Hi Emily

it's been a while since i've used Endnote and I didn't use with HDAS but with ebsco databases, so Im sure other people will have more informative responses...

But I used to use the "cite while you write" plug in quite a lot. You can add it to your Word tool bar quite easily see: http://www.adeptscience.co.uk/kb/article/CC5E (or there'll be tutorials on youtube if you want to check how to do)

You can then easily import references from your endnote library of references into a word document using this cite while you write function and it appears as both a reference in text and at end of work as a formatted reference.

How it appeared would depend on what format you'd decided to use for your endnote reference library. So if you want to see the entire journal title, i'd pick a referencing format that allows this e.g. Harvard referencing rather than some of the medical referencing systems that use abbreviations for journal titles.

It wasn't perfect but proved quite handy...

Hope that helps

Afternoon all,

We produce several Current Awareness bulletins for staff and I'm currently trying to find a quick and easy way of formatting references so they can be cut and pasted and popped into Publisher. For example: I am putting together one on Intentional Rounding and have collected references from PubMed, CINAHL and Medline (accessed via HDAS).

We have access to EndNote and I have experimented with importing references in, but with little success. References imported from PubMed only have the abbreviated journal title in and ideally I'd like the full title, and references imported from HDAS seem to lack lots of fields, even though I saved them as an RIS file and used the RIS filter when importing into EndNote.

So, my questions to you on this sunny Friday afternoon are:

1. Am I going wrong somewhere with EndNote? Is there a way to make sure all the fields I need are imported properly regardless of where they are coming from?

2. How do you produce bibliographies to put into documents without spending hours cutting and pasting bits and bobs?

I'm happy to summarise and report back to the list if I get lots of responses.

Thanks in advance,

Emily
