Finding duplicate references

You can search for duplicate references within your EndNote library by clicking on References > Find Duplicates.
If the records are from different databases you can choose the best version of the reference and then delete the unwanted references by highlighting them and then clicking on References > Delete References.

Uploading assignments to CUOnline

Remember, before you can submit an assignment which contains EndNote references to CUOnline, you will need to reformat the document. To do this, select the Remove Field Codes icon from the EndNote toolbar in Word. A new copy of your document will be created which you can save and upload to CUOnline.

More detailed instructions can be found in the advanced workbook (task 7) on the Library's EndNote webpages

Changing the font for your list of references in Word

The default font for the list of references created in Word is Times New Roman. If you would like to change this default follow the steps below:

• From the EndNote toolbar in Word click on Format Bibliography
• Click on the Layout tab and select the Font and Size you want to use as the default

Note: You can also enter a Bibliography title which will always appear at the beginning of your list of references.

Accessing EndNote in the Library

EndNote should now be available on all PCs in the Library. Please let me know if you experience further problems. (H.Perkins@coventry.ac.uk)

Accessing EndNote from PCs in the Library

Some PCs in the Library seem to have temporarily lost the EndNote program. Unfortunately there is no way of telling whether EndNote is available on an individual PC until you have logged in and try to access it. IT Services are working on the problem and we hope to have EndNote available on all Library PCs again as soon as possible.

Importing references from the Cochrane Library

It is now possible to import references from the Cochrane Library into EndNote. Unfortunately however, the correct import filter is not yet available on the general University network.
If you use the Cochrane Library in your research then please email me (H.Perkins@coventry.ac.uk) and I can send you a copy of the filter for you to download to your own PC so that you can import your references into EndNote.

Importing references from PubMed

In order to import references from PubMed into EndNote you need to make sure that you save them in the correct format.

• From the Send to drop down menu select Clipboard.
• Click on the Clipboard tab.

• Select File from the drop down Send to menu.
