EndNote

I have a specific question about using EndNote. Who can I contact?

You can contact an EndNote administrator on your campus: 

• Margaret Smith (NYC)
• Amani Magid (NYUAD)
• Abigail Cahill (NYUAD)
• Qinghua Xu (NYUSH)

How do I get access to the full text (PDFs) of the articles in my EndNote Library?

Open your EndNote preferences, choose the "Find Full Text" option, and enter the following: 

• Enter the "OpenURL Path" as http://getit.library.nyu.edu/resolve/
• Enter the "Authenticate with" as https://proxy.library.nyu.edu/login?url=https://library.nyu.edu
• Click "Apply"

When you select EndNote records and choose "Find Full Text", you will initially be prompted to login with your NYU NetID and password, and then (within this pop-up window) you'll be redirected to the NYU Libraries site. Click "Continue" in the bottom right corner of this pop-up window. Then close the pop-up window, select your EndNote records, and choose "Find Full Text" again. Note: EndNote is only successful at locating the PDFs for  approximately 60% of the time.

How can I remove duplicate results in EndNote?

Here are two methods for removing duplicates in Endnote:

• A simple method, developed by Wichor Bramer 
• A modified and more advanced method, developed by Wichor Bramer and associates (PDF)

How can I export citations from Google Scholar to EndNote?

1. Connect to http://scholar.google.com
2. Click on "Scholar Preferences"
3. Scroll down to "Bibliography Manager"
4. Choose EndNote. Now all your Google Scholar results will be linked to or "Import into EndNote."
5. Save your preferences when finished and return to search.

Which is right for me: EndNote or RefWorks?

RefWorks is available only online, while EndNote is software you load on your personal computer. RefWorks subscriptions are now available free to NYU alumni, and NYU-licensed copies of EndNote may be retained when you leave NYU. There are advantages to having RefWorks online: there is no software to load and it is available anywhere you are that is connected to the Internet. These are also disadvantages: you must be online to access your RefWorks database.

Some researchers prefer EndNote because they feel more secure with a local copy of their database. If you own a laptop, and are planning to do work in areas where there may not be a connection to the Internet (such as archives, or libraries other than NYU), you might prefer to get EndNote. Both programs offer the same ability to download results of searches from online databases and libraries, and the same ability to insert footnotes in papers and create bibliographies.

Can I take a class to learn more about EndNote?
