EndNote

Endnote has 500 styles available within the program and over 7000 styles available on their website but sometimes you need to install a dedicated style. At Flinders we use other style that are designed for University use. These are:

• Harvard AGPS 6th edition - (Permission to use by the University of Queensland Library)
• APA 7^th edition updated – (Permission to use by the University of Technology Sydney library)
• Australian Guide to Legal Citation 4th edition (AGLC4) - (Permission to use by the University of Western Australia Library)

The above styles have already been installed on all University computers but will need to be added to personal computers. The below instructions can be used for adding any new styles to your computer.

Directions to download style

1. Download the style from above or another site (eg. a publication company or Endnote).
2. A dialogue box will open or a download window will appear depending on what browser you are using.
3. Open the file. This will then open the Endnote program and display the style.
4. In Endnote click File > Save As
5. Name the style if not correct and click Save (eg. APA 7 Flinders)
6. Close the style window

Adding the style to Endnote

1. With Endnote open.
2. Click on the Style dropdown box, choose Select Another style... from the list.
3. After a couple of seconds, you should see the Choose A Style dialogue box. You need to scroll down the list until you see the new style you have just saved (Note that the list is in alphabetical order). You can also type the name and it should go directly there.
4. Once you have selected it, click the Choose button.
5. You will now see the name of the style appear in the Style field of Endnote.

That’s it! When you use EndNote now, this will be the style that is used to format your citations and bibliography. Also remember to choose it in Word as your reference type using the same method outlined above.

Adding AGLC 4^th Reference type table (required only if using AGLC style)

1.      Download the Legal Reference Types:

• Right-click on Australian Guide to Legal Citation 4th ed (AGLC4) - Reference Types and select Save.

If you are using a MAC refer to How to change the default Mac App for Endnote File types.

Library databases

• Different library databases operate differently with EndNote. 
• Most (but not all!) databases will allow you to import a reference directly to EndNote. Look for an option such as Export, Save Citation or Download Citation. Check the specific database help if you can't see an option to export.
• If prompted, select the format to export too (EndNote can use .RIS and .ENW files).

You can supplement your EndNote Library by attaching full-text PDFs to your references.

• From within EndNote you have the ability to annotate or highlight full-text PDFs.
• PDFs attached to your EndNote Library are searchable

Copyright principles apply to any PDF saved to your Endnote Library. For more information, see the copyright section.

There are several different methods of attaching full-text PDFs.

Option 1: Use EndNote to find full-text (via Findit@Flinders)

Step 1: Configure EndNote to find full-text articles

In most instances, EndNote is able to automatically find and attach PDFs of articles held by Flinders University Library. For this to work, you must first configure EndNote to connect with FindIt@Flinders.

Within EndNote, click on the Edit menu (if using a PC) or the EndNote menu (if using a Mac)

• Click on Preferences
• Select the Find Full Text panel at the left hand side
• Select the checkbox for OpenURL
• Add the following URLs to
  OpenURL path box:
  https://flinders.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/uresolver/61FUL_INST/openurl
  Authenticate with: URL box:
  http://ezproxy.flinders.edu.au/login?url=
• Click OK

Note: You can set EndNote to automatically find full text for all imported references by checking the box below the URLs.

Step 2: Select references to find full-text

• Select one or more references in EndNote. Maximum of 250 can be selected at one time. We suggest doing less than 100 at a time.
• Click on References
• Click on Find Full Text
• Click on Find Full Text again
• Follow the login prompts which will require you to authenticate via Okta.
• Once logged in click Continue.
• Don't interrupt the process until it is finished. Depending on the number of references being searched, this could take some time. Progress will be displayed in the left panel and show the results of the search for full-text.

Option 2: Manual import

1. Select the reference you wish to attach a PDF to.
2. In the Reference Panel (on the right side of Endnote), click the paperclip button then select the file you wish to attach. Make sure you save your changes.

Users should be aware of and adhere to copyright exceptions and database licence terms and conditions relating to full-text material that is added to an EndNote library.

The Fair Dealing for Research or Study exception contained in the Copyright Act allows you to copy limited amounts of copyright material for the purposes of research or study. For information about what copyright limits apply, refer to ‘What is Fair Dealing’ 

If you wish to share your EndNote library, only share the reference list – not the full text material attached to the library. Doing so may breach Australian copyright law or Flinders University licence agreements.

When you leave Flinders University you must delete all full-text licensed content from your EndNote library.
