ENDNOTE DESKTOP

DESKTOP:  Dakota State University students/staff/faculty may now download a desktop copy of EndNote software for free as part of the Mundt Library’s new subscription to Web of Knowledge databases. Desktop download information.

ENDNOTE WEB

EndNote Web provides a way to manage citations. It will also format the citations within the text of a paper and format the bibliography in the citation style you select.  For example,

You can create a folder in EndNote Web for each research paper and save citations into the appropriate folder.

You can then designate in your paper where each citation (in your EndNote folder) is to be included in the paper and use the “Format Paper” option in EndNote to format the citations in the text and in the works cited (bibliography). EndNote can format in many, many citation styles (e.g., MLA, APA)
 

To begin using EndNote Web, see:      Basic Instructions
Provides step-by-step instructions with examples. Refer to Database-specific Export/Import Instructions when directed to do so in the Basic Instructions.
 

After you have created an account (see the "Basic Instructions" document for how to create an account), you can go directly to https://www.myendnoteweb.com/  to login to your EndNote Web.

    A.  CREATE AN ACCOUNT

1. The first time you use EndNote Web, you will need to create an account.  To create an account, follow these steps. 

a. Select “Web of Science” from the “Database Quicklinks” dropdown menu on the library home page. If you are off-campus, you will be asked to login (with your Library ID and password)

b. On the Web of Science search screen, click "My EndNote Web" at the top of the window.

c. Use the “register” link to create an account for EndNote Web.

e. Once you have an account, you will be able to sign into it to import and manage citations in EndNote Web.

f. Don’t forget your password!

2. After you have created an account following the steps above, you no longer need to go through Web of Science to get to EndNote Web. You can go directly to EndNote Web and login at: https://www.myendnoteweb.com/

    B. SEARCH DATABASES & EXPORT CITATIONS

1. Search a library database and select the items (articles, books, etc.)  to use in your paper/project. Library research databases may be found by going to the Library homepage (http://www.departments.dsu.edu/library ) and using these links:

• Research Databases (by Subject)-- a link in the top, middle of the homepage that provides descriptions of the databases arranged by subject
• Research Databases (A-Z)-- a link in the top, middle of the homepage that provides descriptions of the databases arranged in an alphabetic list
• Database Quicklinks --  a dropdown menu in the upper right corner of the homepage that provides a direct link to the search screen of each database

2. Export the citations of the selected items into a saved file on your computer:

 See Database-specific Instructions to find instructions for the database from which you are exporting citations. Export is accomplished differently in different research databases.

    C. IMPORT CITATIONS INTO ENDNOTE WEB

1. Open Endnote Web and import the file (that you exported in B.2. above) into your Endnote Web account in this way:

a. To get to your EndNote account, go to https://www.myendnoteweb.com/ and login

b. In EndNote, select the Collect tab, and click on “Import References”

c. Browse for the File you want to import (the one with the items you exported from your database search above)

d. Select the Filter that will properly import the file. The filter will vary depending on what database you are importing from.  See Database-specific Instructions to find instructions for the database from which you are importing citations.

e. Click the Import button.

2.  Move the imported items into the appropriate folder (“group”) in your Endnote Web account:

a. In the My References tab, click the “Unfiled” group to see the items that you imported.

b. Mark the checkbox beside each unfiled item that you want to move to a group (or check the “All” box at the top of the list to move them all)

c. Use the “Add to group” dropdown at the top of the list to choose where to file the items.   If you need to create a new folder for the items, click on New Group in the “Add to group” dropdown and name it.

 

    D. USE ENDNOTE WEB TO FORMAT CITATIONS IN YOUR PAPER

1.  Use EndNote Web to format your paper's in-text citations and Works Cited pages

a. When writing the paper in Word, designate where a specific item is to be cited in the paper by entering the author’s last name and the date of the item within wavy brackets.  For example:  {Johnson, 2005} 
[To learn how to deal with authorless papers or papers with multiple authors, login to EndNote Web, click on the HELP link, find the Format References area, and click on "Format Paper."]

• Here is an example of a short paper that is using wavy brackets to show which article should be cited where:

CSI: Forensics Techniques for Determining Time of Death

In criminal investigations, determining the time of death may be crucial for identifying potential suspects.  Several methods have been used to estimate the time since death {Henssge, 2000; Henssge, 2004}.

One must examine the rate of body cooling and the factors affecting cooling to accurately use cooling curves to estimate the time of death {Al-Alousi, 2002; Kaliszan, 2005; Mall, 2005}.

b. When you are ready to format your citations and bibliography (that is, works cited), save a copy of your paper in RTF (rather than  .doc or .docx) format. Then return to the EndNote Web site.

2.  In EndNote Web, select the Format tab and click on “Format Paper”

a. On the “Format Paper” window, browse for the File (.rtf version of your paper) to be formatted

b. And choose the Bibliographic Style (for example, MLA or APA citation style)

c. Click the Format button to format your in-text citations and bibliography (works cited).

• As an example, the sample paper in D.1. (above) was formatted using MLA-no caps style, resulting in the following  (formatted in-text citations with a formatted works cited page at the end):

 CSI: Forensics Techniques for Determining Time of Death

In criminal investigations, determining the time of death may be crucial for identifying potential suspects.  Several methods have been used to estimate the time since death (Henssge et al.; Henssge and Madea).

One must examine the rate of body cooling and the factors affecting cooling to accurately use cooling curves to estimate the time of death (Al-Alousi; Kaliszan et al.; Mall et al.).

Al-Alousi, L. M. "A study of the shape of the post-mortem cooling curve in 117 forensic cases." Forensic Science International 125.2-3 (2002): 237-44.

Henssge, C., et al. "Experiences with a compound method for estimating the time since death. I. Rectal temperature nomogram for time since death." International Journal of Legal Medicine 113.6 (2000): 303-19.

Henssge, C., and B. Madea. "Estimation of the time since death in the early post-mortem period." Forensic Science International 144.2-3 (2004): 167-75.

Kaliszan, M., et al. "Verification of the exponential model of body temperature decrease after death in pigs." Experimental Physiology 90.5 (2005): 727-38.

Mall, G., et al. "Temperature-based death time estimation with only partially known environmental conditions." International Journal of Legal Medicine 119.4 (2005): 185-94.

d. You can then use this formatted version to prepare the final version of your paper.  The first part of the document above is the text of the research paper with in-text citations formatted in the style selected; the last part is the list of citations that will make up the “works cited.”

e. WARNING!!        Whenever you use a computerized tool like EndNote Web to format your citations, check to make sure that the formatting is correct. Errors can occur.

Database-specific instructions created July 2007 by TQ; most recent revision Sept 2009 by RLS

EndNote desktop download information.   for the Mac  |   for Windows

Dakota State University students/staff/faculty may now download a desktop copy of EndNote software for free as part of the Mundt Library’s new subscription to Web of Knowledge databases. The BOR libraries’ contract with Web of Knowledge is for 5 years [through June 2014], so DSU users can expect access to the desktop version during that time. Also, access to EndNote Web continues.

EndNote allows you to: maintain a database of citations, abstracts, and links for documents you are using for research; group your research documents into folders that represent your different research projects; “cite while you write” and format your bibliographies in a variety of citation styles; plus more. For additional information about EndNote, please see the links following the download instructions.

mac: DOWNLOAD & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR EndNote X3 (for Mac).  Computing Services has set up the download process for us. Follow these download and installation instructions:

1. Download Endnote.dmg    http://help.dsu.edu/public/download/secure/endnote.dmg 
      You’ll need to provide a DSU user name and password – this would be the same user name and password you use for webmail.dsu.edu. When prompted for your username precede your logonid with dsu\ so your entry is of the form dsu\logonid where logonid is your network id.

2. Open (double-click) Endnote.dmg
 
3. Follow the simple on-screen instructions

windows: DOWNLOAD & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR EndNote X3 (for Windows).  Computing Services has set up the download process for us. Follow these download and installation instructions:

1. Download this zip file http://help.dsu.edu/public/download/secure/ENX3Inst.zip

    You’ll need to provide a DSU user name and password – this would be the same user name and password you use for webmail.dsu.edu. When prompted for your username precede your logonid with dsu\ so your entry is of the form dsu\logonid where logonid is your network id.

2. Open the zip file and extract the two files. (In Windows XP, open the zip file by double-clicking on the zip file in the Download window. Then, the “extract files” link on the left side of the window will extract the files). 

4. Finally, double-click on ENX3Inst.msi to install it.  (note: If the license.dat file is not in the same directory as the ENX3Inst.msi setup file, it won't work)
