Referencing guide at the University of Manchester: EndNote online

Issue accessing University of Manchester custom styles

EndNote Online: I can no longer see University of Manchester custom styles.

If you can no longer see Harvard Manchester, MHRA (Footnote) Manchester or other specific University of Manchester styles with EndNote Online it maybe because your Subscription has lapsed.

To check your subscription login to EndNote Online and select 'Options > 'Subscription'

If you have authenticated your account with a previous university and want to transfer it to the University of Manchester then you will need to contact Endnote Support directly.

What is EndNote online?

The University's EndNote site license also includes access to EndNote online. It has less functionality than the desktop product, but it's free and web-based, so you can access your records from anywhere with an internet connection.

It is available to all University of Manchester students, faculty and staff and is accessible wherever there is Internet access.

  • EndNote online can be used to store and organise your references.
  • EndNote online holds a maximum of 50,000 records, but records can easily be transferred between your EndNote library on a PC/laptop and EndNote online.
  • Undergraduates will find it easy to get started with EndNote online, and a reference list for an essay or project can be generated with minimal training.

Plug-ins for EndNote online - Windows

Cite While you Write

In order to use the Cite While you Write function of EndNote online to insert citations and create a bibliography in Word you will need to install the Cite While you Write Plug-in. (If you are using a University pc cluster the plug-in is already installed)

The plug-in allows you to find and place citations from EndNote online directly into your word document eg. dissertation, coursework, project proposal.
