EndNote Web

Connect to my EndNote Web now

WPI Gordon Library provides access for WPI network users the ISI Web of Knowledge database. This includes access to Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports, and EndNote Web. Set up an ISI Web of Knowledge account to be able to access and personalize all WOK features or go directly to myendnoteweb.com to get started.

With EndNote Web you can keep track of the sources you are using for your research, including the ability to paste in sections of the text of the documents and your own notes about the sources. It interacts with Web of Science and you can maintain information about cited references in your personal EndNote Web database too.

A Few More Benefits of using EndNote Web:

• Allows users to share folders with colleagues who also have EndNote Web accounts
• Ties in with Web of Knowledge (dynamic updating of your cited references)
• Offers direct import of references from many databases

EndNoteWeb - Get Set Up

1. Connect to myendnoteweb.com
2. Create a new account in order to begin to to collect and organize your references.
3. For your personal computer(s) download EndNote Web installers.

EndNote Web will create not only your reference list, but your in-text citations too. The downloaded installer once run, will not only add an EndNote Web file menu within MS Word but also adds connection options for direct import of references from various web sites and research databases.

EndNote Web Questions & Answers

What's the difference between EndNote and EndNote Web?

EndNote Web is a bit different from the client software, Endnote 10x, which some faculty and graduate students use at WPI. The Gordon Library subscribes only to EndNote Web, which is a web-based citation management tool. ENW it does interact with EndNote however. ENW is a great option for serious researchers who wish to share parts of their personal EndNote libraries with others. The EndNote Support web site offers updates for Windows and Mac EndNote users that may be needed in order to get EN to interact with the ENW version.

When using APA 6th edition, how can I get EndNote Web to properly format a reference to a report from a nongovernmental organization?

See Notes about APA 6th and EndNote Web from Thomson for details.

The author is a government agency, how can I get it to format correctly in my bibliography?

For corporate or government authors, add a comma after the name so they will not be manipulated like personal authors. For example, in the author field:
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education,

For corporate authors that have a comma within then insert two commas to maintain both a comma and the corporate name in proper order with the suffix, for instance:
University of California,, Berkeley
