Endnote Online

You can add references to your library in several ways depending on how the original reference provider is configured to work with Endnote:

• export references directly into Endnote Online from Primo and Web of Science

• import reference file types from Science Direct, Scopus, some other library resources and from Google Scholar

• manually create a reference within Endnote Online (useful for non-digital sources or unstructured sources e.g. web pages)

• 'capture reference' tool provided by Endnote Online for use with websites (this can be hit and miss and manual creation is often advised)

• [Endnote Online also offers an 'online search' of external tools from within Endnote Online.  We advise against using this as it is not robust].

Important!  Check the data has been imported correctly (all recently imported references go into a group called 'Unfiled') and edit any inaccuracies within Endnote Online otherwise the reference will display incorrectly in your Word documents.

Send both the .pdf and the reference details straight into Endnote Online with one click!

Endnote Click is a separate, free, browser extension tool that you can sign up for (use the same email address/password as you use for Endnote Online).  It works when you are on a journal article page e.g. Science Direct, Nature, PLoS, Taylor & Francis, Wiley etc. and pops up on your screen with a link to the .pdf.  

It also has its own .pdf store ('locker') so it can be used without an Endnote Online account as a way to store useful articles (although it does not do referencing on its own).

Endnote Click links in with University of Plymouth's Library subscriptions and will find the 'best quality' .pdf for you: a library subscription version or an Open Access version.  If there is no legal copy available (i.e. the article is behind a paywall and there is no Open Access version, you will be redirected to a Primo search for possible access via another provider or to an Inter Library form within Primo).
