Students can purchase EndNote 21 at a discount from EndNote.com or from OntheHub.com

Staff can purchase from the “my.jh.edu” portal by selecting the “Technology" section, then selecting the “my Software" catalog.  Note that both the student version and the full version are the same.

There are two situations that can happen where your EndNote citations don't format the way you would expect.

Show Field Codes

The first is if you try to insert a citation and you see something like this:

This is an issue with a Microsoft Word setting for "Show field codes instead of their values".

To fix this, go to your EndNote 21 toolbar in Microsoft Word. Under "Tools", select "Preferences", and check the box next to "Turn off Word's 'Show field codes instead of their values' option when opening or updating documents that include citations".

Instant Formatting is Off

You might also see what looks almost like an in-text citation but isn't formatting correctly. If you see something that looks like this:

{Abu, 2020 #1191}

You have EndNote's Instant Formatting turned off.

To fix this, go to your EndNote 21 toolbar in Microsoft Word. Under "Bibliography", click on "Instant Formatting is Off". Select "Turn Instant Formatting On". This should automatically format your citations correctly.

EndNote Web

EndNote 21 introduced a new and improved version of EndNote Web which is available exclusively for EndNote 21 users. This new version of EndNote web has an interface that is more similar to what you use in the desktop version of EndNote. This is notable for being able to more effectively use Group Sets to organize your Groups of shared references.

Remember to sync your EndNote desktop library containing your shared groups within EndNote 21. If you haven't done this at least once, you'll only be able to use the previous version of EndNote Online.

Here's the link to the new version of EndNote Web: https://web.endnote.com

 

Cite While You Write for Word Online

If you have EndNote 21 and an account with the new version of EndNote Web, you can use Cite While You Write within Word Online.

You'll need to add the EndNote 21 Cite While You Write add-in to your Word Online and login with your EndNote Web account info. See this link for more information about setting this up: https://support.clarivate.com/Endnote/s/article/EndNote-Word-Online-CWYW?language=en_US

 

Cite While You Write for Google Docs

If you have EndNote 21 and an account with the new version of EndNote Web, you can use Cite While You Write within Google Docs.

You'll need to add the EndNote 21 Cite While You Write add-in to your Google Docs and login with your EndNote Web account info. See this link for more information about setting this up: https://support.clarivate.com/Endnote/s/article/Google-Docs-CWYW?language=en_US

EndNote Online Classic (Free)

EndNote and EndNote Online

EndNote is a reference management solution with both a desktop and online component. When used on the desktop, it may be called “EndNote desktop” or “EndNote on the desktop.” When used online, it may be called “EndNote online.” EndNote X8 & X9 users can synchronize all the references in one desktop library to their online library, and share the entire library with other EndNote X8 or X9 users. Their online library can contain an unlimited number of references and unlimited attachments.

EndNote Basic

EndNote basic is a more limited reference management solution that is only available online. EndNote basic users can create an online library with a maximum of 50,000 references and up to 2GB of attachments.

There are two versions of EndNote basic.

  • The free version of EndNote basic has 21 styles and a limited number of filters and connection files. This version is available to anybody, with no other purchase required.
  • The version of EndNote basic available as part of the Web of Science has thousands of styles and hundreds of filters and connection files. This version is accessible by those whose institution has a subscription to the Web of Science.

For more information, see the EndNote Online Guide from Clarivate.
