Note: It's not possible to export more than 2000 references at the same time. To export them in multiple smaller batches, re-run your search more than once, each time limiting the search to a different date range and exporting the results associated with each set of dates. The date range options appear below the search boxes on the main search page. Alternatively, run your search first, refine your results by using the date filter in the left-hand column, and click 'limit to'.
Note: You might need to allow pop-ups from the Web of Science site in order to continue with downloading references.
Note: If pop-ups are disabled, you need to enable them for search.proquest.com
Some resources don't provide options for exporting references (for example, public websites). The resource might be unpublished or be an interview you have conducted or a review you have written yourself. Therefore, you might need to manually create some references as follows:
Enter author names for the reference. Individual author names must be entered one per line. As you type, EndNote suggests names similar to the one you are entering. This is EndNote's way of using term lists to facilitate the process of entering new references. If the name appears in red, this indicates it is a new name in the Author term list for this EndNote library. If the author is a corporate author, place a comma at the end of the name to ensure the name sorts correctly.
Continue entering the reference, using the TAB key to move to the next field, and SHIFT+TAB to move to the previous field, if necessary. You can also use the mouse to click in the desired field.
Use semicolons, backslashes or line breaks between keywords. No extra punctuation (such as parentheses around the year) or text styles (such as bold or italic) are entered into the reference. EndNote adds the necessary punctuation and text style changes to the references when it creates a bibliography.
Add any manual file attachments to the reference if required.
Click Save.
Close the Reference window.
When prompted to save changes, click Yes.
You can make annotations (sticky notes) or mark up text within a PDF using the toolbar in the PDF tab.
EndNote offers a "Find Full Text" feature that allows users to locate full text for references already in their library. You might consider using the following OpenURL parameters to maximise the chances of finding available PDFs.
To use the Find Full Text feature, you need to first select the references for which you want to locate the full text, then click on the References tab, and select Find Full Text.
Be careful when using find full text to automatically download PDFs. It is possible to inadvertently breach copyright law by downloading more than 5% or 1 paper from a single journal issue if you have references to multiple papers from a single issue saved in your EndNote Library. Please check before using this feature. Publishers detecting breaches may block your access to their e-resources.
If you've already downloaded some full text pdfs and you would like to import these into EndNote, the best approach is to save these together in one folder and then import from the folder.
EndNote provides tools to mark up and annotate pdfs.
You can set preferences in EndNote to automatically import pdfs added to a specified folder in the future.
EndNote initially stores these in the Imported References group.
If you don't manually move them to a group, EndNote will create an Unfiled group to store the references in.
The Search PDF feature allows you to search for words and phrases within the PDF.
The Search PDF feature only searches within the currently open PDF. You cannot use this feature to search the reference fields in the Reference panel or to search other PDF files that are attached to the current reference.
The Online Search command in EndNote's Tools menu connects you to online databases and online catalogues without having to leave the EndNote program.
It isn't considered best practice to search for documents from within EndNote. It is better to search individual databases because this gives you a better set of refined search options.
A connection file contains all the information necessary to connect to, search and import references from a specific online database. Please note that at University of Bath you may not be able to connect to all services listed. PubMed and UK academic services are likely to be the most reliable.
When you have searched a database previously, or marked a database as a favourite in the Connection Manager, it gets listed in the Online Search list in the Groups pane. You can start future searches of that online service by clicking the name of the service in the Groups pane.
