It was a pleasure presenting to the CRC group on EndNote. I hope my introduction to EndNote
gives you the basics you need to get started. I wanted to send you some links to useful EndNote
resources:
VU Software Store link (EndNote will cost $53 with the discount you receive as a Vanderbilt
affiliate): https://elms05.e-academy.com/vanderbilt/
You will have to log in, and then you can enter ‘endnote’ into the Product Search box. It will
return several options. The one you want is ISI ResearchSoft EndNote X3. You will need to
select PC or Mac, and either “departments” or “employee pymt by credit card,” depending on
how you plan to pay for it.
EndNote website: http://www.endnote.com/
EndNote tutorials: http://www.endnote.com/training/
EndNote Tech Support is quite good: 800-336-4474. At the prompt press 4, and then select the
"ResearchSoft Products" option.
Alternatively, Email Technical Support for EndNote from this link:
http://science.thomsonreuters.com/techsupport/?prodname=EndNote%AE
EndNote User Forum: http://forums.thomsonscientific.com/ts/?category.id=endnote
This is a great (free) resource. There are expert users who know just about everything, as well as
EndNote employees, who are happy to answer your questions.
Instructions for importing citations as a text file from PubMed (this was the batch import of a
group of citations I demonstrated; handy for importing NCBI collections):
http://www.endnote.com/support/faqs/import/faq1.asp It is crucial to change the PubMed display
to ‘Medline’ before saving the citations as a text file. There is also a video tutorial of this
process. Go to the tutorials link (http://www.endnote.com/training/) and watch the video titled
“Importing Text Files.”
Someone asked about getting output styles for journals that are not already in the EndNote list of
styles. The link for doing that is here: http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles-terms.asp
That is a more advanced EndNote task, so new users might need some help figuring it out.
If anyone wants to set up a time for some hands-on training at the library, or if you need
assistance using the program, feel free to contact me via email or phone.
Thanks again for having me come in to speak to the CRC. Have a great day!
