EndNote Web

What is EndNote Web?

• A web-based program that allows you to store, edit, and manage up to 10,000 citations.
• Citations from many databases may be imported into your online account from saved files of citations, directly from a limited number of databases, or manually.
• Works with Microsoft Word (requires free Cite While You Write plug-in) to allow you to automatically create in-text citations and bibliographies in a choice of over 1,300 publishing styles.
• Allows online sharing of EndNote Web folders of citations for collaborative projects.

How do I Use EndNote Web?

1. Sign up for a free account. If you don't already have an account in an ISI database (Web of Science, BIOSIS, etc.), go to myendnoteweb.com to sign up and use.
2. Open another window to go one of the databases, conduct your search, then select or mark desired results.
   PLEASE NOTE: EndNote Web Connection Files -- which contain information to connect to, search, and import references for databases -- is a protocol the UW Libraries does not support - except for the UW Libraries catalog.)
3. Save these results in a text file or export them directly. Settings to use are listed in the table below.

How do I Use Cite While You Write (CWYW)?

1. Open WORD to create your document and insert citations using Cite While You Write (CWYW) while having EndNote Web open.
2. Using EndNote Web CWYW, format WORD file in chosen style and save results before printing. NOTE: Use of EndNote Web CWYW requires a plug-in to be downloaded to your computer. For help with using EndNote Web to format documents, refer to the video tutorials in the Related Links section. If you are using a UW WORD Dissertation Template, we encourage you to use the desktop version of EndNote, saving your file often.
