Adding citations from the online search results directly into Word no longer seems to be supported in Endnote 20 compared to previous versions. This adds several extra steps and is quite frustrating. Or is there some way to add a citation into Word without having to go switch to a library after searching online?
PERFECT introduction to an AMAZING piece of software. Why did my friend (who just finished her Doctorate in English Literature) have to tell me about this. Why isn't it orientation day 101 with the University? Are they intentionally trying to make things hard, or intentionally trying to make you do as much work as possible? (Perhaps so we understand it from the ground-up before we "get lazy" and use tools like this?!?!?!?!) Love it, and this intro video was GREAT.
Hi, Elham: You can edit any output style by opening the style file from your EndNote Style Manager window (Tools>Output Styles>Open Style Manager...). The process for making specific changes would depend on what you're looking to modify. I'd recommend opening a ticket with the EndNote Product Support team for additional assistance applying output style edits: www.endnote.com/support
Hello, Koya: Thanks for your comment - the Insert Citation interface is only available from within Microsoft Word. From EndNote, you can highlight one or more references from your library, then press Alt + 2 on your keyboard to trigger an alternate command called Insert Selected Citation(s). Please let us know if this information is helpful.
Hi, for some reason, when I click on insert citation, it reads out as "Class not registered" I have an account on Endnote and have been able to add references in the browser. But when I try to add that citation on Word, it comes up with that error. What do I do?
Hi, Kaitlyn - we're sorry to hear about your trouble with Cite While You Write. This particular error message is most likely related to your Windows Registry. The steps in the following knowledge article may help resolve the problem: support.clarivate.com/Endnote/s/article/EndNote-Invalid-Class-String-message-appears-while-working-in-Word?language=en_US However, if this doesn't resolve the issue, or you'd prefer to walk through the knowledge article instructions with a Product Support representative, please open a support ticket: www.endnote.com/support
Excellent video. However when I try to upload files from a connection that is not installed, I get an error message that is almost impossible to break out of, which happened when I was following your tutorial. Hitting the yes button does not give you time to kill the search before the message appears again, freezing the screen. The red button did not work to kill the error message. Any suggestions?
Hello, Jim: thanks very much for taking the time to share your kind feedback. We're sorry about the connection file error you're encountering. We suggest ensuring your EndNote 20 installation is fully updated to ensure this issue isn't something resolved in an update patch. Please open a ticket with EndNote Product Support for further investigation if updating doesn't help or you're already fully up-to-date: www.endnote.com/support
It is most unfortunate that the PDF preview functionality was removed from EN20. EN20 now requires users to launch an external PDF viewer each time. Why?! Up to X9, this was an available feature. Compared to X9, EN20 also wastes a lot of screen real estate. Everyone who upgraded to EN20 and spoke out on EndNote's public forums was disappointed with EN20.
Hi, Umber; thanks very much for your post - Clarivate reintroduced the PDF preview screen as part of the Reference panel on the library window in the EndNote 20.1 update. We hope this information is helpful, but please feel free to get in touch with EndNote Product Support for additional assistance: www.endnote.com/support
Is it possible to insert citation numbers in text (like [1] and [3-6] style) and add the names of the articles at the reference list? Or course with automatic maitenane the numeration and sequence when addind new references.
Hello, Денис Калугин; thanks very much for your question. Yes, you can configure any EndNote output style to create full-sized numbered in-text citations surrounded by brackets. By default, the "J Amer Med Info Assoc" output style in EndNote will format in this manner. Please feel free to open a support ticket for further assistance: www.endnote.com/support
I find it very helpful to store my EN library on the cloud as I can access it on my different computers but as mentioned in the video it has a high risk of library corruption. How do they corrupt? Please educate us, I am clueless.
Hello, Himanshu: Thanks very much for the question. Your EndNote library consists of multiple database files. The EndNote application writes to these files in an order that usually conflicts with how a sync service synchronizes its folders, leading to EndNote library corruption. So long as you're aware of the risk and backing up your EndNote library frequently, it's your choice if you'd like to store a library you're actively developing within a third-party sync service. It is safe to save backup copies of your EndNote libraries inside local sync folders. EndNote 20 includes a built-in solution called Sync, which coordinates the contents of a particular EndNote library between multiple computers via EndNote online. If you choose to rely on EndNote Sync, you will want to seriously consider saving your designated EndNote Sync library inside an unsynced local folder. Avoiding this type of folder for EndNote libraries you're actively syncing with EndNote online helps to avert potential sync issues and an increased risk of encountering library corruption. We hope this advice is helpful, but please feel free to open a ticket with EndNote Product Support for further assistance: www.endnote.com/support
not working as described. Not intuitive. quite annoying not being able to work on my thesis but to find out why the program does not do what it should.
Hi, Nancy: Thanks for your comment - good catch! Modifying a term list would take us beyond the intended length of this quick overview video, but you can watch a walkthrough of importing a pre-defined journals term list here: share.vidyard.com/watch/dPNc2Qj9VxaFjpuMX8rbi7?
Dear Sir, recently I updated my X9.3 endnote to 20 but I found that my current library is converted into 20. however, I could not find my previously created group and sub-group in the converted new one. How can I recover my group and sub-group in converted endnote 20?
Hello, Md. AR Rahman: thanks very much for your question - we're sorry to hear about the trouble with your EndNote library. Please open a ticket with the EndNote Product Support team for further troubleshooting assistance- www.endnote.com/support
how to fix error the page you are viewing is not a valid endnote web registration page?????? my library didnt show the reference list when im going to citate in microsft word. anyone can help me??
Why is the "Insert Citation" button from the EndNote itself is removed from the app? It was very convenient to directly use it from the app itself without having to go back again on Word afger selecting the references! or am I missing something?
Hello, Rojesh - thanks very much for your question. Please ensure you've installed the free EndNote 20.1 update, as this patch reintroduces an Insert Selected Citation(s) shortcut on the EndNote 20 library window. There's also a menu item on the Tools menu and a keyboard shortcut to trigger this Cite While You Write command from EndNote 20.
Hello, thanks very much for your question. You can click File > New within EndNote 20 to create a new library for your references or select File > Open Library... to access an EndNote library you've already created. If you'd like to try out the sample library included with the default EndNote installation, you'll find this compressed library file within the following location on your Windows computer: C:\Users\Public\Documents\EndNote\Examples Would you please let us know if this advice is helpful?
Hello, random_lulu: thanks very much for your question. Apple developed an EndNote plug-in for Pages to cite and format in-text citations and an accompanying bibliography. You can review a recent webinar recording focusing on this topic: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iSP8J_kM0x4.html The EndNote add-in for Pages is not very similar to the Cite While You Write tools in Word but will help you achieve a similar end-goal. All formatting should remain intact after final submission. Still, the EndNote links will become damaged if you convert the Pages file format to a different extension like .docx for Microsoft Word. Please open a ticket with the EndNote Product Support team for additional assistance: www.endnote.com/support
Hello, Bill: thanks for your comment and apologies for the trouble inserting a footnote reference. Be sure to create your footnote first using Microsoft Word to do so. Typically, you'll find the Insert Footnote command on Word's References tab. After inserting a footnote, make sure your cursor is flashing within the document window's footnote area, and then use EndNote to add your formatted footnote reference. If you'd like to highlight an entry within your library to add to your Word document, after selecting the reference, click Tools > Cite While You Write [CWYW] > Insert Selected Citation(s). Alternately, press Alt + 2 to trigger the Insert Selected Citation(s) command without selecting a drop-down menu. Make sure you're formatting your Microsoft Word document with the Chicago 16th Footnote or Chicago 17th Footnote output style. Please let us know if this advice is helpful.
After updating, it showed "Cannot edit range" and when I insert a citation, my citation becomes {Pool, 2012 #36} which is not the style I wanted. I am very disappointed.
Hello, Vilayphone sourideth: thanks for your comment - we're sorry to hear about your Cite While You Write issue. Do you happen to have the Mendeley add-in loading in Microsoft Word? If so, this third-party Word add-in is known to conflict with the Cite While You Write tools and cause the mentioned error to appear. The following knowledge article explains the situation and solution in more detail: support.clarivate.com/Endnote/s/article/EndNote-Cannot-Edit-Range?language=en_US Please feel free to open a ticket with EndNote Product Support for additional assistance: www.endnote.com/support
Hello, Asamani: thanks very much for your comment, and sorry to hear about your formatting issue. You're describing the appearance of a temporary citation, which acts as a placeholder until EndNote creates the appropriately formatted in-text citation. The appearance of temporary citations indicates your Instant Formatting setting is off in this particular Word document. Please visit the EndNote knowledge base to review a related article walking you through re-enabling Instant Formatting: support.clarivate.com/Endnote/s/article/ka14N000000Mtu3QAC?language=en_US Please feel free to reach out to EndNote Product Support for additional assistance: endnote.com/support
Hi, Alexandre: thanks for your question - the plug-in is another Clarivate solution called EndNote Click, formerly known as Kopernio: click.endnote.com
Hello, Sarimah: thanks very much for your question - you'd need to add your references to an EndNote library and then reinsert your in-text citations using the EndNote add-in for Microsoft Word. You'll save more time starting a project with EndNote, but you will still experience benefits if you're looking to apply various formatting styles to your completed research project.
Clarivate's downloadable EndNote installers are available in the following knowledge article: support.clarivate.com/Endnote/s/article/EndNote-Installer-download?language=en_US You can trial the software for 30 days or purchase a license to activate the unlocked application. Alternately, you can check with your employer or school to see if they provide you with free access to EndNote 20 via a site license.

Hello, Maram: thanks for your comment - we're sorry to hear about your download issue. Please open a ticket with EndNote Product Support for further assistance: www.endnote.com/support
Hello, Josmar: you can double-click any reference shown on your EndNote library's reference list panel to redisplay the tabs panel on the right of the window. Please open a ticket with the EndNote Product Support team if problems persist: www.endnote.com/support
Hello, Amrit: thanks very much for your comment, and sorry to hear about your article downloading trouble. You can always manually attach PDF articles you download from the web. Still, several automated options are available for capturing full-text articles associated with references stored within your EndNote library. One of the more straightforward solutions is called Find Full Text. To use this feature, highlight one or more references (up to 250 at once) in your library and click "References > Find Full Text > Find Full Text." By default, the Find Full-Text search in EndNote will locate open-access publications. Still, you may be able to include additional providers via organizational affiliation by adding an OpenURL server address to the Find Full Text tab of the EndNote 20 Preferences window. Alternatively, an optional browser extension called EndNote Click may be of interest to you: click.endnote.com/ The EndNote Click browser extension is compatible with over 20,000 scholarly sites, and the tool will help you export both reference metadata to add to your EndNote library along with the associated PDF article at the same time. A recent webinar recording of an EndNote Click-specific session should help provide a complete overview of this browser extension: share.vidyard.com/watch/mLNnaiEvD8zLwZu2xyidPw Please feel free to open a ticket with EndNote Product Support for additional assistance: www.endnote.com/support
Total crap. The X20 version has so many bugs and bad solutions for the user. Nothing has changed in 20.5 and there is no information about X21. A large number of users have gone back to the X9 version because the X20 has a very poor solution.
