Cite While You Write
A feature of EndNote which allows you to quickly and easily insert
references from your EndNote library into your Word document.
Connection files
Files which allow you to connect to library catalogues or databases
from within your EndNote library, and search and retrieve citations
from them directly into your EndNote library.
.Data folder
The folder automatically created by EndNote to store any images
or documents you have inserted in your references. It is created
in the same folder as that in which your library is saved.
Default
A value, action or setting that a computer program will automatically
apply, unless the user intervenes to change it. E.g. in EndNote,
journal article is the default reference type for new references,
but this can be changed in the Preferences under EndNote’s
Edit menu
Direct export
A feature available in some databases whereby search results can
be automatically transferred to your EndNote library.
Field
Each reference is composed of fields - discrete pieces of information,
such as author, year, title, edition etc.
Field codes
When you insert references from your library into your document,
hidden field codes are inserted with them. These contain the information
necessary for EndNote to format your in-text citations and bibliography
in the selected output style.
Filter
See Import Filter
Import
The process whereby references from a database, saved in the form
of a text file, are transferred into an EndNote library using
an import filter.
Import filter
A file used during the import process to ensure that all the elements
of references saved in the form of a text file, are transferred
correctly into the corresponding fields in your EndNote library.
There are many different import filters available, each designed
to import references from a specific database (e.g. Medline),
and from a specific information provider (e.g. Ovid). It is essential
to choose the correct filter during the import process, e.g. the
University of Newcastle subscribes to the Medline database from
Ovid, therefore you would need to use the Medline (Ovid) import
filter to import the results of your Medline search into your
EndNote library the Medline (CSA) filter would not work.
Information provider
A service that provides access to one or more databases. Examples
of information providers include Ovid, ISI, CSA and Proquest.
Instant formatting
A default setting in EndNote which results in the instant formatting
of your in-text citations and creation of your bibliography as
you insert references from your EndNote library into your Word
document.
In-text citation
A brief citation in the body of the text of a paper, typically
in the form of a number, or the author name and year in brackets.
There is a full reference in the bibliography at the end of the
paper (or in the footnotes, depending on the type of reference
style being used) which corresponds to each of the in-text citations
in the body of the text.
Keyword
A descriptive term entered into the Keywords field of a reference.
Multiple keywords can be entered into the Keywords field.
Library
Library is the term used in EndNote to refer to your EndNote 'database'
of references.
Library window
The window that displays a list of all the references contained
in an EndNote library.
Output style
A file that determines the appearance of both the in-text citations
and the references in the bibliography of your document. There
is an Output Style for each of the commonly used reference styles
(e.g. APA 5th, Vancouver, MLA, Chicago) as well as many for specific
publications. Output styles can be modified to suit your own requirements.
Reference
See Citation
Reference type
The blank template you use to enter references into your EndNote
library. The default reference type in EndNote is for journal
articles, but there are many others available, including books,
edited books, and conference proceedings.
Reference window
The window that displays the details of an individual reference
Temporary citation
Also known as an unformatted citation. The place holder EndNote
uses in your Word document, which contains the information necessary
to find the corresponding reference in your EndNote library. It
looks something like this:
{Hadley, 1970 #12}
where Hadley = author; 1970 = year; and #12 = the EndNote record
number. You will only see these in your document if you have disabled
instant formatting. When instant formatting is disabled, the references
you insert into your document will appear as unformatted citations
in your text, and the bibliography at the end of your document
will not be updated automatically as you insert each new citation.
You simply need to click on the Format Bibliography icon from
the EndNote toolbar in Word, and choose your output style to format
your in-text citations and bibliography.
Term list
Term Lists are automatically created by EndNote for the author,
journal and keywords fields of your library. Each time you enter
a term into one of these fields, the term is automatically added
to the corresponding Term list.
