How to get EndNote
To use EndNote on the UMCG network or on the Microsoft Surface ("NextGen" laptop) please contact the Medical Library at refman@umcg.nl
Important:
On the UMCG-network (either an UMCG-computer or toegang.umcg.nl) you need to start the "EndNote for Word" shortcut to work with a version of Word with EndNote added. This is because of a new way the IT-department wants to make Word plug-ins available. You can find "EndNote for Word" in the start menu. Note: on the UMCG laptop you can use the normal shortcut for Word.
It is highly recommended to enable the EndNote synchronization. Do this via "Sync configuration" in the menu on the left in EndNote. All your references, PDFs and groups will then be synchronized online and you will always be able to get them back if something happens to your library.
All University desktop computers should already have EndNote installed.
Go to the Windows Start button and choose: All programs > Library Services > EndNote
Warning
Important to note is that EndNote and Mendeley give errors when used together in Word. When you want to use EndNote: In Word go to File > Options > Add-Ins > Manage Templates > uncheck the Mendeley box.
To use EndNote on the Microsoft Surface ("NextGen laptop") you have to contact the Medical Library at refman@umcg.nl.
Since november 2023: EndNote is now locally installed on your laptop (if you have rights for EndNote via the CMB). You don't have to use toegang.umcg.nl anymore. Also on the laptop it is no longer needed to use "EndNote for Word". You can just open the EndNote application and the normal Word shortcut.
The Medical Library can send EndNote to UMCG-employees for usage at home. If you want to use EndNote at home, contact the library at refman@umcg.nl and let us know if you use a Windows or Apple computer.
If you have a university P-number or if you are a student you can use the university's download portal at: https://rug.nl/iris Here you can log in with your P- or S-number and then search for EndNote.
Warning
Important to note is that EndNote and Mendeley give errors when used together in Word. When you want to use EndNote you have to uninstall the Mendeley word-plugin, otherwise you will not be able to add references using EndNote in Word.
EndNote for iPad is available as an app.
EndNote is not supported as an app for Android. To work with EndNote on an android device you should use Endnote web.
EndNote available for UMCG
EndNote is the leading reference management software and is available on the UMCG-network.
With EndNote you can:
- import references from databases such as PubMed or Web of Science
- store, organize and edit your references
- Cite while you write in Word and thus using references in a correct way in your manuscript
- Choosing the right citation style in Word, such as Vancouver, and journal-specific formats
- Share your references with others
EndNote (the desktop application) can hold an unlimited number of references. We recommend using the desktop application if you are heavily engaged in research.
The current version of EndNote in use at the UMCG and RUG is 21.
