  1. Using Endnote to manage bibliographic information Dr. JefithaKarimurio Department of Ophthalmology, University of Nairobi

  2. What is an Ednote library? • A collection of references. • There is no limit to the number of references you can store in a single Endnote library. • Each reference in the Ednote library contains all the information required to create a bibliography (references). • A bibliography is a list of books, articles, and other sources used/consulted when researching a topic and writing a paper. 

  3. The Ednote library can be used for • PhD thesis • Masters dissertations • Scientific papers for publication in journals • Conference papers • NB: use one library for your thesis/dissertation

  4. Ednote allows you to • Sort references into groups (folders) • Store notes and personal annotations about sources searched/sorted (author, title, keyword, notes etc) • Store copies of electronic journal articles/abstracts, • Link reference to: SuperSearch to locate journals, website URLs and documents stored on your computer.

  5. Practical 1 • Create a new Ednote X5 library • Manually enter references into the library • Use an existing library to demonstrate how to: • Use Ednote tool bars • Cite While You Write (CWYR) • sort references by author, title, Year, Journal etc • Edit styles

  6. Endnote referencing details Author: family name first e.g. Singh, J. S or van Doorn, Richard Organisations – Corporate Authors • United Nations,(NB: comma at end) • University of Nairobi,, Department of Ophthalmology (NB: placement of double commas & no comma at end) Note: • Commas determine the way Author names are displayed • Essential: only one author per line • EndNote will truncate the list of authors with “et al.” or “and others” automatically as required by your chosen Output Style

  7. Getting Ednote software • Current version = Endnote X16. It requires a license but you can download a trail version for short term use • Recent versions are compatible with most computer operating systems. • Older versions (e.g. Ednote X9) do not require a license. • Alternatively, you can use Zotero, a free bibliography software used. NB: Zotero is a Mozilla Firefox add-on.
