Managing References in EndNote

Introduction to reference management software A software that: stores and organises references from many sources inserts these references into a Word document automatically formats your references according to a predefined citation style

EndNote Add references to EndNote Library Insert references into Word document Format according to the citation style required in Word

EndNote – Add references to EndNote Library Methods: Export references from database, e.g. Web of Science Import pdf documents with DOI to create references

EndNote – Insert references into Word document Cite while you write (CWYW) Methods: Insert citation via article search Insert selected citation(s) from EndNote

EndNote – Format according to the citation style required in Word APA 6th ACS EndNote LibGuide for installation instructions, step-by-step guides and details of EndNote workshops
