EndNote Web and EndNote desktop
What are the differences between EndNote Web and EndNote desktop?
Both EndNote Web and EndNote desktop allow you to import references from databases to store in your library and link to Word to automate your citing and referencing. One difference is that EndNote desktop has unlimited storage capacity whereas EndNote Web storage is limited to 10,000 references (or 25,000 references if you use it alongside EndNote desktop).
Benefits of EndNote Web include being able to share libraries with colleagues, capture references from the Web and being able to access EndNote remotely without purchasing the desktop version.
Benefits of EndNote desktop include being able to edit output styles, work offline and customise displays and work in a more sophisticated desktop environment.
It is possible to store PDFs in your EndNote desktop library. You can store PDFs in EndNote Web if you use it alongside EndNote desktop (ie if you Sync it to EndNote desktop) but not if you use EndNote Web on its own. You may find this summary of the differences useful.
How do I synchronise my references between EndNote Web and EndNote desktop?
Synchronising references is possible when you are using versions of EndNote from X6 onwards. Go into EndNote desktop and click on the blue Sync button (or go to Tools – Sync). Enter your EndNote Web login details and click OK. The first time you Sync you will be taken through the process of creating a compressed library back-up. Once this is done, it will take a short while to synchronise your libraries.
What should I do if the Synchronise option does not work?
If syncing is not working in EndNote desktop click on Edit – Preferences - Sync and make sure your EndNote Web login details are entered in the boxes and are correct. If the Sync button is greyed out it means you don't currently have an EndNote desktop library open.
Accessing EndNote desktop
How do I access EndNote desktop?
Access EndNote desktop on a Windows machine via All Programs/CardiffApps/Statistics and Databases. If you are using a University-owned Mac you can contact your Local Computing Representative who will install the EndNote software for you.
Exporting References
How do I export references from a database?
Most databases will allow you to export references into EndNote easily. Although the interface will vary, the following instructions should help with most databases:
- Search the database and then in the results list select the references in which you are interested.
- There will normally be a button at the top of your results list called something like 'Export' or 'Download', click this button.
- You will then have to select the export format from a drop-down list so make sure you select the format which lists 'EndNote' as one of the options.
Then finalise the request by clicking an Export button (you may need to click 'Open' in the browser to ensure the references export to EndNote).
What if a password is needed to connect?
It is advisable to access all of our subscription databases by first logging in to the intranet with your network username and password. Select the subject you're studying on the 'Information resources for your subject' page to view all of the databases and other e-resources associated with that subject.
You should be able to access your required database successfully, as you will be recognised as a Cardiff University member and eligible to use our subscription resources under the licensing terms of the database supplier. In a small number of cases however, different login details may be required, which are separate from your network username and password. If you see a padlock symbol next to the name of a database in our A-Z list, you will need to click on this and supply your network login to gain authorisation to view the extra password required. View a full list of these specific passwords.
How do I import references from Google Scholar?
You will need to configure Google Scholar to send references to EndNote. Then you will be able to send references to EndNote by clicking on the Import into EndNote link. Follow these steps to configure Google Scholar to send references to EndNote:
- Go to the Google Scholar home page.
- Click on the Settings link in the top right hand corner of the page.
- Under Bibliography Manager select the option Show links to import citations into and choose EndNote in the drop down box.
- Click on the Save button.
Follow these steps to import search results into EndNote:
- After performing a search on Google Scholar click on the Import into EndNote link for the reference you want to import.
- If you are presented with a window asking if you want to Open or Save the file, choose to open the file, otherwise proceed to the next step.
- A Select a Reference Library window will appear - use this window to select the EndNote library into which you want to import the reference.
What do I do if a filter is not on the network?
If a filter for a particular database is not on the University's networked version of EndNote, you may find a suitable one listed on the EndNote web site. From the website's homepage, click on the Downloads link and choose Filters. If you find an appropriate filter here, you can save it to your own filespace by following these instructions:
- Make a folder on your H drive on the university network and call it EndNote Filters.
- Save the filter file from the EndNote website to your EndNote Filters folder.
- In EndNote go to Edit > Preferences and select Folder Locations in the left-hand panel of the window which appears.
- Under Filter Folder, click on the Select Folder button.
- Make sure your EndNote Filters folder on your H drive is selected. (If it isn't, click Select Folder next to the 'Style Folder' box and then use the drop-down arrow under Drives: at the bottom right of the window to find it. Find the correct folder on your H drive and click on Select.) Then click OK.
- The program should now be set to look on your local drive to find the filter you have saved, and you can now try using it to import references from the database into your EndNote library.
Alternatively, you can ask for the filter to be tested and added to the University network. Please contact your home library or email email@example.com
How do I export references from LibrarySearch?
LibrarySearch results can currently be directly transferred to EndNote Web but not EndNote.
- Click on the Find & Request, Details, or Reviews & Tags tab beneath the record.
- Then click on Send to in the top right-hand corner of the window which opens.
- Choose EndNote Web from the drop down menu. EndNote Web will automatically open in a new window.
- Log in to your EndNote Web account and you will see a message confirming the record has been transferred.
- Click on My References in EndNote Web to see the record in your unfiled folder.
To export multiple results to EndNote Web:
- Sign in to LibrarySearch.
- Then add the items you require to your e-Shelf by clicking on the star icon next to them.
- When you have finished, select the e-Shelf link at the top right of the screen.
- Select the records you want to transfer.
- Ensure Push to EndNote Web is selected in the 'Push to' drop down menu and select Go.
If you would like to include your EndNote Web references in your EndNote desktop library, you will need to Sync your EndNote desktop and EndNote Web libraries.
What if I'm having other filter problems?
A few databases, for example ZETOC, require you to save references as a text file and then import the references from the text file into EndNote using an import filter. Firstly, check you are using the correct filter for the database from which you have saved the text file. If you are unsure of what import filter to use when exporting references from a database please consult the relevant database guide or contact your home library).
Also check that any records that you are trying to import are in text (.txt) file format.
If only part of the reference is importing, or if sections of the reference are appearing in the wrong fields in your library, it may be a fault with the filter. If this is the case then please contact your home library or email email@example.com
EndNote and Microsoft Word
What if EndNote & Word aren't connecting?
Check that you are using the latest networked versions of EndNote and Word. At the beginning of your session be sure to open the EndNote program via All Programs/Cardiff Apps/Statistics and Databases. Then, from within the EndNote program, select the EndNote library you wish to use. Next open Microsoft Word from via All Programs/Microsoft Office/Microsoft Office Word. This should ensure that the connection between the two programs is successful.
If you encounter further difficulties please contact your home library or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
How do I create separate chapter bibliographies within a single Word document?
If you want to produce a Word document containing separate chapters, each with its own bibliography, you can configure an EndNote output style to do this for you. EndNote can be instructed either to create only a bibliography at the end of each chapter, or to create a bibliography for each chapter plus a full, cumulative bibliography at the end of the whole document.
To prepare your Word document correctly, you need to insert a Section Break between each subsequent chapter after the end of the first chapter:
- Click just before the start of your second chapter.
- Go to the Page Layout tab in Word.
- In the Page Layout palette, click on the Breaks button and choose one of the available Section Breaks, e.g. Continuous.
- Repeat these steps to insert another Section Break just before the start of each of the following chapters.
Since most EndNote styles are not by default configured to generate multiple bibliographies within a single Word document, you will probably need to edit the EndNote style you want to use, by copying it to your own filespace so you can make personalised alterations:
- Open Windows Explorer (Right-click on the Start button in the lefthand corner of the screen, and choose Open Windows Explorer). Navigate to F:\Appwin7\STATISTICS_DATABASES\ENDNOTE\X7\Styles and find the style you want to use, and right-click on it and choose Copy. Now navigate to your H:\drive.
- Then you need to create a folder called EndNote Styles. Click on File – New – Folder and call the new folder EndNote Styles. Double click on the Styles folder and then right-click in the folder space and choose Paste.
- Now please rename your copy of the style to something distinguishable from the original, e.g. [Style_Name]customised.ens. This is very important to avoid confusion between files later in this process.
You now need to change the Folder Location preferences in EndNote to look on your H:\ drive to find the new Styles folder you have just created:
- In EndNote click on Edit – Preferences – Folder locations then click on the Select folder button for the Styles folder.
- Then click on the drop down menu at the top of the window and locate your H:\ drive. Click on your EndNote Styles folder.
- Click on Select – Apply – OK.
Next you need to open the EndNote Style Manager to edit your copy of the output style: in EndNote click on Edit – Output styles – Open Style Manager. You should now find that your personal copy of the style with the filename [Style_Name]customised.ens is listed alongside all the campus-wide styles from the F:\ drive. (This is why it was important to rename your style so you can distinguish it from the standard version of the style.)
Finally, you can now modify the style to create a bibliography after each section:
- On the EndNote toolbar go to Edit – Output Styles – Open Style Manager
- Highlight your copied style in the list and click Edit.
- On the new window which appears, choose Sections in the lefthand panel (5th item in the list).
- Now you have 2 options to determine how EndNote handles bibliographies in a document where you have inserted section breaks. You can either:
- Create a bibliography for each section, or
- Create a bibliography for each section and a complete bibliography at the end of the document.
- Choose your preferred option then close the style editor window by clicking on the lower cross at the top right of the screen. You will be prompted to save your changes: click Yes.
- In future, when you select this referencing style for a document in which you have created section breaks, the bibliographies for each section should be displayed according to the settings you have made in the output style.
How do I create a single bibliography from multiple Word documents?
By using the Master Document feature in Word it is possible to generate a single bibliography from multiple Word documents. This enables you to create a single cumulative bibliography even if you have many references listed in a number of different Word files.
The process is relatively complex and you are recommended to use the easier process of creating multiple chapter bibliographies within a single Word file if at all possible. However, if you do have to split your complete document into several different Word files, the following steps should guide you through the process.
Firstly, put your references into the documents as you go along in the normal way. Note that even though you are working with several Word documents, you *must* insert the EndNote references from a single EndNote Library. Do not insert references from more than one Library.
To create a single bibliography from a group of Word documents which contain EndNote references from a single library:
- Open your first Word document and click on the EndNote tab on the toolbar in Word. Then, on the Bibliography palette, use the Convert Citations and Bibliography drop-down menu to choose the option to Convert to Unformatted Citations. Save and close the document.
- Do this for each separate Word document.
- Create a New Word document.
- Click on the View tab in the Word toolbar. Then click the Outline button in the Document Views palette. This will designate the new document as a Master Document and will change the display of the document. It will also activate a new Outlining tab on the toolbar.
- Click on Show Document in the Master Document palette. This will reveal further options on the Master Document palette. Clicking on the new Insert button in this palette will open up an Insert Subdocument dialog box where you can browse to find the file containing your first chapter. Highlight the required file and click Open to insert it into the Master Document.
- NOTE: if you have collapsed subdocuments to hide their content in Outline view, make sure you expand them in order to display the contents of all subdocuments before continuing.
- In Word, click on the arrow symbol at the bottom right of the Bibliography palette within the EndNote tab on the Word toolbar. This will open the EndNote Format Bibliography dialogue box.
- Use the Style: drop-down menu to select the style you require and click on OK.
EndNote will now create a complete bibliography of all of the references contained in each of your chapters. The bibliography will be automatically placed at the end of the last subdocument containing EndNote citations which you inserted into the Master Document.
If references are changed in any of the subdocuments, the master bibliography can automatically be updated with the new changes: you will need to rerun the Format Bibliography command in the Master Document to update the complete bibliography, if changes have been made.
How do I create an independent Word bibliography without inserting citations?
- Open the library of references in EndNote.
- Make sure you have selected the style you want the references to appear in, e.g. Cardiff University Harvard.
- Select the desired references from your list in the EndNote library. You can either select them all by going to Edit > Select All on the EndNote toolbar, or you can select just some of them by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on only the ones you want from the list.
- In EndNote go to Edit > Copy Formatted on the toolbar.
- Switch to Microsoft Word and use the Paste button in the Clipboard palette on the Home tab to create a bibliography of all the references you have created.
How do I create footnotes instead of endnotes?
This can be done using Microsoft Word's footnote facility.
- In Word 2010, position the cursor at the point where you wish to insert a reference in your text. On the References tab click Insert Footnote in the Footnotes palette.
- Click in the footnote field which appears at the bottom of the page.
- On the Word toolbar click on the EndNote tab and click on Go to EndNote in the Citations palette. This should take you directly to your EndNote library if it is already open, or otherwise prompt you to open the EndNote library you wish to use.
- In EndNote highlight the reference you wish to insert then, on the EndNote toolbar, go to: Tools > Cite While You Write > Insert Selected Citation(s).
The full citation will appear in the footnote area, and also in the bibliography at the end of your document.
To make the footnote numbering begin at '1' for the start of a new chapter within the same document:
- At the beginning of each chapter, insert a Section break (to do this, click at the start of a chapter then activate the Page Layout tab in Word. Use the Breaks menu on the Page Setup palette to choose a Continuous Section Break, then click OK). Each chapter will now be treated as a separate section of the document.
- Finally, configure Word to start at '1' for the first footnote in each chapter: activate the References tab in Word and click on the small arrow symbol at the bottom right hand corner of the Footnotes palette, to show the Footnote and Endnote dialogue box. Next to Numbering, change the setting from Continuous to Restart each section in the drop-down menu, then click Apply.
Word will now begin numbering the footnotes at '1' in the new chapter.
How do I delete a citation?
You should not do this by simply deleting the text of the reference within Word because EndNote's invisible formatting codes will remain in the background. (This means that the reference you have deleted may reappear next time you open the Word document.) To remove a reference correctly from a Microsoft Word 2010 document, you must click on the reference in Word then click on the Edit & Manage Citation(s) button on the EndNote tab. Ensure the correct reference is highlighted in the window which appears, click Edit Reference and then choose Remove Citation. Then click OK.
What do I do if Word shows lots of long codes where my citations and references should be?
EndNote works with Microsoft Word by placing what are called 'field codes' in the background of your Word document wherever a citation or reference has been inserted. These codes do not normally show in Word, unless field codes are for some reason set to be displayed. You can 'turn off' field codes in a document by pressing the ALT key and the F9 function key simultaneously. This should restore the normal view of your EndNote citations in the Word document and cause the field codes to disappear.
What if the grey shading doesn't show when I click on my citations / references in Word?
Some users have reported losing the grey shading which appears in Word when you click on citations or references added via EndNote. If you encounter this issue, amend the settings in Word by going to File – Options – Advanced and scrolling down to 'Show document content'. There is an option for field shading, choose either 'Always' or 'When selected' if you wish the grey shading to appear in Word when you click on citations and references added via EndNote.
How do import a Word bibliography into EndNote?
There is not an easy solution to this problem, but there are some possible approaches which could save time. The best option to try will depend on how many references you are dealing with. Three different methods are available:
- Copy and paste references from documents into EndNote— useful for a small number of references
- Create a Tagged "EndNote Import" file— useful for longer bibliographies.
- Create a custom "tagged" format & import filter— useful for importing several different bibliographies.
To transfer the references into EndNote:
- Open the list of references in Word.
- Select a reference and copy it using the Copy button in the Clipboard palette on the Home tab of the Word toolbar.
- Open your EndNote library, and choose New Reference (CTRL+N) from the References menu to create a new reference.
- Put the cursor in the Title field of the new reference and choose Paste from the Edit menu. This will paste the entire reference into the Title field of the Reference window. From here, you can 'drag and drop' (or cut and paste) the individual pieces of data into their proper fields. Be sure to remove extra punctuation and spaces at the end of each field, and make sure author names are each on a separate line.
To import a list of references from Word into EndNote:
- Save a copy of your file and remove everything but the reference data from the file.
- Then convert the reference data into a tagged format.
Each field of data (i.e. Journal, Volume, or Title) is preceded by an identifying tag: a percent sign (%) followed by a single capital letter, number or sign. Entire references are separated by one blank line:
%0 Book
%A Geoffrey Chaucer
%T The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer
%E F. N. Robinson
%I Houghton
%C Boston
%N 2nd
%0 Journal Article
%A Herbert H. Clark
%T Hearers and Speech Acts
%B Language
%0 Thesis
%A Elena Cantucci
%T Permian strata in South-East Asia
%I University of California, Berkeley
%9 Dissertation
There is a full list of EndNote tags and reference types.
- Author names use the %A tag. Author names can appear either as Geoffrey Chaucer or Chaucer, Geoffrey. Either initials or full names are accepted.
- %A tag should repeat for each author, with the names listed one per line:
%A Jones, Mary
%A Simon, Jeff
- Once all the references are tagged save the document as a plain text file (.txt) and close the document.
- Open your EndNote library, Choose File > Import. Use the Browse button to choose the text file you have saved. Then select the correct Import option, which is EndNote Import. Now click OK and your references should be imported into the library.
If you have a large bibliography that you would like to import into EndNote, it may be possible to use the Find and Replace commands within Word to insert descriptive tags in front of some of the fields of data so that EndNote can accurately import the references. In addition to adding tags, you also need to make a filter to read your tags.
- Save a copy of your file and remove everything but the reference data from the file.
- Add descriptive field tags at the start of each reference and the filter does the rest of the work. This works well for reference lists that have clear delimiters separating the individual components of the reference (author, year, title, etc.).
Suppose your references look like this:
Jones, M. C. and Harrison, G. (1990) "Planet X" Icarus. Vol. 3 no. 4, pp. 11-23.
Billoski, T.V. (1990) "Greenhouse hypothesis" Extinction. Vol 2 no. 1, pp. 12-18.
The process of converting this bibliographic format to a tagged format would be something like this:
Search for 2 paragraph marks (since the references are separated by 1 blank line), and replace with two paragraph marks and a tag "%A" followed by a space.
The result is a tagged data file that looks like this, giving each reference on a separate line with a %A identifier before it:
%A Jones, M. C. and Harrison, G. (1990) "Planet X" Icarus. Vol. 3 no. 4, pp. 11-23.
%A Billoski, T.V. (1990) "Greenhouse hypothesis" Extinction. Vol. 2 no. 1, pp. 12-18.
As it stands these references would be imported by EndNote into the author field, in their entirety, owing to the %A tag denoting the Author field. So next you need to work out how to tag the separate parts of the reference. It may not be possible to do all of them. However, taking 'Journal Title' as an example, it can be seen that each item title is preceded by a closing quotation mark and a space. So you could use Word's Find & Replace commands to replace every instance of a quotation mark and a space with a paragraph mark and the tag %B and a space. This will get each Journal Title onto a new line with an identifier preceding it:
%A Jones, M. C. and Harrison, G. (1990) "Planet X"
%B Icarus. Vol. 3 no. 4, pp. 11-23.
%A Billoski, T.V. (1990) "Greenhouse hypothesis"
%B Extinction. Vol. 2 no. 1, pp. 12-18.
It will similarly be possible to move the article titles onto a new line with an identifier, by replacing every instance of a space followed by a quotation mark with a paragraph mark and an article title tag %T , giving:
%A Jones, M. C. and Harrison, G. (1990)
%T "Planet X"
%BIcarus. Vol. 3 no. 4, pp. 11-23.
%A Billoski, T.V. (1990)
%T "Greenhouse hypothesis"
%B Extinction. Vol. 2 no. 1, pp. 12-18.
Once you have tagged as much of the data as possible by exploiting consistent features of the data as demonstrated in these two examples, save the file (as a plain text file .txt), and create an import filter to match the tags and formats of the references.
Import the data
After you have created your tagged text file, you can use the EndNote Import filter to import the data. In EndNote go to File - Import and choose your text file. Select EndNote Import as the Filter and click OK.
If you can't get the filter to import everything exactly as you want, you may have to do some manual editing to correct this either before or after importing the data into EndNote. You might find it useful to import into a test library, then use the Change / Move / Copy Fields commands in EndNote's Tools menu, and the Find and Replace commands in the Edit menu, to clean up the data. Then, transfer these references to your real library with 'drag and drop', copy and paste, or the Import command.
Changing citation format, e.g. to include page numbers
How do I change the format of the citations in my text, for example from (Jones 1992) to (Jones)?
Do not simply edit formatted references by clicking on them in your Word document and typing changes, because alterations made in this way will not be preserved next time you open the file. Instead:
- Right-click on the formatted citation in Word, and choose Edit Citations(s)
- You can now change the display options, and add Pages, Prefixes or Suffixes. Prefixes and Suffixes are useful if you want a citation to say, for instance: (See Smith 2001), or if you want to say: (Jones 1999 and others).
Note that it is not always possible to add page numbers using the page numbers box – it depends whether the output style you are using has been set up to accept the addition of page references. If you find that page numbers you have entered in the Pages field in the Edit Citations window do not display in your citations, try adding them in the Suffix box instead, by typing, for example, pp. 4-6 in the Suffix box, then clicking OK.
How do I make corporate authors appear correctly in my citations and references?
When you type a corporate name, such as Cadbury Schweppes Ltd, in the author field of an EndNote reference, you must type a comma after the corporate name. This will cause EndNote to treat the whole name as a block of text, and prevent it from inverting the words to conventional 'Last name', 'First name' format.
How can I modify an output style if it doesn't do exactly what I want?
If you want to modify an output style, you may do this by copying the style to your own personal filespace and then editing it.
To create a copy of the style you wish to edit:
- Create a folder on your personal filespace, e.g. on your university H:\ drive, and call it EndNote Styles.
- In EndNote, go to Edit > Preferences on the toolbar.
- Select Folder Locations in the EndNote Preferences window.
- Under 'Style Folder', click on Select Folder.
- Click on the output style to select the output style you wish to edit.
- Copy the style (Ctrl + C)
- Navigate to your personal filespace (e.g. your university H:\ drive) using the drop down 'Look in' menu and paste the style into your EndNote Styles folder (Ctrl + V).
- Click on Select, then Apply and then OK.
EndNote will now be pointing to your EndNote Styles folder within your personal filespace. To edit the copied style:
- Click on Edit > Output Styles.
- Find the output style in the list then click in the box next to the left of the output style then click on Edit. You will now be able to edit the style.
- Click on File and Save to save your changes. You will now be able to view the amendments by opening a Word document and seeing the changes when the edited output style is selected. You will also be able to see the results of the modification to the style by selecting it within EndNote and viewing your references in the Preview pane of you library.
Troubleshooting preferences and settings in EndNote
The spellchecker in EndNote is greyed out. How do I activate this option?
The first time you want to perform a spell check in EndNote you may find that this option is greyed out. To activate the spell-check:
- On the EndNote toolbar, go to Edit > Preferences.
- Select Spell Check and then click on Options.
- Ensure that the options you want are ticked and then select your Main Dictionary Language from the drop-down menu e.g. British English, British English Medical etc.
- Double click on a reference in your EndNote Library to open it for editing.
- You will now see that the Spell Check option is active. Click on it and a spell check will be run on that reference.
How can I substitute the abbreviated journal names for the full names in a bibliography?
You can use the Journals term lists to store abbreviated journal names that EndNote can substitute for the full journal name in a bibliography.
EndNote's term lists are used to store terms such as keywords, author names, or journal names. You can use these stored terms when entering references to improve consistency and accuracy of information in your library.
For journal names, you can load one of a number of supplied term lists, including:
- Chemical.txt
- Humanities.txt
- Medical.txt
Each list contains a large number of journals in that subject discipline, along with a choice of widely-used abbreviations for each title. You can add your own further abbreviations to the lists once you have saved them to your own filespace as directed below.
To begin using one of the supplied term lists, you should first delete any existing terms which EndNote has already gathered from your library:
- On the EndNote toolbar, go to Tools > Open Term Lists and then select Journals Term List.
- Delete all existing terms from the list (these are automatically added as you enter references into your EndNote library). You can click and drag to highlight all terms, and then click Delete Term.
- Click on the Lists tab and highlight the Journals list.
- Click Import List.
- In the next window navigate to C:\program files\EndNote X7\Terms Lists.
- Select the list(s) you want to use and click Open to import the journal names and abbreviations from the file into the Journals term list.
If you now select an output style which is set up to convert abbreviated journal titles to full journal titles, e.g. Cardiff University OPTOM Harvard Style, when you enter abbreviations these will now be replaced by the full journal title.
You can modify an existing style yourself if required. to make it replicate abbreviations in full, or convert full names to abbreviations. See the FAQ on modifying an output style for more information.
Where have the output styles / filters / connection files gone?
It may be that EndNote is set up to look in the wrong place to find these files. To solve this issue:
- Open EndNote and go to Edit > Preferences on the EndNote toolbar.

Using EndNote on a home computer or a non-networked University computer
Can I use the EndNote software at home?
If you want to use the desktop version of EndNote at home on your own personal computer you will need to purchase a copy of the software. There is a student and staff discount option on the Bilaney Consultants website who are the preferred distributors of Thomson Reuters, the makers of EndNote.
Alternatively you can register for EndNoteWeb. Although possessing less functionality than the networked version, EndNote Web provides the option of accessing EndNote off-campus and free of charge. For details on how to get started, see our EndNote Web FAQs.
Can I have a copy of the EndNote software installed on a non-networked University computer?
If it is a University-owned desktop computer or laptop then you are entitled as a member of the University to have a free copy of the EndNote software installed If you are in a School contact your Local Computing Representative in the first instance. Members of the Professional Services should email firstname.lastname@example.com.
How can I register for EndNote Web?
Sign up on campus
Go to EndNote Web and at the 'Authentication Preference Selection' page select IP Authentication, then click on Continue. Next click on Sign Up.
Please note: After 12 months of off-campus only use, an EndNote Web account will be de-activated. The account will remain de-activated until it is re-activated on-campus (however, any libraries, references, personal settings, etc. will be saved). If an EndNote Web account is not re-activated on-campus six months after being de-activated all personal data will be lost.
Sign up off campus
GO to EndNote Web and at the 'Authentication Preference Selection' page select Institutional (Shibboleth) Authentication, then click on Continue. Next click on Sign Up.
Please note: that you will need to login to EndNote Web once every 12 months to keep your registration alive. This can be done either by logging in to your EndNote account from an on campus machine, or by logging into EndNote off campus via the institutional login (Shibboleth) link found on the EndNote Web log-in page.
How can I use the Cardiff University Harvard style if I have bought EndNote to use on my home computer?
Click on the file below to access the Cardiff University Harvard style. Please note that the file will open in EndNote, so you will need to have EndNote already installed on your home PC.
- The file will open as a Cardiff University Harvard.ens file. Save the file to the C:\EndNote\Styles folder on your home computer.
- Then go to Edit – Preferences and select Folder Locations.
- In the Style folder, click on the Select Folder... button.
- Select the drive where you saved the file, using the drop-down arrow under Drives: at the bottom right of the window. Find the .ens file you saved and click on Select Folder. Then click OK.
- EndNote should now be set to look on your C:\ drive to find the Cardiff University Harvard style and you will now be able to display all your references in this style.
Converting to / from older versions of EndNote
How can I convert libraries created with older versions to open them in the latest version of EndNote?
EndNote version 8 and and all newer versions are mutually compatible, meaning that EndNote libraries that were created using EndNote 8 or above can all be opened by all newer versions of the software. If you have an older library that was created using EndNote version 7 or earlier, you can convert the library to the newer format as follows:
- In EndNote desktop go to File > Open > Open Library.
- Select the old EndNote library file you wish to convert.
- EndNote desktop will create a new copy of your original library and leave the original library unchanged.
- You can now work with the new copy in EndNote desktop but be aware that modifications you make in this new version of the library will not be replicated in the original library that was created in the earlier version of EndNote.
How do I open libraries created with EndNote 8 onwards in older versions of EndNote?
Libraries created in Endnote 8 onwards are not backwards-compatible with previous versions. To use EndNote 8 onwards libraries with an older version of EndNote you will need to import the library from EndNote 8 onwards into the older version of the program:
- Open the library in EndNote 8 onwards and make sure all references are showing.
- Select Refer Export as the output style.
- Go to File > Export, enter a file name, and save the file to a convenient location such as the Desktop.
- Next, in the older version of EndNote, create a new library or open an existing one.
- Go to File > Import.
- Click the Choose File button and select the text file you just created.
- Under Import Option select Refer/BibX.
- Click the Import button.
Merging two libraries
How do I merge two libraries together?
Open one of your libraries and go to File > Import on the toolbar. Use the Browse button to find the second library you wish to import into the open library. Choose the EndNote Library Import Option and pick the appropriate Duplicates setting, depending on how you wish EndNote to deal with duplicate references which appear in both the libraries. Click on Import and the references from the second library will appear in the library which is currently open.
Be aware that whenever you add references to a library they are each assigned a unique record number, in the order in which they were added to the library. This means that references imported into a new library will be assigned a new record number after importing. Consequently, you will not be able to use the new merged library to format papers that have already have citations with the older record numbers from the previous non-merged libraries.
Further help
How can I get further help with EndNote?
You can access the EndNote company's own Knowledge Base and Frequently Asked Questions.
You can also contact your home library or email email@example.com if you need further advice.

Man jumps in front of truck on I-5
EUGENE, Ore. -- A man sitting on the median of Interstate 5 stepped into traffic and jumped into the patch of an oncoming truck.
The identity of the deceased pedestrian had not been confirmed as of Sunday evening.
Police said the incident was first reported as a subject jumping off an overpass, but troopers confirmed the pedestrian jumped into the path of a commercial truck after walking into the northbound lanes.
According to OSP Trooper Cale Day, on Sept. 11, 2011, at approximately 5 p.m. a commercial truck pulling a semi-trailer loaded with groceries was northbound on Interstate 5 near milepost 192, a two lane construction work zone over the Willamette River.
As the commercial truck was traveling in the right lane, the truck driver and witnesses said the pedestrian was seated on the median concrete divider before getting up and walking into the left northbound lane.
The truck driver saw the pedestrian slowly walking into the left lane and moved as far right as he could before the pedestrian dove in front of the truck.
The adult male pedestrian was pronounced deceased at the scene. His name will be released pending positive identification and confirmation of next of kin notification.
The 53-year-old truck driver was not injured.
The northbound lanes were closed until 7:30 p.m. during the scene investigation.
OSP troopers from the Springfield Area Command office are continuing the investigation. Lane County Sheriff's Office, Springfield Police Department, local fire personnel, and ODOT assisted at the scene.
A detour took drivers off of I-5 at Franklin Blvd., through Eugene to Coburg Road, and onto eastbound I-105 to reconnect with I-5 northbound.

FMCG firms target US Hispanics
4 September 2013
NEW YORK: An increasing number of multinational consumer goods companies are adapting their sales strategies from Latin America to target the US Hispanic market, according to industry insiders.
reported in the Financial Times
, companies such as Nestlé, Kimberly-Clark and Clorex are seeking to build on their strengths in Latin America to inform their appeal to US Hispanics, whose purchasing power was worth $1.2tr in 2012.
Lizette Williams, senior brand manager for multicultural strategy at Kimberly-Clark, said the company's position as the market leader in nappies in Mexico had helped it to secure the biggest market share among US Hispanics.
Nestlé adapted its Abuelita hot chocolate and La Lechera condensed milk brands to the needs of acculturated Mexican-Americans, who preferred a quick-stir powder to save time rather than use the traditional product that can take up to 15 minutes to make.
Clorex, meanwhile, introduced its heavily scented Fraganzia household cleaner a year ago after discovering that many Hispanics prefer fragranced products.
The company applied experience gained from its Poett brand in Argentina and its Mistolin cleaners in Venezuela and Puerto Rico to assist the Fraganzia launch.
David Cardona, director of multicultural sales at Clorex, said: "One of the things we're very good at is leveraging our strength in Latin America to inform the things we should be doing here in the US."
However, he cautioned that brands needed to adapt to the US market and should not expect simply to rely on importing unmodified products from Latin America.
US Hispanics currently number 53m, making them the country's largest ethnic minority at 17% of the population, with numbers expected to grow to 31% by 2060.

Every year, over 2,000 student athletes from eighth grade through community college participate
in the Team of Physicians for Students (TOPS) sports screenings. The screenings are held on a Saturday, in the late
spring or early summer. In 2014, there were three separate screenings, held on different days, in
different Phoenix area locations.
The TOPS program works to promote the well-being of high school and college student athletes by
providing FREE sports physicals screenings, with cardiac testing, to students participating
in interscholastic athletics or associated activities. These screenings, which fulfill school-mandated
student athlete requirements for a physical examination, take less than two hours to complete. Since
the program's inception in 2001; TOPS has provided sports screening physicals to over 28,000 Arizona
student athletes in over 80 schools. More than 28,000 ECGs, and 3,800 echocardiograms have been provided
FREE of charge. Each year TOPS finds three to six students with previously, undiagnosed, cardiac
conditions, that require follow-up with a cardiologist.
TOPS is proud of its record of service. While several national heart organizations feel that the benefit
of this type of screening is outweighed by the cost; TOPS continues to provide this service free of charge, year after year.

United Nations:
Oil for Food Program Audits
GAO-05-346T: Published: Feb 15, 2005. Publicly Released: Feb 15, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8979
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Oil for Food program was established by the United Nations and Iraq in 1996 to address concerns about the humanitarian situation after international sanctions were imposed in 1990. The program allowed the Iraqi government to use the proceeds of its oil sales to pay for food, medicine, and infrastructure maintenance. Allegations of fraud and corruption have plagued the Oil for Food program. As we have testified and others have reported, the former regime gained illicit revenues through smuggling and through illegal surcharges and commissions on Oil for Food contracts. The United Nations' Independent Inquiry Committee was established in April 2004 to investigate allegations of corruption and misconduct within the Oil for Food program and its overall management of the humanitarian program. In January 2005, the Committee publicly released 58 internal audit reports conducted by the United Nations' Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS). GAO (1) provides information on OIOS' background, structure, and resources; (2) highlights the findings of the internal audit reports; and (3) discusses limitations on the audits' coverage.
Before the United Nations established OIOS, the United States and other member states had criticized its lack of internal oversight mechanisms. In 1993, the United States proposed the establishment of an inspector general position within the United Nations and withheld U.S. funds until such an office was established. In 1994, the General Assembly created OIOS and tasked it with conducting audits, investigations, inspections, and evaluations of U.N. programs and funds. OIOS has generally provided audit reports to the head of the U.N. agency or program subject to the audit but also provided certain reports of interest to the General Assembly. However, this limited distribution hampered member states' efforts to oversee important U.N. programs. In December 2004, the General Assembly directed OIOS to publish the titles and summaries of all audit reports and provide member states with access to these reports on request. The audit reports released in January 2005 found deficiencies in the management of the Oil for Food program and made numerous recommendations. We identified 702 findings in these reports. Most reports focused on U.N. activities in northern Iraq, the operations of the U.N. Compensation Commission, and the implementation of U.N. inspection contracts. In the north, OIOS audits found problems with coordination, planning, procurement, asset management, and cash management. For example, U.N. agencies had purchased diesel generators in an area where diesel fuel was not readily available and constructed a health facility subject to frequent flooding. An audit of U.N.-Habitat found $1.6 million in excess construction material on hand after most projects were complete. OIOS audits of the U.N. Compensation Commission found poor internal controls and recommended downward adjustments totaling more than $500 million. The United Nations asserted that OIOS had limited audit authority over the Commission. Finally, OIOS audits of the contractors inspecting Iraq's oil exports and commodity imports found procurement irregularities and limited U.N. oversight. OIOS' audits and summary reports revealed deficiencies in the management and internal controls of the Oil for Food program. However, OIOS did not examine certain headquarters functions--particularly OIP's oversight of the contracts for central and southern Iraq that accounted for 59 percent or almost $40 billion in Oil for Food proceeds. The Independent Inquiry Committee noted several factors that limited OIOS' scope and authority. First, OIOS did not believe it had purview over the humanitarian contracts because the sanctions committee approved the contracts. Second, the U.N. Office of the Iraq Program steered OIOS toward programs in the field rather than at headquarters. Third, the Office of the Iraq Program refused to fund an OIOS risk assessment of its program management division. Finally, U.N. management and the Office of the Iraq Program prevented OIOS from reporting its audit results directly to the Security Council.

Procedure: MCP joint
reconstruction of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint using a bone graft
Other Name: MCP joint reconstruction
Detailed Description:
The metacarpophalangeal joint is vital for hand function. Cartilage loss of the joint is central to the development of joint failure in arthritis. Although various treatments have been proposed, the management remains a challenging problem.Previous anatomical studies have shown that, at the base of the metacarpal, there were nutrient arteries inserting into the dorsum of the metacarpal. The nutrient arteries arise from the distal and middle dorsal carpal arches that run distally to the first to fourth dorsal metacarpal arteries (DMAs. These studies prompt us to use a reverse vascularized cartilage and bone graft based on the DMA. The metacarpal consists of a widened proximal base. The joint surface to the capitate is convex anteriorly and dorsally concave, where it extends to the styloid process on the dorsolateral aspect of the metacarpal base. The unique contour stimulates our imagination and creativity to use a portion of the joint surface for reconstruction of metacarpophalangeal joint defects. The purpose of this study is to report the novel technique and to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment.

There must be different version of Essence lipsticks, this is #40 Look at Me.
In short, hated it. Why? It is frosted, yes, the kind of 1960's frosted lipstick, the actual colour does not appeared true because of the frosting, it looks like a greyish shiny hue floating on top of the actual lipstick colour.
It can be useful to dab on the center lower lip as a highlight.
I also bought 02 Sparkling Romance, looks like a brown-pink nude colour with lots of frost, the same comment applies. Otherwise, I think the lipstick is of good quality, for under $3.

This was not a flattering color on my medium skin tone. It is a frosty nude brown with a hint of pink which I thought would look nice but the frost factor kinda ruined it for me. Application was smooth and it had a nice scent. It is very affordable too. I think I will try other shades though as this color didn't work for me. I have seen Essence at Walgreens and Ulta and it was less than 3 dollars for those who want to check these lipsticks out.

Cruelty Free and only $3 and some change. I enjoy it but just not adore it. It is great for putting over something else. Not all that fond of the smell, packaging or staying power, but again for only 3 bucks, it is not bad at all. I like how it does have shimmer and or frost, but not over kill on it. It is great to put over a bland nude to kind of finish off a look. I like it and will re-purchase. Essence is a little gem brand that is really inexpensive and always worth it for a try!

its a frosty, brownish purple color on me (medium beige skin). i like it better than the non frosty ones of essence lipsticks because it stays longer on the lips. for my skin tone, i prefer to wear it only in autumn/winter.

I must agree with the previous reviewer that this lipstick would probably look a lot better on darker skin tones. On a ghost-like pale girl like me it looks like I ate come chocolate cupcakes and didn't entirely wipe my mouth clean. I'm also not a fan of the sweet scent the lipstick has, but on the bright side, I can't feel it anymore after I'm done applying it. As the previous reviewer also mentioned, it's not too long lasting. But I wouldn't say that I've completely wasted my money, because I've found a way to make it work for me. After applying the lipstick I firstly pat the glitter/shimmer off and then apply one of the essence nude lip glosses on top. It looks good, but since I'm not much of a glossy look fan in general, I like to pat some of the gloss off as well. So basically what I achieved is making the lipstick a lot more matte and also a lighter color. I like this look I get, it is a nice, nude lip for a pale girl like me and it doesn't wash me out :)

This is a shiny frosty brownish pink color that doesn't look very flattering on my NW15 skintone but would probably look much better on ladies with darker skin. It has some sparkles which are more visible in artificial lighting and they make the color appear even frostier than it really is. It has the typical fruity bubblegum Essence lipstick scent that I quite like. The staying power isn't good, an hour or two at best. The consistency is really thin but it does glide on the lips easily. It is more similar in texture to a lip balm than a lipstick.
It is a nice product for teenage girls but there's so much better stuff out there for the same price or even cheaper (NYX, e.l.f.). The packaging looks super cheap but at least the lipstick twists all the way down.

ICT and Education
The use and integration of ICT in building inclusive knowledge societies for all and for overall socio-economic development is increasingly on the agenda of almost all developing countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. ICT are seen as an important catalyst and accelerator for development, having the ability to attract investment, create job opportunities, promote knowledge building and sharing, facilitate innovation and contribute to good governance and more efficient and transparent provision of public services. ICT facilitate inclusiveness by enabling citizens anywhere to access information and knowledge. ICT together with education empower citizens to be aware of their rights and to participate actively in shaping public policy, governance and development.
In the development of inclusive knowledge societies the education and training sector is mainly responsible for producing skilled human resources required by industry as well as citizens who can participate in building a well governed society. ICT in turn can contribute to widening access to education, improving educational management and addressing issues of quality and relevance of the education system that are perennially faced by developing countries.
GESCI's work is focused on addressing these major issues facing education today by helping countries and partners leverage the power and potential of ICT.
Improving access and equity: GESCI assists countries to consider the appropriate uses of ICT in order to take learning beyond the classroom. Examples include addressing the shortage of teachers required for Universal Primary Education (UPE), extending vocational skills training to underprivileged or marginalized populations, creating new electronic learning materials to support teaching and learning and using ICT to reach students with special needs to enable them to participate effectively in learning and to thus make education truly inclusive.
Improving quality of education: Education reports from almost all developing countries point to quality as one of the biggest issues developing country education systems face. The 2010 EFA Global Monitoring Report notes that "Many countries are failing the quality test.ICT play an important role in improving the quality of education in developing countries. Much of GESCI's work in the past, and indeed the technology in education community's work has focused on issues of quality. Interventions supported have included the creation of digital learning materials and guidelines for evaluating digital content, development of teachers' ICT competencies, and review and modification of ICT curricula.
Improving the efficiency of education systems: The education system is a complex system that requires good management and administration if it is to be efficient and effective. ICT have proven themselves in almost every other industry, especially the private sector and increasingly in the public sector as well, in supporting management and administration. ICT enable teacher, planners, managers and policy makers to access to educational data when they need it. ICT also enable direct interaction between schools and teachers with parents fostering community engagement. They can be used to promote transparency and openness by making educational data including financing available to the public. This potential of ICT is acknowledged by governments with the deployment of Educational Management Information Systems (EMIS) in many developing countries. GESCI has worked on various EMIS initiatives aiming to strengthen educational management and improve transparency.
ICT and the demand for new skills: ICT skills make a critical contribution to socio-economic development because of their central importance to the knowledge economy. ICT can also contribute to the development of other important knowledge economy "new millennium" skills such as critical thinking, information retrieval, analytical capacity, problem solving, communication and ability to understand and manipulate new media. Another dimension to skills development can be found in the technical and vocational training sector where the introduction and use of ICT to develop ICT skills and competencies is in great demand.
ICT – not a magic bullet! Context, feasibility and suitability matter
It is wrong and dangerous to imagine that ICT is a panacea or magic bullet for the legions of problems and challenges facing education and training today. Placing ICT in schools will not automatically improve teaching or learning or even guarantee the acquisition of ICT skills. ICT is only a tool - an enabling platform with a lot of potential - but the focus should be on addressing educational challenges, objectives and priorities. Furthermore, developing countries must look at their own context, and be aware of the role other factors, such as the availability of electricity, play in their educational contexts.
Other challenges that countries must address to realize the potential of ICT include the limited and expensive ICT infrastructure, and a weak policy environment and human and institutional capacity constraints. ICT infrastructure is now increasingly available which is why it is even more important to address issues of policy and capacity. Governments need to develop enabling policies based on vision and evidence as well as operational strategies to implement the policies. They also need to develop human and institutional capacities including raising awareness of the potential of new technology and how best to exploit these new technologies in new approaches and solutions to existing challenges such as education for all, efficient education management, openness and good governance.
The development of inclusive knowledge societies that grants all citizens access to education, information, freedom of speech and employment can be significantly accelerated by ICT but such developments must also be guided by concern for the environment, making sure that issues such as e-waste are taken care of in sustainable ways and that mechanisms are devised to ensure the benefits are made available to all and not only privileged groups.
GESCI assists countries to think through the various issues helping develop the required awareness, understanding and capabilities for government agencies all the way down to the learning delivery agents.

The statistics on peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are staggering. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that approximately 8 million people in the United States have PAD. This includes 12 to 20 percent of people over the age of 60. Accordingly, appropriate testing for this condition is essential.
BioMedix has developed PADnet, which offers an automated means of obtaining ankle-brachial index (ABI)/toe-brachial index (TBI) values and pulse volume recording (PVR) waveforms. This easy-to use, 10- to 20-minute test can help identify obstructive disease in patients and determine whether medical or surgical treatment is necessary, according to BioMedix.
BioMedix highlights PADnet's ease and timeliness, noting that one can send test results instantly to a vascular specialist for interpretation. Specialists can review results at their convenience from any secure Internet connection in the world. Not only does the system ensure both speed and error-free transmission, it does so while maintaining HIPAA compliance, explains the company.
Farshid Nejad, DPM, FACFAS, notes he has been using PADnet for approximately three years, adding that its usefulness, ease and consistency are advantages that help PADnet outshine similar devices.
"We were using another device but it was too cumbersome and time consuming so at times, we would refer out so we didn't tie up our exam rooms," explains Dr. Nejad. "We use PADnet more frequently than we did our previous device, yielding a win-win situation for the patient and our practice."
The device self-calibrates before each use and provides numerical and graphical readings, which the physician can easily and effectively communicate to the patient, adds Dr. Nejad, a Fellow of the American Professional Wound Care Association.
Not only can physicians easily communicate results to patients, PADnet helps facilitate patient adherence, allowing for routine testing with the system annually, notes Angela L. Drury, DPM, FACFAS. "I use PAD testing for all my diabetic patients, especially when evaluating them for the vascular component of comprehensive diabetic foot exam," explains Dr. Drury, who is in practice in Albuquerque, N.M. "I also use PADnet for any patient that is seeing me for foot care and is in the age group of risk for PAD."
According to Dr. Drury, PADnet allows her to incorporate the highest level of patient care and she emphasizes its importance when evaluating the vascular component of the comprehensive diabetic foot examination.
With the multitude of advantages using PADnet, Dr. Nejad notes it is a great asset to his practice. "PADnet is well worth the investment as we are doing more exams in less time. This makes the patient feel more at ease when the exam is short and sweet," explains Dr. Nejad. "Because the device requires less involvement from the operator, there is less user error and more consistent results."
