How To: Importing references from RefWorks

2009-12-08T15:37:00.000+02:00

Do you have a colleague who uses RefWorks or have you used RefWorks yourself and are you wondering how to get your references from RefWorks into EndNote? You're not the only one, many people are having trouble importing references saved from RefWorks. One of the frequently asked questions at EndNote is: "How can I import references from RefWorks into EndNote". The answer to this question lies in using the right export format and import filters. Now let's see how we get started with import these references.

Step 1: Take the right export format in RefWorks.

1.1 In RefWorks, go to the References menu and select export.

1.2 Pick the references you want to export. Verify that the Bibliographic Software button is selected. If it's selected, click on the Export to Text File button.

1.3 See the confirmation that your selected references have been exported.

1.4 Now a new window in your webbrowser wil open that will show your references in a structured format. In case the references don't show right away, click the "Download it" link.

1.5 The last step is to save the references as a text file to a location on your desktop. To do this select "Save As" from the File Menu. Make sure that your remember where you saved it, because you need to look up this location for importing into EndNote.

1.6 Now we can go to EndNote to import the file that we just saved from RefWorks.

2. Choose the right import filter in EndNote.

2.1 Open EndNote, and open an existing library or create a new library.

2.2 From the File menu in EndNote, choose Import.

2.3 From the pop-up window click the "Choose File" button and locate the file we saved from RefWorks.

2.4 From the "Import Option" list, select the import option "Reference Manager (RIS)". You don't need to adjust the settings for Duplicates or Text Translation unless your Operating System is using a language setting other than English.

2.5 When you're done, click the "Import" button. EndNote now presents the imported references in your library window. You can view all references in a library by clicking "All References" on the left side of the screen.

Now you know how to easily import references into EndNote that were saved from RefWorks. This gives you the possibility to collaborate with your colleagues even if they don't use the same Referencing Software.

EndNote for Windows: Word Processor Compatibility

2009-11-11T14:57:00.000+02:00

A little bit of information on the Windows word processors that EndNote is compatible with.

Word Processor Compatibility:

As of June 2009, EndNote for Windows is compatible with:

- Microsoft Office Word 2003 or 2007 for Windows

- Open Document Format (ODT) documents created with OpenOffice.org Writer

- RTF files created with most word processors, including:

Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, OpenOffice.org Writer,

StarOffice, and WordPad

Microsoft Word:

EndNote installs Cite While You Write commands in Microsoft

Word. Word 2003 displays an EndNote submenu of commands

on Word’s Tools menu. Word 2007 displays Cite While You Write

commands on an EndNote tab. Cite While You Write allows

EndNote to format citations and create a bibliography for the

document that is open in Word. You can format, unformat, and

reformat a document—without exiting your word processor.

In order for Cite While You Write to install properly, Microsoft

Word 2003 or 2007 must be correctly installed on your computer

prior to installing EndNote. However, make sure that the Word

application is closed before attempting to install Cite While You

Write.

If a supported version of Microsoft Word is installed on your

computer, the appropriate Cite While You Write files are

installed automatically for the current user when you run the

EndNote installation. This feature can be used with a shared

copy of Word or on a network.

OpenOffice.org Writer:

EndNote installs Cite While You Write commands in the

OpenOffice.org version 3 Writer. CWYW commands appear on

an EndNote menu. Cite While You Write allows EndNote to

format citations and create a bibliography for the document that

is open in OpenOffice.org Writer. You can format, unformat, and

reformat a document—without exiting your word processor.

In order for Cite While You Write to install properly, the

OpenOffice.org 3.x suite must be correctly installed on your

computer prior to installing EndNote.

You must close all OpenOffice.org applications before installing

Cite While You Write, including the OpenOffice.org

Quickstarter.

RTF and ODT Documents:

For word processors other than Word 2003, Word 2007, or

OpenOffice.org 3.x, first write your paper and insert in-text

citations. If the file format is anything other than an

OpenOffice.org ODT document, save as an RTF file. Then, use

EndNote’s Format Paper feature to format the citations and

bibliography from your ODT or RTF file.

Special EndNote tips & tricks!

2009-11-11T09:15:00.000+02:00

Here are a couple of really good tips, tricks and workarounds from LibraryFit. These will come in handy when working with EndNote and provide solutions for problems you may encounter along the way.

Direct export using the Macintosh

This will work with Firefox as the browser, but not with Safari. Firefox will give you the option to open the file, and will ask which program you wish to use. Select EndNote as the program.

Word processor compatibility

In response to user demand, backwards compatibility has been improved, and EndNote X3 is compatible with Word 2000 and Open Office.

Direct export from Google Scholar

This will work better if you go into the Scholar Preferences, go to the Bibliography Manager settings, and select RefMan instead of EndNote. When you do your search, you will now see links "Import into RefMan". Click on these links and the references will import directly to EndNote.

Find Full Text

If you are not working in the biomedical area, find full text will work more quickly in EndNote X3 if you go to the Preferences>Find Full Text, and uncheck the "Pubmed Link Out" option. Certain databases have licensing agreements which prohibit use of the find full text feature. These include Ebsco, JSTOR, Swets.

EndNote Web

Version 2.8 is in beta and should be released soon. The ability to insert references into a Word document from a folder which another user has shared with you should be available next year [but they have been saying this for a while!] This problem with shared folders is significant for students who want to use EndNote for group projects. It is suggested as a workaround that one of the students should get a new email account (from Gmail, Yahoo, or wherever) and then set up a new EndNote Web account. The username and password can then be given to all the group.

Locating a Corrupt Citation in a Word Document

The normal procedure when dealing with possible corruption is to unformat the citations. A corrupt citation will not unformat. But how do you pick up an unformatted citation in a lengthy document? Go to the Word preferences for "Field shading." Change the setting from "When selected" to "Always." Now you can scan through the document and look for greyed areas of text. This way you can more easily pick up the corrupt citations which failed to unformat.

Dealing with a Corrupt Word Document

If the user is able to open a new Word document and insert EndNote citations correctly, then the corruption is probably limited to the document that they are working on. Click on the "backwards P" symbol on the Word toolbar to display all the hidden formatting symbols. Copy the document, except for the final paragraph symbol (the "backwards P" again). Paste it into a new document. Can you now insert citations correctly? In corrupt documents, the corruption is often contained in that final paragraph symbol. If the document is divided by section breaks, there can also be corruption in a particular section. The same procedure applies: copy the document section by section, omitting the final paragraph mark in each section.

Word’s Normal Template is Corrupt

If the user opens a new Word document, but is unable to insert EndNote citations correctly, then the default Word template (the "normal" template) may be corrupt. To fix this, first close Word. Go to Windows Explorer and make sure that you have set the Folder Options so that you can view hidden files and folders. Then locate the normal template (in the MicrosoftTemplates folder under the Application Data). It will be called "normal.dot" or "normal.dotm". Remove this file from that folder and save it somewhere else. It contains all the preferences for Word, so don’t delete it at this point: just move it elsewhere. Also, look for any temporary files in that folder with names beginning ~$. Delete these. Now restart Word. Word will recreate the normal template (without any of the preferences). Does this fix the EndNote problem? If not, you should close Word, go back to the templates folder, delete the new normal template and retrieve the old normal template. This will restore your Word preferences. Of course, it won’t fix the EndNote problem.

Doing a Clean Reinstall of EndNote

Uninstalling EndNote from Control Panel will not remove all EndNote files from your computer. Sometimes you need to delete all the files, especially if you want to delete the preferences.

EndNote files may still be present in these locations:

* an EndNote folder in the Documents area
* an EndNote folder in your Application Data
* in the Program Files/Common Files/ResearchSoft folder
* in the Program Files/Common Files/Thomson ResearchSoft folder
* in the Program Files/EndNote… folder

You also have to run regedit to open the Registry Editor and delete the EndNote folder under: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareISI ResearchSoft

Now restart Windows.
Then reinstall EndNote.

Getting EndNote files from the new PubMed!

2009-11-10T09:29:00.000+02:00

Those of you that use PubMed in connection with EndNote may have noticed that the PubMed website has changed a little bit recently. To make sure that you are still comfortable with using EndNote and PubMed, I'll give you step by step instructions on how to get the references from PubMed into your EndNote library:

1. Start by going to the PubMed website, http://www.pubmed.gov/
2. Perform your search for references (either normal or advanced search)

3. Now select the references that you would like to import into EndNote by clicking the check boxes.

4. Click the "Send to:" link at the top right corner of the window.

5. From the "Send to" menu, choose file.

6. From the drop-down list 'Format' choose the option "Medline".

7. Click "Create File" and save the file to a location of your choosing.

(you may have to turn off your browsers 'pop-up blocking' to see the save file message)

You have now exported a file from the PubMed database to a location on your computer. Now to correctly import this file into EndNote, take the following steps:

8. Open the EndNote program.

9. Go to the File menu and choose Import.

10. Click Choose File... to find the pubmed_results.txt file on your computer.

11. From the Import Option list choose PubMed (NLM). If you do not see PubMed in the list, choose Other Filters and browse to PubMed (NLM).

12. Click import to import the reference(s) into your EndNote library.

Now you can continue your research in the way you were used to, by getting references from PubMed into EndNote. You can of course still connect to the PubMed database and search for references from within EndNote and EndNote Web. That process has not changed and it is still a quick and easy way of getting references into your EndNote library.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or leave a message on this Blog!

EndNote with Snow Leopard 10.6 Compatibility coming up!

2009-11-04T10:00:00.000+02:00

The makers of EndNote are also working to make EndNote compatible with the latest versions of Macintosh Operating Systems. Here's the full story:

With the release of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, we are currently working on completing testing with the final version of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

We will continue to update this page with any issues found. Note that all Leopard compatibility notes (below) also apply to 10.6.

Word 2008 and Printing

We have identified an issue where printing from Word 2008 and then quitting word with the EndNote tools loaded causes Word to crash. As the crash happens as Word is closing after all data has been saved, we do not anticipate any data loss due to this issue.

To avoid this crash, you can do the following after printing before quitting Word:

Go to the "Tools" menu, choose "Templates and Add-ins..."
Uncheck "EndNote CWYW Commands.dot" and "EndNote CWYW Word 2008.bundle."
Quit Word. When you restart, the EndNote tools should load again.

Pages, multi-byte, and Snow Leopard issue:
Apple has released an upgrade to Pages '09, included in the iWork 9.0.3 update that addresses compatibility issues users of 10.6 and EndNote and Pages had experienced.

From the 9.0.3 release notes:

"Fixes an issue with saving documents with EndNote citations containing multi-byte characters when using Mac OS 10.6"

Note: This fix may not correct all documents affected by this issue using Pages prior to the patch. You may need to restore from a backup copy of those documents if that is the case.

This update should be installed from the Apple menu, Software Updates before working with EndNote, Pages and 10.6. It is also available here.

Leopard 10.5 Compatibility News

EndNote X2 and later

EndNote working on Windows 7 Compatibility!

2009-11-04T09:00:00.000+02:00

The makers of EndNote are currently working on making EndNote X3 compatible for Microsofts latest Operating System, Windows 7. Here's what they say about it:

Windows 7 notes for all versions of EndNote:
With the release of Windows 7, we are currently working on completing testing with the final version of Windows 7. During informal testing with earlier builds of Windows 7, no major compatibility issues beyond the currently known Vista issues were found.

We will continue to give updates on this page as testing progresses.

Note that any instructions or tutorial steps for EndNote referencing Vista can be used with Windows 7.

Microsoft Windows Vista Compatibility

General Vista notes for all versions of EndNote:
In Vista with default user settings with EndNote versions prior to X2, you can not change files in the default Styles, Connections, and Filters folders. Click here for steps to resolve this problem.

Standard user settings in Vista do not make it possible to make any changes within the Program Files folders of your computer. EndNote libraries saved within the Program Files/EndNote folder will be saved in a hidden location on your computer. We recommend saving all libraries in your Documents folder.

EndNote for Palm is not compatible with Palm desktop 6.2, which is the version most Palm devices use with Vista.

EndNote X1 and later

EndNote X1 and later are compatible with Windows Vista.

EndNote X and earlier versions

Based on our tests with EndNote versions 8.0.2, 9.0.1, and X.0.2, we have identified the following compatibility issues between EndNote and Microsoft Windows Vista. It is possible to install and run these versions of EndNote without Vista-specific compatibility issues with the exceptions listed below. EndNote versions prior to 8.0.2 have not been tested for compatibility as these older versions are no longer supported. Earlier EndNote versions may be upgraded for continued compatibility.

If you encounter a technical problem and you are running Windows Vista, please report it to technical support. We will do our best to resolve the issue or find an acceptable workaround. We will post information about any known Vista compatibility issues here.

Known Windows Vista Compatibility Issues

1. The location of the Word Startup folder is different on a Vista PC than previous versions of Windows, so the Cite While You Write (CWYW) tools may need to be manually installed. Click here for instructions.

2. On a Vista PC, in Word, if you click on the EndNote X CWYW Preferences button in the EndNote X toolbar, a "The parameter is incorrect" error appears, making it impossible to change CWYW Preferences.

Please note that this error is expected only for the CWYW Preferences button. If you get this error with the other CWYW commands, first try using the tools in a blank, new document. If you have the same error, follow this FAQ to delete your EndNote preferences, which should resolve the problem. If the problem is specific to one or more documents, please follow this FAQ to clean up the field codes in your problematic documents.

3. Direct Export will not work if you choose to send the records to a currently opened library. The exception to this is that if you had opened a given library by using Direct Export and selecting that library, you can continue to send references to that library with subsequent Direct Exports in the current library session.

4. After installing EndNote, be sure to reboot your computer to avoid errors when running EndNote for the first time.

5. Be sure to update to the latest patch available for your version of EndNote, which can be found here.

EndNote is also being optimized for the latest Macintosh Operating System, read more about Optimizing EndNote for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
