How to use EndNote 21 reference management software

EndNote Web

EndNote Web is the online counterpart to EndNote desktop and it can be used to enhance the usability of the desktop version.

Using EndNote Web allows you to:

  • Make your EndNote Desktop library available online via your EndNote Web library ("Synching" your libraries)
  • Save online references from databases and library catalogues into your EndNote library (direct export)
  • Manually enter references
  • Import references in a plain text file
  • Organise references into groups
  • Share groups with other users of EndNote Web

The 3 main advantages of using the desktop and online versions together are:

  • Search and download references from Murdoch's databases and e-collections
  • Share references with colleagues
  • Access and manage your research from anywhere

To enable syncing between your EndNote desktop and your EndNote online account, you must have registered for an EndNote web account and have syncing enabled on your EndNote desktop version.

To sync an existing EndNote Web account with EndNote Desktop so that EndNote copies all references across:

  • In EndNote Desktop, go to Edit > Preferences
  • Select 'Sync' in the Preference menu
  • Enter the email address and password associated with your EndNote Web account, and click OK. 
  • Click the Sync Status Button
    • by clicking the Sync Status button in the toolbar the sync should occur automatically
  • If you wish to sync your desktop and online libraries automatically (every 15 minutes), then tick the Sync Automatically box.

Now any changes made to your EndNote Desktop Library or EndNote Online Library will appear in both.
