Tips on transferring references into EndNote

The transfer of references from databases into EndNote is not an exact science. No matter which method is used, problems can and do occur. It is important to check the quality of your references at the point of transfer.
When references are transferred into your Library the Reference Window initally displays just the transferred references (your other references will be temporarily hidden). Select References > Show All References to view all the references in your Library.
Databases often use different keywords or subject headings to describe the same concept. Use EndNote's Term Lists to create ‘standardised’ keywords.
Add the name of the database, and the date searched, to your transferred references. This is very handy if you need to return to the database for any reason later on.
As your library grows it is important to check for duplicates.
You can attach full text documents and images to your Library.
