Organizing Research & Citations

The Library also provides free access to EndNote, a research management tool designed to work seamlessly with the Web of Knowledge database. You may navigate back and forth between Web of Knowledge and EndNote while collecting your research. EndNote allows you to store your references and PDFs, find full text, and create APA formatted bibliographies.

To access EndNote, you must first enter the Web of Knowledge database. To access Web of Knowledge from the Library’s home page, hover over Research Resources and click A-Z Databases. 

Once on the Web of Knowledge homepage, click the EndNote tab in the upper right. You will need to set up an individual EndNote account the first time you use this database. Once you have clicked on the EndNote tab within Web of Knowledge, click Sign up as shown below.

For additional assistance with EndNote, view the Endnote FAQs in the box on this page and tutorial videos. Note that the Library does not provide support for EndNote beyond these resources.

Mendeley Cite is an add-in for Microsoft® Word that allows you to easily insert references from your Mendeley library into your Word document, change your citation style, and generate a bibliography - all without leaving your document.

You can use Mendeley Cite to:

• Search for references in your Mendeley library and insert them into the document you're working on.
• Select and insert individual or multiple references at once.
• Create a bibliography of all the references you've cited.
• Change to any of your preferred citation styles in just a few clicks.
• Cite without having Mendeley Reference Manager open or even installed - once you sign in to Mendeley Cite, your Mendeley library is downloaded from the cloud.
• Keep sight of your Word document at all times - Mendeley Cite opens as a separate panel in Word alongside your document window, not over it.
