groups in your library. With one large library you can search across the entire library, no matter how many groups you have.

There are several different methods to bring references into your EndNote Online Library.  For NUT 117, we will just cover the Direct Export option from the Web of Science interface and searching in BIOSIS Previews or the Web of Science Core Collection database.

Direct Export for BioAg Related Databases

Most UCD licensed BioAg subject databases enable one to *directly* export source bibliographic information from the database into your EndNote Library. This is the most efficient method for building a large EndNote library very quickly.

EndNote Online works directly with Web of Science databases (such as BIOSIS Previews) and with EBSCO databases (such as Fish, Fisheries & Aquatic Biodiversity Worldwide or SPORTDiscus or Wildlife & Ecology Studies Worldwide)

CLASS EXERCISE: Search BIOSIS Previews and add appropriate references to your EndNote Online Library.

NOTE: Your instructor will also demo using the Capture Reference button to pull records from the PubMed clipboard

Choosing Publication Styles

Using your EndNote Online library, take a look at publication styles that are available by going to Format menu and choosing Bibliography.

CLASS EXERCISE:  Set up three favorite styles, including your preferred or your professor’s citation style type.

________________________________________

EndNote Online Cite While You Write (CWYW)

EndNote Online: CWYW Plug-in Internet Explorer

EndNote Online: CWYW Plug-in MacOS

EndNote Online’s Cite While You Write (CWYW) feature inserts EndNote commands into Word’s Tools menu (or on an EndNote tab in Word 2007 and 2010 for Windows). This provides you with direct access to your EndNote Online references while writing in Microsoft Word. CWYW commands enable EndNote Online to implement bibliographic formatting to the document that is currently open in Word.

CLASS EXERCISE:  Keep EndNote Online Library open and open MS Word. Paste a paragraph of any text (an abstract from a citation in your library works well) into MS Word and pick a favorite style for your discipline
