Yesterday we set up an EndNote Online account and entered a reference manually.  Today we are going the have a go at importing references.

You can import references from iFind and most academic databases including Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect.

We are going to find some journal articles in iFind and import the reference information into EndNote.

  • Go to iFind and select the ‘Articles & more’ search option.

  • Search for a topic of your choice.
  • Chose an article that you would like to save in EndNote.
  • Click on the three dots to the right of the article information to see more actions.

  • Select EndNote

EndNote Online will open in a new window. You will need to log in. You should see a confirmation that one reference has been imported from Primo (Primo is the system that runs iFind).

If you need help importing references from other sources there is advice on the EndNote library guide.

Tomorrow we will learn how to organise and share the references that you have saved in EndNote.
