What is EndNote?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official blurb on EndNote<\/a> is\nthat it is \u201c\u2026the industry standard software tool for publishing and managing\nbibliographies, citations and references<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you drifted off yet? Don\u2019t \u2013 read on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EndNote takes a little getting used to\nand we recommend you familiarise yourself with it at the start of your research\nprocess. But <\/em>as Library Staff, we wouldn\u2019t spend a\nsignificant amount of time demonstrating and training our academic staff and\nstudents on what EndNote is, and how to use it, if we didn\u2019t think it was\nvaluable. It will<\/em> save you a huge amount of\ntime in terms of writing up your assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, you can use EndNote to\ncreate and organise a personal library of resources relevant to your research.\nYou can import references from Library Search<\/a>, and a huge range of databases such\nas Scopus<\/a>, Web of Science<\/a>, IEEE Xplore<\/a> and Business Source Complete<\/a>. You can ask EndNote to locate\nthe full-text PDFs of the resources you are going to use in your research, and\nyou can annotate them as you wish too. Did you know you can instruct Google Scholar<\/a> to\nimport references into EndNote? No? Try\nit<\/a>. Finally, if you already have materials stored in your home\nfolder (H:\\<\/a>) then you can attach them to a manually-created\nreference within EndNote, bringing all your research together in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to organising your references (and this is the clever bit) you can then get EndNote to \u2018talk\u2019 to your word processing software, e.g.\u00a0Microsoft
Word<\/a>, and insert the citations into your work for you in your chosen\u00a0referencing style<\/a>, e.g. Cite Them Right Harvard, Vancouver, APA or MLA. If you don\u2019t want to do that, then EndNote will also allow you to create an independent bibliography of your references, saving you an awful lot of typing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using EndNote<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intrigued? You should be. Take a look at our EndNote Guide<\/a>. It contains all the introductory information you need, step-by-step workbooks to train yourself on the use of EndNote (the Desktop<\/a> and Online<\/a> versions), videos<\/a>, useful FAQs<\/a>, and contacts for help<\/a>, should you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Newcastle University\nprovides support for EndNote but it is not compulsory to use. You may\nprefer Mendeley<\/a>, Zotero<\/a>, RefWorks<\/a> or another piece of bibliographic\nmanagement software. That\u2019s fine, whatever makes your referencing<\/a> lives easier. Go on, give them a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
