INTRODUCTION

This workbook accompanies our Introduction to EndNote class, held on campus at Toowoomba, Springfield and Fraser Coast. It

covers the basic functions of EndNote using Windows OS. For a comprehensive overview including use on a Mac, refer to the

Getting Started Guide which is included with the software, or the home of EndNote on the web http://www.endnote.com/

EndNote is a software tool which allows you to create a database of references which becomes your library. The program allows

you to:

import citations and abstracts from Google Scholar and online databases into your EndNote Library

search a library catalogue and save the details directly to your EndNote Library

manually type references into your EndNote Library

store the PDF of each article with the record

use your database of references (i.e. EndNote Library) to insert in-text citations and create a List of References

automatically when writing a word document (MS Word, Pages’09, Open Office)

USQ has a site license for EndNote in both Macintosh and Windows versions. Refer to EndNote’s help page for information

about obtaining and using EndNote at: http://www.usq.edu.au/library/services/staffresearch/endnote/ . To install EndNote on

your desktop or laptop, go to this section of the Library’s website and follow the links and instructions.

3 | P a g e

PART 1 ENDNOTE - HOW TO START IT AND HOW IT WORKS

Follow the instructions provided when you download your copy of the program to your own computer. It is important when

working with operating systems after Windows XP, the program be saved to the following location:

C:\Users\username\Documents\EndNote

Open EndNote on your laptop or desktop

1. Go to Start

2. Go to All Programs>EndNote>EndNote program>Click on the black and orange EndNote Icon

3. The next screen you see will offer you these options and the first will be selected by default. Change the selection to Do

not integrate with EndNote Web at this time

4. Go to the final option and then select the FINISH button.

NB. EndNote Web is available to USQ staff and students via the database ISI Thomson, Web of

Knowledge. It allows you to work without the software installed creating a library on the web. You can

transfer references between your PC library and your EndNote web library. If you wish to try it out, go

to the EndNote Web site http://www.endnoteweb.com/enwebinfo.asp and see for yourself

4 | P a g e

Create your first EndNote Library

The next screen also offers you three options.

1. Choose the second option– Create a new library –and you are on your way to using EndNote for the first time.

Remember! For safety (and sanity) reasons is recommended that you save one or two copies of your library in different

locations. Save them as a COMPRESSED LIBRARY (File/Compressed Library), and remember to update them.

5 | P a g e

Your new EndNote library is now open and empty (unlike the one below).

The outer window is the EndNote program, and the inner window with three divisions/panes is your EndNote Library (Groups,

Library, Preview/Search/Quick Edit.).

What is an EndNote reference?

Every record in EndNote is similar in that it has fields for data and is displayed in the Library pane according to the data stored in

those fields. The fields which are included depend upon the type of resource, or reference type, (e.g. book, journal article,

webpage, map, standard).

The following image illustrates how a record is displayed in an EndNote Library.

6 | P a g e

To open a record click on it once to highlight the record, then double click on it. The display should look something like the

example below:

Note the way data is entered in some, but not all, of the fields. Note the way authors/editors names are entered, as well as the

punctuation and capitalization used for different reference types and fields.

Consistency of data entry for each field is VERY important (See Appendix A)

If you would like to change the fields that are being displayed as headings see Appendix B.

To quickly edit a record which is not open: highlight the record (by clicking on the record once) in your

library and use the Quick Edit tab in the Preview/Search/Quick Edit pane

7 | P a g e

Add references to an EndNote Library

Add references. This can be done in three ways:

Online Search in EndNote

Search a library catalogue or database through EndNote. The records appear in the Groups pane, under the name of the

location to which you are connected, (e.g. U Southern Queensland catalogue, Web of Science or PubMed, etc.)

Importing citations from “external” databases

Search a database on the World Wide Web and importing citations to Endnote. The records appear as imported files

under All References in the Groups pane.

Manually typing/pasting reference

Cut and paste or manually type into a New Reference when there is no automated way to import the reference. These

records immediately appear in All references in the Groups pane.

Online Search through EndNote

Searching a DATABASE

1. In your EndNote Library, select the Web of Science in the Groups pane under Online Search

00

2. The Preview/Search/Quick Edit pane, which was previously blank, now displays the name of the database – ISI Citation Indexes at Web of Science (ISI) i, (see illustration below)

3. In the search boxes type the following search terms: cross cultural communication AND education AND Australia and

change the fields to Title/Keywords/Abstract

4. Hit the Search button and the next screen will look something like this:

8 | P a g e

5. This search has retrieved 6 results. Click the OK button to import these records into your Library. Refer to the image

below

(1) Here in the Groups pane you can see the number of results beside the name of the database/catalogue.

(2) Here in the Library pane you can see the references imported.

(3) Here at the bottom left of the screen EndNote tells you what you are looking at.

(4) Here at the top in the Groups pane, All References group indicates you now have six (6) references in your library.

The Unfiled group indicates that these references have not yet been put into My Group.

Searching USQ Library CATALOGUE

1. To select the USQ Library catalogue, go to the Online Search icon and find U Southern Queensland. Choose

2. Enter your search terms in the search boxes.

3. Retrieve 4 records for your EndNote Library. Note how they affect the Groups

If the U Southern Queensland file is not visible, go to

http://www.usq.edu.au/library/services/staffresearch/endnote/usingendnote and follow the directions located there

9 | P a g e

Before proceeding, you must check each imported record to be sure the data in each field is

correct. Also you can add data if you wish. To be sure you enter data correctly check Appendix A

Ask yourself some questions about the data entered:

a. Is the Reference Type correct?

b. Does the way the title is written with all capitals or sentence case or some of both, matter?

c. Is there anything I can add to make this easy to find later using the Quick Search function?

You can move back and forward through the records in your library using the arrows at the top left of the window.

Moving to the next record saves the changes in the previous one.

To close a record you simply click on the inside cross at the top right hand corner. You will be asked if you wish to save

the changes. . (The top cross closes EndNote completely).

Online search of database and export to EndNote.

1. Go to the USQ Library’s homepage http://libcat.usq.edu.au/ Select the Journals & databases tab:

2. From the alphabetical list

3. Select the letter A

4. Choose Academic Search Complete by clicking on the hypertext link for the name of the database

5. In the first search box, type your search phrase or keyword (use the same one you used before).

6. Hit the Search button and wait for the results

7. Select seven records by clicking on the Add to folder icon at the bottom of each record

8. Go to Folder icon and click on it to open it

Folder

FOLDER

10 | P a g e

9. The next screen will appear as below:

10. Click on the Save button. EndNote will open and your references will be downloaded into the Library.

Note the information in the Groups pane (i.e. Imported References; Unfiled). Unfiled means your imported records have not been allocated to a group within your library (refer to Creating Groups in your EndNote Library – which we discuss later)

9. Select all records, then

10. Export into Endnote

11 | P a g e

Attaching the PDF of the article to a existing record

You will notice when you check each record imported from a database, that the URL is included but not the FULL TEXT of the

record. To have guaranteed 24 hour access to the full text of the article whether or not you have an internet connection, you can

attach the PDF to the record.

Use FIND FULL TEXT

Follow these steps:

In your EndNote Library:

1. Highlight the reference in your EndNote Library for which you want to attach the PDF file.

2. Click on the Find Full Text icon in the navigation bar at the top of your EndNote library. This will activate the

search and sometimes open a screen like this:

3. Log in and select CONTINUE and this screen may appear:

4. Select CONTINUE and you will see this:

12 | P a g e

5. Select OK.

You will notice this on the bottom left of the GROUPS PANE

It will be followed after a few seconds by either this:

or this:

6. If look back at the highlighted record in the LIBRARY PANE and you will see a paper clip

which indicates a File Attachment.

7. Follow the green arrow and click on the YELLOW FOLDER . The PDF of the document will open immediately.

1. Follow the same steps as with the previous import checking each record carefully DON’T FORGET TO ADD THE

NAME OF THE DATABASE and ACCESS DATE if you are going to save the record as an ELECTRONIC ARTICLE rather

than a JOURNAL ARTICLE (which is how it is generally imported). See Appendix E for information on MODIFYING AN

OUTPUT STYLE

2. To increase your chances of finding full text if you use Library databases, add this url to your EndNote Preferences, Find Full

Text options - http://ezproxy.usq.edu.au/login . To do this go to Edit/Preferences/Find Full Text

13 | P a g e

Attach file

1. Highlight the record for which you have a PDF saved. 2. Go to References/File Attachments/Attach file 3. To see the paperclip appear in the field of the record, click away into another record. You will be asked to save the

changes.

Create records from PDF files

If a PDF file contains a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), EndNote should be able to import that file and automatically create a record for it. PLEASE NOTE: DOI’s were introduced in 2000, so many journal articles will NOT have a DOI. (If allocated, the DOI is located on the first page of the PDF). To do this:

1. Use the Import function 2. Select the PDF file (browse to the location where you have saved it) 3. And choose PDF as the Import option

4. 5. Click on the Import button 6. The record and the PDF are both imported into the Library

14 | P a g e

Those that have no DOI will look like this but they will have the PDF attached.

To complete the record, open the PDF and copy and paste all the necessary details into relevant fields and save.

Working with the PDF

1. Highlight a record with a PDF attached

2. Open File

3. Add a sticky note and highlight some text, zoom and search the document using the icons on the toolbar above the PDF

4. When you finish working with it, SAVE using the icon.

Add references to the EndNote library manually

There may be a couple of reasons you cannot export results of your research to EndNote.

You have found something on the World Wide Web and it is not possible to send it to EndNote

You have a paper you wrote before you learned to use EndNote and you have a list of references you wish to transfer

to your EndNote library.

To add references manually you can cut and paste or you type directly into the record fields.

A. Create EndNote records for the following two citations

a. Jones, SP 2003, ‘Ethical issues’, in M Evans & A Smith (eds), Scientific research, 2nd edn, Modern Science

Publishers, London, pp. 25-40. (Note this is formatted in Harvard AGPS 6)

b. Cheung, M. (2010). The globalization and localization of persuasive marketing communication: a cross-

linguistic socio-cultural analysis. Journal of Pragmatics, 42(2), 354-376.

B. Find your own reference to add to your EndNote Library

1. Open the USQ Library on your browser

2. Type in the title of a book you know or keywords to find a title you are interested in.

3. Click on the hyperlinked title on this first results screen and go through to the full record that shows publication

details and table of contents, subject headings etc.

4. Go to you EndNote Library

5. Open (new reference)

6. Select the Reference Type and begin cutting and pasting the data.

7. Close the completed record by clicking on the inside cross

Check the Data Entry Conventions in Appendix A for guidance

15 | P a g e

Creating Groups in your EndNote Library

Take a look at the group named Unfiled. This is all the

references in your library that have not been allocated to a

group. To help you organise these references, EndNote has

created the option for you to make Groups. To find out more

about Groups go to the help button and type Groups in the

Index search box.

Let’s create some Groups Sets and Groups now:

1. Right mouse click in the blue Groups pane or go to Groups in the navigation bar.

2. Select Create Group Set.

3. You will see a box in the Groups pane inviting you to write over the words New Group Set with your own group set

name like this:

4. Name it Communication

Creating Group Set and New Groups

1. In the Groups pane, click on Communication then right mouse click and choose the option to Create Group.

2. Name the Group Cross cultural and note where it is now situated (as a subset of the Group Set:called Communication)

3. Repeat the process for # 2and name the next group non-verbal

Add references to a group

1. Be sure you have selected your All References group on the left. You should see something like the image below:

2. You have the same number of references in your full library (All References) as you do Unfiled.

3. Select and highlight two or three references from your library (CTRL & left mouse click)

16 | P a g e

4. Keep cursor over highlighted records.

5. Drag and drop them into the cross cultural group (Alternatively you can right mouse click and choose the option

Add References to …and choose the Group.)

6. Now check the Groups pane. It should look something like this:

7. Click on All References again.

8. Click back into the cross-cultural group

9. You will see the references belonging to these groups are still in your full library.

Output or Referencing Styles in EndNote

The EndNote program will format in-text citations and your List of References/Bibliography/Works Cited according to the

bibliographic Output Style displayed in the EndNote Library window.

Annotated is the style that displays when you create your first EndNote library.

EndNote has a number of output styles for you to choose from to format your in-text citations and List of References or

Bibliography. They range from the basic Show all fields through the Numbered to the well- known Harvard*, APA 6th,

MLA and

Oxford styles. You can also write you own style by using an existing EndNote output style and modifying it.

To find out more about Output Styles in your EndNote Library, go to the Help icon and type Output Styles Menu

in the search box. Then select the hyperlinked option Style Manager

Preview tab of the Preview/Search/Quick Edit pane.

1. Highlight the first record and check the Preview tab. This is a good way to learn how to reference correctly. It is also a good

way to see if you have all the relevant information in your record once you know the components of a citation for different

information sources. It is your responsibility to know the specific details of the output style you are required to use (refer

to USQ Library’s referencing guides located on the library’s homepage).

For example: although every reference type template has a typical range of fields, a book citation does not include a URL unless it is an e-book; a journal article has volume number and most times, an issue number. It

17 | P a g e

also has pages which are not relevant to a book citation. Depending upon the output style, a website may require the date it is viewed or accessed, (given the instability of websites). It may also include the date it was last updated for reasons of credibility and currency. There may be a requirement to include a URL or a DOI. A government website does not always have an author. Maps have requirements for scale and geographic location but not often an author.

2. Change the Output Style by clicking on the drop down arrow in the OUTPUT STYLE WINDOW

and selecting another from the list. Note the differences and similarities.

3. Choose Select another style. This opens what is called the Style Manager. Select another style, for example APA 6th and hit

the Choose button.

*Note: If USQ’s recommended referencing or output style, Harvard AGPS 6 is NOT included in EndNote’s list of output styles (see instructions below) go to the USQ Library website to download it into your EndNote program. USQ Library provides a link to this style at its Using Endnote page: http://www.usq.edu.au/library/services/staffresearch/endnote/usingendnote

For those who wish to add particular information to an output style for purposes of including Research Notes or

other fields not visible in the default templates, go to the HELP button in EndNote.

Type in ‘OUTPUT STYLES’

Select Output Styles menu (double click to display at right)

The options there are: Installing Additional Output Styles and Modifying Style Templates ( also, see Appendix E).

PART 2 USING AN ENDNOTE LIBRARY WITH WORD

We will now work in a word document and insert citations from our EndNote Library.

Before we enter our first citation let’s look at the Word 2010 ribbon and how EndNote appears in Word.

Note the three divisions of the tab in Word - Citations, Bibliography and Tools. Check the contents of each of these sections

and become familiar with their functions

In earlier MS Office package and on a Mac your EndNote toolbar will look something like this:

If you cannot see a tab in your Word ribbon or this toolbar (above) in earlier versions, refer to the EndNote link on the Library’s

homepage for EndNote FAQ’s and links to support services

http://www.usq.edu.au/library/services/staffresearch/endnote/support

EndNote tab in Word

1. Open a new Word document.

2. Type the following three sentences:

This is an example of communication to be used in the EndNote class. We will be using this text to practise inserting

citations and formatting our document into a number of Output Styles. It should be very useful.

3. To enter the first citation:

a. Place the cursor at the end of the first sentence one space after the last letter and leave a space before the full

stop (i.e. space cursor space fullstop).

b. Go to the Citations section in the Word ribbon and click on the EndNote icon .

c. If your EndNote library is not open this will start it up.

d. Once you are in your library, highlight one reference and go to the EndNote toolbar’s Cite While you Write

(CWYW) icons

e. Click on the red arrow to insert the citation into your word document. EndNote will take you directly to

your word document. If you have the earlier version of Word you will use a similar icon in the toolbar shown

previously.

4. The citation will appear in one of two forms –

Like this (with a formatted in-text citation and List of References)

19 | P a g e

or like this: (with an unformatted in-text citation marker and without a List of References)

5. To format the latter example, go to the EndNote tab in Word and the Bibliography section.

6. Click on Update Citations and Bibliography

Using the Insert Citation option in Word

1. Go to your EndNote Library

2. Select and write down (or remember) the name of one author in your library

3. Return to Word using the Return to Word icon in the CWYW toolbar

4. In your Word document place the cursor at the end of the second sentence and leave a space before the full stop as

before.

5. Go to the Citations section and select the option Insert Citation

6. Choose Find a Citation. (If you click on the down arrow you will find a choice of options. If you click on the magnifying

glass you will get this same screen).

7. Type in the author you wrote down and click Find

20 | P a g e

8. EndNote searches your library and brings up suggestions for you to check as in the screen above. Check the record

details in the preview screen at the bottom then highlight the one you wish to quote and double click or click on the

Insert button. You will see your reference appear in the text and in the bibliography as before. Follow previous steps to

‘format’ if it does not automatically format the in-text citation in your chosen bibliographic output style

9. Go to the final sentence and insert the cursor in the appropriate place for your next citation.

10. Go to EndNote and highlight TWO or THREE references.

11. Go to the toolbar in EndNote and click on . The two or three citations will appear together. And the individual

authors will appear in the List of References.

21 | P a g e

This is now how the document looks (formatted in APA 6th

style). If the document is unformatted, remember to click on the

Update Citations and Bibliography icon

ALTERING AN OUTPUT STYLE: If you want to permanently modify some aspect of an output style, you need to

modify the style and then save it as a new style in your styles folder. You can change both the templates for in-

text citations and the List of References. Refer to Appendix E

22 | P a g e

Editing citations – adding page numbers, remove author’s name, add ‘see also’, or other text

Adding page numbers

1. In your Word document, place the cursor in the greyed area of the first in-text citation.

2. Select the EndNote tab and in the Citations section, click on .

3. A window will open (see below), providing you with options to modify the citation and or the reference itself.

4. Ensure that the Edit Citation tab is selected in the lower pane (see below)

5. Enter the page numbers into the appropriate field (see below)

6. Click on OK (see below)

7. The citation should now look like this: if you are using a referencing style that inserts page

numbers in text.

8. If the change is not visible, select Update Citations and Bibliography. If the change does not appear check the Output

style as not all use page numbers in in text citation.

Removing the author’s name

Many times you will use the author’s or editor’s name in the sentence. If you do this you cannot leave it in the in-text citation.

To remove an author’s name from the in-text citation follow these steps:

1. Type the author/s name/s in the body of the text:

23 | P a g e

2. Place cursor inside greyed area of citation.

3. Go to

4. Ensure that the Edit Citations tab is selected in the window that appears, (see below)

5. tick the box beside the words Exclude author (see below)

6. Click on OK

The Author’s name has been removed from the in-text citation , but it still

appears in the List of References.

Remove an in-text citation

1. If you have inserted an in-text citation into your document and wish to remove it:

2. Locate the citation you wish to remove (i.e. click somewhere in the citation)

3. From the EndNote ribbon, Select Edit & Manage Citations

4. When the window opens, Select the edit reference dropdown menu

5. From the top pane, select remove citation

The in-text citation and the reference included in the List of References will be removed from the document.

There are many other reasons for you to edit citations and you can find help on this action here at the EndNote

24 | P a g e

help button. Type in editing, citations to find results.

Where to get HELP

1. Use the HELP icon in Word and EndNote

2. Refer to the Library’s EndNote pages http://www.usq.edu.au/library/services/staffresearch/endnote/default.htm

3. Contact your Faculty Librarian http://www.usq.edu.au/library/services/staffresearch/endnote/default.htm

Please note: The Library does not provide training in Microsoft Office Word. You will need to contact ICT Services for assistance with the using Word.

25 | P a g e

APPENDIX A: Data entry conventions

General GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT!

Enter data in author, title, journal title, and article title fields using capitalization as specified by your output style.

(e.g., Harvard AGPS 6 - Fractions are as easy as pie: a game of common fractions; APA 6th -

Fractions are as easy as

pie: A game of common fractions, OXFORD Fractions are as Easy as Pie: A Game of Common Fractions ) EndNote

does not convert lower case to uppercase or vice versa.

Enter ONLY the data required by the field as the field name will be applied in your output style (eg. In Volume and

Issue fields, just enter numerals. The output style will apply appropriate letters – vol. v. no. issue etc.) Only when

entering the EDITION must you use letters – First edition = 1st.

Author/Editor

VERY IMPORTANT! BE CONSISTENT HERE ABOVE ALL

Enter as much detail on the author/s name/s as you can find – ie. All names in full rather than initials. The referencing style

you select will choose initials only where applicable, but it cannot find a full name when there is none entered in the record.

Enter ALL author/editor names, one name per line and more commonly as FAMILY NAME, FIRST NAMES.

EndNote will

o truncate or replace first names with initials, and o will replace lists of authors with et al as required by referencing/output style

• Enter Author and Editor names IN FULL wherever possible ( e.g. Smith, Johanna Matera NOT Smith, J M)

• Enter Corporate authors with a comma AFTER the name (e.g. Apple Computer Inc., World Health Organisation, )

• Enter multiple-word last names like this: de Gaulle, Charles, van Vonderen, Jessica

Year

• Enter the four numbers of the year of publication. If appropriate enter ‘In press’ or some other notation

Title

• Enter the title WITHOUT any punctuation at the end

• Just keep typing the title, no matter how long it is. EndNote has ‘word wrap’ which means it automatically starts a

new line according to its parameters.

Pages

• Enter pages as numerals only. Enter page ranges with a hyphen (e.g. 1442-1449 or 1442-9)

Edition

Enter 1st or 2nd and so on in this field

26 | P a g e

APPENDIX B: Change the display fields in your EndNote library

Each of these columns displayed in your EndNote Library can be sorted, in ascending or descending order, by clicking on the

column heading. (The default sorting is alphabetical, by author).

One field that is useful to have visible in your Library is the Record Number. This will be invaluable as you add and delete records

and when you are citing the references in any written paper.

To add the Record Number field follow these simple steps:

1. Go the EndNote library

2. Select Edit>Preferences>Display fields

3. Choose Column 6 which is currently the REFERENCE TYPE to overwrite with the field name RECORD NUMBER.

4. In the HEADING column on the right hand side highlight the heading Record Number and overtype No.

5. Click OK button

6. The fields displayed should now include the record number of each reference

7. Sort by record number by clicking on the column heading. You can then see the latest reference added to your library.

8. Click on the Author column heading to sort by author

27 | P a g e

APPENDIX C: Sharing your document

If you wish to submit your paper to your supervisor or for publication you can do so by following the

procedure outlined below. If you don’t you will find the recipient cannot effectively edit it.

Saving a “clean” copy of a document

This is important to do if you are sending a copy to your supervisor or a publisher. This function retains your original document,

with the EndNote coding, but creates an additional “clean” or code-free document. Your headings and other formatting is still

retained. Once this has been done this copy can never be reverted to see the EndNote connection so you will either need to

reinsert all references using EndNote, or go back to the saved version with coding.

1. Select the Convert Citations and Bibliography option

2. Choose Convert to Plain Text

3. If you are using an earlier version of Word, click on the Convert to Plain text (i.e. remove field codes) icon on your
