Referencing guide at the University of Manchester: 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.

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.

Full instructions on installing the plug-in can be found HERE.

Capture reference tool

To automatically import references into your  EndNote library, you can use the Capture Reference button as well as EndNote Capture toolbars for Internet Explorer™ (Windows™ only) or Firefox™ (Windows or Macintosh™).

To install the Capture tool, just drag the Capture Reference button to your Bookmarks bar (also known as "Favorites Bar" or "Bookmarks Toolbar"). In some browsers, you may need to right-click and select "Add to Favorites" or "Bookmark This Link."
To use it, browse to a page you like and click the Capture Reference button in the Bookmarks bar. The Capture Reference window will open. Follow the instructions in the window.
