Citation Management

EndNote Basic Online

EndNote Basic Online is a simple citation manager that you use within your web browser.  Import a maximum of 50,000 references, and 2GB of attachments. If you like to keep your articles and citations together in one system, EndNote Basic Online will probably not be sufficient for your needs. Saving documents to a separate location is recommended for EndNote Basic Online users.
 

Installation 

EndNote Basic Online is available to anyone, free of charge. Sign-up through Memorial University, and you will be prompted to sign-in with your Memorial University credentials using your @mun.ca email address and you can save up to 50,000 citations in your online library and have access to dozens of citation styles. Direct citation export is available for small number of online databases. Sign up for a free account here: Memorial EndNote Basic Online.

Adding Citations to EndNote Basic Online

You can add citations from most databases directly into EndNote Basic Online. The steps will vary slightly for different databases, but in general:

  1. In the database, select the citations you wish to export.
  2. Look for an option to "Export" or "Direct Export to EndNote Basic" or "Direct Export to EndNote Web"
  3. From the list of export options, choose either EndNote or RIS format.
  4. Usually, this process will download a file (.ris) that you will save somewhere on your computer (usually in the Downloads folder or on your Desktop). In some cases, instead of saving the file, you will be prompted to select EndNote Basic directly.
