PERFECT introduction to an AMAZING piece of software. Why did my friend (who just finished her Doctorate in English Literature) have to tell me about this. Why isn't it orientation day 101 with the University? Are they intentionally trying to make things hard, or intentionally trying to make you do as much work as possible? (Perhaps so we understand it from the ground-up before we "get lazy" and use tools like this?!?!?!?!) Love it, and this intro video was GREAT.

Adding citations from the online search results directly into Word no longer seems to be supported in Endnote 20 compared to previous versions. This adds several extra steps and is quite frustrating. Or is there some way to add a citation into Word without having to go switch to a library after searching online?

[@thisisbryce6358]

Thank you for the super informative yet easy-to-follow tutorial!

[@winterybanana]

thank you so much for this video! now I feel that I'm not completely clueless as to where to even start with citations and libraries...

[@navidmadani3167]

It is most unfortunate that the PDF preview functionality was removed from EN20. EN20 now requires users to launch an external PDF viewer each time. Why?! Up to X9, this was an available feature. Compared to X9, EN20 also wastes a lot of screen real estate. Everyone who upgraded to EN20 and spoke out on EndNote's public forums was disappointed with EN20.

[@umberdarilek1637]

I wish I had known this before I purchased the upgrade.

[@EndNoteTraining]

Hi, Umber; thanks very much for your post - Clarivate reintroduced the PDF preview screen as part of the Reference panel on the library window in the EndNote 20.1 update.

Thank you. Can´t find the insert citation button in EndNote. Is it only possible to insert from Word?

[@EndNoteTraining]

Hello, Koya: Thanks for your comment - the Insert Citation interface is only available from within Microsoft Word. From EndNote, you can highlight one or more references from your library, then press Alt + 2 on your keyboard to trigger an alternate command called Insert Selected Citation(s). Please let us know if this information is helpful.

[@elhamfarag5346]

Thanks to your effort. it is useful for me, but how can I modify reference style???

[@EndNoteTraining]

Hi, Elham: You can edit any output style by opening the style file from your EndNote Style Manager window (Tools>Output Styles>Open Style Manager...). The process for making specific changes would depend on what you're looking to modify. I'd recommend opening a ticket with the EndNote Product Support team for additional assistance applying output style edits: www.endnote.com/support

Hi, for some reason, when I click on insert citation, it reads out as "Class not registered" I have an account on Endnote and have been able to add references in the browser. But when I try to add that citation on Word, it comes up with that error. What do I do?

[@EndNoteTraining]

Hi, Kaitlyn - we're sorry to hear about your trouble with Cite While You Write. This particular error message is most likely related to your Windows Registry. The steps in the following knowledge article may help resolve the problem: support.clarivate.com/Endnote/s/article/EndNote-Invalid-Class-String-message-appears-while-working-in-Word?language=en_US However, if this doesn't resolve the issue, or you'd prefer to walk through the knowledge article instructions with a Product Support representative, please open a support ticket: www.endnote.com/support

[@himanshuaggarwal9080]

I find it very helpful to store my EN library on the cloud as I can access it on my different computers but as mentioned in the video it has a high risk of library corruption. How do they corrupt? Please educate us, I am clueless.

[@EndNoteTraining]

Hello, Himanshu: Thanks very much for the question. Your EndNote library consists of multiple database files. The EndNote application writes to these files in an order that usually conflicts with how a sync service synchronizes its folders, leading to EndNote library corruption. So long as you're aware of the risk and backing up your EndNote library frequently, it's your choice if you'd like to store a library you're actively developing within a third-party sync service. It is safe to save backup copies of your EndNote libraries inside local sync folders. EndNote 20 includes a built-in solution called Sync, which coordinates the contents of a particular EndNote library between multiple computers via EndNote online. If you choose to rely on EndNote Sync, you will want to seriously consider saving your designated EndNote Sync library inside an unsynced local folder. Avoiding this type of folder for EndNote libraries you're actively syncing with EndNote online helps to avert potential sync issues and an increased risk of encountering library corruption. We hope this advice is helpful, but please feel free to open a ticket with EndNote Product Support for further assistance: www.endnote.com/support

[@EndNoteTraining]

Hello, Sarimah: thanks very much for your question - you'd need to add your references to an EndNote library and then reinsert your in-text citations using the EndNote add-in for Microsoft Word. You'll save more time starting a project with EndNote, but you will still experience benefits if you're looking to apply various formatting styles to your completed research project.

I couldn't insert footnotes in Chicago style. Besides, the insert citation button disappeared in this version. How can I do that??

[@EndNoteTraining]

Hello, Bill: thanks for your comment and apologies for the trouble inserting a footnote reference. Be sure to create your footnote first using Microsoft Word to do so. Typically, you'll find the Insert Footnote command on Word's References tab. After inserting a footnote, make sure your cursor is flashing within the document window's footnote area, and then use EndNote to add your formatted footnote reference. If you'd like to highlight an entry within your library to add to your Word document, after selecting the reference, click Tools > Cite While You Write [CWYW] > Insert Selected Citation(s). Alternately, press Alt + 2 to trigger the Insert Selected Citation(s) command without selecting a drop-down menu. Make sure you're formatting your Microsoft Word document with the Chicago 16th Footnote or Chicago 17th Footnote output style. Please let us know if this advice is helpful.

You're describing the appearance of a temporary citation, which acts as a placeholder until EndNote creates the appropriately formatted in-text citation.

Can I use Pages with Endnote 20, and then export it easily as a Word document for submissions? will it lose all the formatting?

[@EndNoteTraining]

Hello, random_lulu: thanks very much for your question. Apple developed an EndNote plug-in for Pages to cite and format in-text citations and an accompanying bibliography. You can review a recent webinar recording focusing on this topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4SzaX2VoLJjrpY The EndNote add-in for Pages is not very similar to the Cite While You Write tools in Word but will help you achieve a similar end-goal. All formatting should remain intact after final submission. Still, the EndNote links will become damaged if you convert the Pages file format to a different extension like .docx for Microsoft Word.

[@EndNoteTraining]

Hello, Amrit: thanks very much for your comment, and sorry to hear about your article downloading trouble. You can always manually attach PDF articles you download from the web. Still, several automated options are available for capturing full-text articles associated with references stored within your EndNote library. One of the more straightforward solutions is called Find Full Text. To use this feature, highlight one or more references (up to 250 at once) in your library and click "References > Find Full Text > Find Full Text." By default, the Find Full-Text search in EndNote will locate open-access publications. Still, you may be able to include additional providers via organizational affiliation by adding an OpenURL server address to the Find Full Text tab of the EndNote 20 Preferences window. Alternatively, an optional browser extension called EndNote Click may be of interest to you: click.endnote.com/ The EndNote Click browser extension is compatible with over 20,000 scholarly sites, and the tool will help you export both reference metadata to add to your EndNote library along with the associated PDF article at the same time.
