All you need is a standard PC/laptop or Mac with access to the internet. Please check the system requirements for browser compatibility. To use the Cite While You Write (CWYW) tool to create bibliographies you will need to install the CWYW plug-in.

Yes. Once you have created your account, you can access it from any PC with internet access. You can login or go to http://myEndNoteweb.com.

Yes.

1. Click on the Access EndNote Online link and follow the registration procedure
2. Type in the email address you wish to register your account with (you may want to use a personal one as you can keep your account after you have left Warwick)

Although you can do some limited work off-line, to get the most out of EndNote Online, you need to be online so that you have access to your references.

Each time you login to your account from the Library’s homepage, your account is associated with the University for the next year. This means that you get access to some additional features, including hundreds of different referencing styles. When you leave Warwick and your year expires, you can continue to access your account but you will only have access to 20 different referencing styles.

If you join another institution that uses EndNote Online you may have to ask them to re-assign your Warwick account to the new institution. You can also save your references in a variety of formats for use with EndNote or other reference management packages.

If you are using EndNote X6 or later you can sync your desktop library with your online library.

Export the references from RefWorks. In your EndNote Online account, click on the Collect > Import References. Click the Browse button and find the file you have just saved. Under Filter, select RIS Format. Click Import.

Unfortunately not. EndNote Online needs to use tags to know what to do with the information. Most Word or Excel documents are not tagged in this way, so it is not possible to import the references. It is usually easier to type the references manually, or search for them again and export the results into EndNote Online.

You can store up to 50,000 references.

You can assign Read Only or Read and Write access to colleagues to enable them to view references in specified groups. To share specific groups:

1. Click on the Organize tab
2. Click the Manage Sharing button next to the group you wish to share and then select Start sharing this group. On the next screen, add the email address that your colleague used to create their EndNote Online account and click Apply
3. The next time your colleague logs into their account, they will be able to view your group. To stop sharing a group, simply go to the Organize tab and click the Modify Sharing button next to the relevant group. You can then delete any email addresses from the list

Click on the Organize tab, then select Find Duplicates. This will find any duplicated records in your account and allow you to decide whether you wish to keep or delete them. You cannot limit the Find Duplicates feature to a specific group.

The way in which you import references will vary, depending on which database or e-journal you are using. To find detailed instructions on how to import references, please select the database that you are using. If the database you are using is not listed or you spot any errors, please contact us at endnoteweb at warwick dot ac dot uk and we will create or update the instructions as quickly as possible.

Not all databases and very few e-journals have their own filter to import references into EndNote Online. There are two generic filters to try – EndNote Import or RefMan RIS. If neither of these work, please contact us at endnoteweb at warwick dot ac dot uk.

Before you can use Cite While You Write (CWYW), you need to download and install the CWYW plug-in.

Login to your EndNote account and click on Download Installers. Choose the appropriate option and follow the installation instructions. This will install the EndNote Online toolbar in Word.

Yes, other word processing packages are not supported by Cite While You Write. However, it is still possible to format your bibliography using a different word processor. To do this:

1. Create your document as normal

3. Save your document as a Rich Text Format (.RTF) file
4. Login to EndNote Online and click the Format Tab and select Format Paper
5. Click on the Browse button and select the file you saved in step 3
6. Under Bibliographic Style, select the referencing style required (e.g. Harvard). Click the Format button. You will then be given the option to either view or save your formatted document

It is possible to create a select stand-alone bibliography using selected references from your EndNote Online account.

1. Make sure that all the references you want to format are in the same group
2. Click on the Format > Bibliography
3. From the References drop-down menu, select your Group
4. Under the Bibliographic Style drop-down menu, select the required format for your references (e.g. Harvard, Vancouver)
5. Under File Format, select RTF (Rich Text File)
6. Click on either the Save, Email or Print button, depending what you want to do with your list
