Endnote

Apple will be releasing macOS 10.15 Catalina fall 2019. Apple has made the decision to drop all 32-bit application support with this release, which will impact EndNote. 

EndNote X9 for macOS will be extensively updated for compatibility prior to the launch of Catalina. If you already have EndNote X9, please install all updates as they become available to avoid interruption in your workflow.

EndNote X8 and earlier for macOS Users
Since Apple has made the decision to drop all 32-bit application support, we expect that macOS 10.15 Catalina will not run EndNote X8 and earlier. However, we want to continue to support you. We recommend one of two options:

• Upgrade to EndnoteX9
• If you’d prefer not to upgrade to EndNote X9, you may keep working on your current macOS. We do not recommend upgrading to Catalina with EndNote X8 and earlier as we expect major compatibility issues.

EndNote Library Basics
Adding References
Cite While You Write
 

• The Toolbar Looks Different

  • The Styles menu is located in the Reference panel in the right column of the library window.  To change the style of references in your EndNote library, click on the Styles menu in the Reference panel OR select Edit > Output Styles from the menu bar.  
  • Choose your desired style from the drop-down menu that appears.
  • For more information on Output Styles, see the Beyond the Basics page in this guide.

• Browser Selection: To enable Direct Export (automatic downloads) from electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, etc.) to your EndNote library, you must use Mozilla Firefox.  Use of other browsers (Safari, Google Chrome) to add references to your EndNote library is possible, but requires an extra step.
• For complete instructions on adding references to your EndNote library, see Adding References to EndNote. 

• How do I get Cite While You Write (CWYW)?
• Need to have Microsoft Word installed on your computer before you install EndNote.
  
• EndNote X7 is compatible with Microsoft Word 2008 and 2011.
  
• When you install EndNote on your computer, an EndNote submenu is automatically added to the Tools menu in Microsoft Word.
• Inserting Citations
  
• Open the EndNote library with the references that you wish to cite.  Prior to inserting citations, we recommend that you find duplicate references within your EndNote library.  To find duplicate references:
  
• In the Groups panel in the left column, click on All References to display all the references in your library.
  
• From the menu bar, select References > Find Duplicates.
  
• If you have duplicate references in your library, the Find Duplicates dialog box will appear.  For each set of duplicates, you have the following options:
  
• Click Keep This Record to save the preferred reference and discard the other in the trash.
  
• Click Skip to leave both references in the library. The references will be placed in a temporary Duplicate References group for later review.
