Ways to add references to EndNote library Direct export Online search Import PDF Manual input Import file EndNote Library

Method 1: Direct export Export references directly from a database Steps Select records required Look for an option to save/output/export/send to EndNote (sometimes labeled as “RIS format”) Click “Open” to download records to EndNote library Databases Web of Science FindMore Google Scholar

Method 2: Online search Searches free databases and library catalogues within EndNote (e.g. our library catalogue, Library of Congress) Steps Go to Online Search Mode > More Select a free database or catalogue, e.g. NATL U of Singapore In the online search pane, search by exact title of book Copy the reference to Local Library Mode

2. Select more 1. Click on Online Search Mode (Temporary Library) Search by the exact title

Method 3: Import PDFs Extracts references from PDF files. PDFs must contain a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and is not a scanned document. Steps File menu > Import Choose either File or Folder Change Import Option to PDF Note If the author, title, journal, etc, fields are not auto-populated, then the PDF is of the incorrect format

Method 4: Manual Inputting Link to the video: http://youtu.be/30u5_b9d5D4

Method 5: Import File Requires saving references selected as a text file (*.txt) and importing it to EndNote library using an appropriate filter Used for very few databases, e.g. Factiva, where the references cannot be exported to EndNote library directly Refer to EndNote LibGuide > Importing references for the specific steps

Tips No limit to the number of references in each library but < 100,000 is recommended Always move/copy/rename/delete both the main *.enl file & associated *.Data folder together Always make a backup copy Save as a compressed library (*.enlx) for larger files

Tips Groups provide a useful way of organising the references into subsets for easy viewing Remove duplicates References > Find duplicates Custom groups References are added manually to each group Smart Groups Uses search criteria to dynamically update references in them

HyperText Markup Language (HTML) Websites HyperText Markup Language (HTML)

What is LaTeX?

About LaTeX A document markup language & document preparation system for high quality typesetting Based on TeX, a low-level markup and programming language created by Donald Knuth in 1977 for use in computer typesetting A LaTeX document is a plain text file containing the document content with additional markup When the source file is processed by the macro package, it produces documents in several formats (DVI, PDF, PostScript, PNG, JPEG, etc)

Using LaTeX Requires a bunch of tools, minimally, TeX distribution - a collection of packages and programs (compilers, fonts, and macro packages) Text editor E.g. TeXworks, LyX (Windows, Linux and Mac OS), TeXstudio (cross platform open source), WinEdt (Windows), etc Viewer (DVI or PDF) TeX distributions Descriptions MacTeX TeX Live based distribution for Mac OS X MiKTeX For Windows TeX Live Cross-platform

Create a bibliography in a LaTex document Method 1: Embed the references at the end of the LaTeX document as shown in the following example. Just before the \end{document} command, \begin{thebibliography}{9} \bibitem{lamport94} Leslie Lamport, \emph{\LaTeX: A Document Preparation System}. Addison Wesley, Massachusetts, 2nd Edition, 1994. \end{thebibliography} Unique ref_key Start Actual reference End

Use the \cite command to cite references within the text List of references used in document

Create a bibliography in a LaTex document Method 2: Using the ancillary tool BibTeX BibTeX provides for the storage of all references in an external, flat-file database which can be linked to any LaTeX document. Citations can then be made to any reference that is contained within the file. A BibTeX database is a plain text file and is stored as a *.bib file which is easily edited using a GUI management system such as JabRef or Mendeley (cross platform)

\cite{bibtex_key} \bibliographystyle{plain} \bibliography{bib_filename}

Sample of a BibTeX entry bibtex key (unique) @article{greenwade93, author = "George D. Greenwade", title = "The {C}omprehensive {T}ex {A}rchive {N}etwork ({CTAN})", year = "1993", journal = "TUGBoat", volume = "14", number = "3", pages = "342--351" }

JabRef

JabRef Is an open source reference management software (Free) Current version 2.9.2, http://jabref.sourceforge.net Is Java-based, so is platform/OS independent Uses BibTeX files (*.bib) as its native format Provides a easy-to-use GUI for editing BibTeX entries Provides filters to import other file format (e.g. *.ris) and data from databases such as Medline, JSTOR, etc

Exercise Create a *.bib file in JabRef Import references from Web of Science Scopus FindMore Google Scholar Generate bibtex keys Create groups to manage bibtex entries Find duplicates Export > HTML table (with abstract & bibtex)

BibTeX key auto generation Shows the bibtex format of the reference

Exchange between EndNote & JabRef EndNote file (*.enl) Export Plain text file (*.txt) Using Output style: BibTeX Export Direct Import Import option: Reference Manager (RIS) Change file extension from *.txt to *.bib Direct Import *.ris Export JabRef (*.bib) File of types: RIS (*.ris) Note: BibTeX key will not be generated by EndNote
