EndNote

EndNote online is a Web-based citation management tool. An EndNote account allows you to:

  • collect and store references saved from database searches
  • upload and attach PDF documents to references 
  • insert references into Microsoft Word documents using the Cite-While-You-Write plug-in

  • share references with other EndNote online users

Creating an EndNote online account

  1. Log onto Web of Science
  2. Select the "EndNote" link on the upper toolbar

  3. Select "Register" in the login window

Once you have created an EndNote online account via Web of Science, you can access your account directly at: https://www.myendnoteweb.com/EndNoteWeb.html

To use the Cite While You Write plugin with Word, you'll need to install an additional plugin.  Look for the "Downloads" link on your EndNote menu & select your operating system to download the CWYW plugin.

Endnote accounts created through Web of Science have additional features beyond the free Endnote Basic version.  If you leave Harrisburg University, your Endnote Online account will remain available, but will convert to the Basic version.
