Introduction to Bibliographic Software & EndNote
A software that:
• stores and organises references from many sources
• inserts these references into a Word document, and
• automatically formats your references according to a predefined citation style

EndNote Workflow
13
1. Create an EndNote Library
2. Add references to the EndNote Library
3. Manage references: using groups & finding duplicates
4. Insert references in MS Word (Cite While You Write)
5. Change citation style and edit preferences
Step 1: Create an EndNote Librarya. All programs > EndNote > EndNote Programb. File > Newc. Filename: Test (*.enl)d. Save

Online Search
Method 1: Direct ExportExport references directly from database
a. At the database, select the records you want
b. Save, output, export or send to EndNote (Look for “RIS format”)
c. Click Open to transfer records to your EndNote library
16
Method 2: Import .txt FileUsed when references cannot be exported to EndNote.
Very few databases e.g. Factiva
a. At the database, select the records you wantb. Export text (.txt) file and save on desktopc. In EndNote, go to File > Importd. Browse and select the .txt filee. Select Import option > Other filters
17

Method 3: Online SearchSearch free databases (e.g. PubMed) and library
catalogues (e.g. LINC, Library of Congress)
a. Go to Online Search Mode > More
b. Select a free database or catalogue, e.g. NATL U of Singapore
c. In the online search pane, search by exact title of book or conference proceeding

18
NATL
Method 4: Import PDF FilesExtracts references from PDF files
PDF must contain a Digital Object Identifer (DOI) and is not a scanned document.
a. In EndNote, go to File > Import
b. Choose either file or folder, and change Import Option > PDF
Note: If the author, title, journal, etc, fields are not auto-populated, the PDF could be of the wrong format or have an incorrect DOI

Step 3: Duplicate References To set criteria:• Edit > Preferences > DuplicatesTo find duplicates:• References > Find Duplicates
21
Managing References: Custom vs. Smart Groups
Custom Groups
Create folders to group (categorise) references
Smart Groups
Automatically group references based on your search criteria, e.g.: author/year/title contains/is/word begins with…
Note: Any references added to EndNote will be automatically filed in the group, with immediate effect
22
Step 4: Cite While You Write (CWYW)
23
• Use MS Word to insert citations into your paper• Create a paper with properly formatted references,
bibliography, figures & tables
• Tip: Do NOT edit the citations and bibliographies in Word. Edit the reference in the EndNote Library only
• Tip: To locate citation and bibliography fields, change the MS Word’s Field Shading option
24
EndNote Tab & Field ShadingIf EndNote is properly installed, you will see the EndNote
tab in Word
After you add references, Field shading shows up as text highlighted in grey.
