Mastering Endnote Referencing: A Guide for FAS Students and Faculty

As a student or faculty member at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS), you may have encountered issues with accessing resources, citing sources, and sharing your work with collaborators. In this article, we will explore how EndNote referencing can help streamline your research process.

One of the key features of EndNote is its ability to connect with Harvard's OpenURL system. This enables you to try to find access to an item via the university's system, making it easier to locate full-text articles and other resources. Additionally, EndNote's Find Full Text feature allows you to pull the full text (PDF) for a journal article into your EndNote library, saving you time and effort.

Another benefit of using EndNote is its registration feature. By registering, you can sync your EndNote library across different devices or share it with collaborators, making it easier to work on projects together. If you experience any issues while using EndNote, please report the issue to HUIT, as the FAS downloads page is maintained by this department.

FAS students, faculty, and staff can download EndNote free of charge from the FAS software downloads page. Alternatively, anyone can try EndNote without purchase through its 30-day trial period. This allows you to explore the program's features and capabilities before deciding whether to purchase it.

For those who do choose to purchase EndNote, there are over 1000 styles available, including APA, MLA, and others. By selecting the appropriate style, you can ensure that your citations and references are formatted correctly.

In addition to its referencing features, EndNote also offers an education discount for Harvard ID holders through HUIT's third-party web store managed by OntheHub network. This discount allows you to access the program at a lower cost than the standard price.

Finally, Cite This For Me is a free citation machine that can help you generate accurate citations in seconds. By using this tool, you can ensure that your references are properly formatted and save time on your research project.

In conclusion, EndNote referencing is an essential tool for FAS students and faculty, offering features such as OpenURL connectivity, Find Full Text functionality, registration options, and a wide range of citation styles. By mastering these features, you can streamline your research process, improve the accuracy of your citations, and enhance your overall academic experience.
