- EndNote Pt 5: Importing references from the PubMed via Endnote
This is an alternative method of importing single (or a small number of) articles into EndNote. It is useful when you want can't be bothered entering all the details of an article that you already have. It is still subject to the flaws of google as described in Part 2, but at least you'll have the opportunity to see and correct these before any changes take place.
Start by going to Endnote, right click on your library and go New Reference.
Copy the title into the title box. To further narrow results, you could put in the Author or other details. Now close the reference (saving it).
Reopen the reference and click on the page with the circular arrow / reference update button. WAIT! This can take a while. Hopefully it will search for an update and find the reference.
If it finds the reference update all fields, and rejoice, if not then try adding an author into the reference and see if it finds it then. Be sure to hit Save Updates.
Ain't that magic!
