HW Training Materials

For an overview of EndNote see:

In order to use EndNote for citing and referencing you should:

  1. Install EndDnote onto your personal device
  2. Create one EndNote Library *
  3. Download the Harvard HWU Cite Them Right style (if applicable)
  4. Add records into your Library (import/export/type in)
    • this could include bibliographic details (e.g. author, title, year etc.), full-text PDFs and other documents
  5. Use the EndNote Toolbar in Word to insert in-text citations and automatically create and format your Reference List according to your selected style (Cite While Your Write)

You can also use EndNote to help manage your references, including:

  • Organising references into folders, sharing reference lists with colleagues/friends, deduplicting references, adding notes/tags and searching your Library

Full details of how to do all of these things are given in this guide.

* Please note: You should only have one EndNote Library. Multiple libraries inevitably means confusion with where references are saved, duplication and mistakes. You can have one library and multiple groups/folders in that Library. If you are using more than one device, then it is possible to sync with EndNote Online to ensure that you have the same EndNote library on each device. Details of how to use them together are given in Appendix B: Syncing Endnote Online and EndNote Desktop.

See:

The citation/reference style determines how your in-text citations and reference lists are formatted.  Unless told otherwise by academic staff, we recommend you use the ‘Harvard HWU Cite Them Right’ style.

  • This style is available on all University managed PCs and you do not need to download it.
  • If you are using EndNote on your own PC/laptop, then you will need to install it from:

This video shows you how to split up your references so that you have a separate list at the of each section of your document, e.g. separate lists for different chapters.

Where can I get help using EndNote Basic/Online

EndNote (desktop) is a better reference management tool than EndNote Basic/Online, with many additional features available in the desktop version.  As of academic year 2019/20, Library staff will be focusing on promoting and teaching EndNote (desktop), which we recommend you use as your 'main' EndNote Library, only using the Online Library to 'sync', see:

Staff at Dubai are still teaching EndNote Basic/Online, and can be contacted for help/advice:
