EndNote: Preferences

• Allows Find Full Text
• Allows Search Online

• Click in all four of the options - Web of Knowledge Full Text Links, DOI (Digital Object Identifier), PubMed LinkOut (UI.S. National Library of Medicine), and Open URL.

• In the Open URL Path box, put the URL for our Journals List: https://sdstate-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/citationlinker?vid=01SDBOR_SDB&lang=en_US

• Authenticate with box is a bit more tricky.
  • If you are off-campus
    • http://excelsior.sdstate.edu/login?url=
    • Faculty and staff: login with computer/e-mail username and password
    • Students: login with MyState Online username and password
  • If you are on-campus - leave the box blank

When a word or acronym appears in an article or book title, EndNote will change the capitalization to meet the standard for the style you are using. To prevent EndNote from changing the capitalization of words and acronyms:

• Type a word or acronym in the box
• Click the Add button

What fields show when you are in your EndNote Library

• For each column choose what field you want to display
• Choose what you want the column heading to be

Example (based on settings above):

You can choose whether to display all the authors in the author field or just the first author.

What font do you want to see on your screen

• Choose the font EndNote will use to display the library and labels as well as any time a font is not defined elsewhere.
  • Change size too
• Does not effect citations inserted in documents

Keep or eliminate duplicates

• Choose what fields EndNote compares to find duplicates
  • Choose only exact matches
  • Choose to ignore spacing and punctuation

• When you use the searching online capabilities, you can have EndNote automatically discard duplicates of records you already have in your library

Where to put new styles and other connection files

• Choose the best location for you - default locations are not created when EndNote is installed.
• When you download a new style or other file from EndNote or another source, you will need to save the file in the location you chose.

Formatting in Your Paper

• EndNote can sometimes suggest format styles for your paper
  • This works in Microsoft Word but may not in other word processors

• You can use temporary citations that are not formatted until you are done with the paper
• Tell EndNote how to go from temporary to permanent citations

• When using temporary citations, multiple entries for one work may be in the bibliography
• Choose to merge them into one entry or not

You can tell EndNote what library to open when you open the program:

• Open the specified libraries
  • Opens a specific library every time EndNote is opened.
  • This works best if the library is stored on the computer's hard drive or a cloud storage that is synced to the computer's hard drive.
    • This does not work well if the library is stored on a flash drive or portable hard drive.
• Open the most recently used library
  • If you have multiple libraries but you use one most of the time, this is a good option.
• Prompt to select a library
  • You will be prompted to choose a library and can specify the location of the library.
  • If you share a computer this works well.
  • If you have your library on a portable drive this works well.
• Do noting
  • This opens EndNote and does not open or prompt for a library.
    • You can open a library from the File menu later.
