What is Reference Management Software?
Reference management software is software for
scholars and authors to use for recording and
utilizing bibliographic citations (references).
Once a citation has been recorded, it can be used
time and again in generating bibliographies, such
as lists of references in scholarly books, articles
and essays. The development of reference
management packages has been driven by the
rapid expansion of scientific literature...
These software packages normally consist of a
database in which full bibliographic references can be
entered, plus a system for generating selective lists or
articles in the different formats required by publishers
and learned journals.
Modern reference management packages can usually
be integrated with word processors so that a reference
list in the appropriate format is produced
automatically... They will also have a facility for
importing the details of publications from bibliographic
databases.

What is EndNoteWeb?
EndNoteWeb is a commercial reference
management software package, used to
manage bibliographies and references when
writing essays and articles. It is made by
Thomson Scientific.
Users can add references to a 'library' manually or
via importing or exporting via the program. Via
PubMed, users can select citations, select a
specific format, and save them as .txt files

Remember - If you fail to use the Login
page, you will have a second option on the
Contents sub-page.
Once you are logged in to the
HINARI Content page, click on
Reference sources to access
EndNoteWeb.
EndNoteWeb
Using the Reference Sources A-Z list, we will
access EndNoteWeb, one of the three options for
this bibliographic software.
Other EndNote Options
Using the Search inside HINARI full-text
through database and article searching A-Z list,
you also can access Web of Knowledge Special
Edition – Current Contents and Web of
Knowledge Special Edition - Medline.
From these databases, you can save
bibliographic citations to EndNoteWeb.. We will
discuss these options at the end of this module.
This is the Sign In page for an EndNoteWeb
account. We will go through the steps to
register.
You first click on the Sign Up for an account
- to complete this process.
The first registration step is to
enter your E-mail Address
twice and click on Continue.
You will be directed to this screen where you are
required to enter your First and Last Names plus a
Password and answer questions about your Primary
Role/Title and Subject Area. You also must 'agree' to
the license agreement.
Note the complicated Password Guidelines and
please make sure you save the password in a secure
place.
From the initial EndNoteWeb page, you are
given the options to My References, Collect,
Organize and Format bibliographic citations.
We will review all these sections.
From the Collect section, there are three options
to obtain citations. The Online Search option
retrieves references from a selected database or
library catalog.
The New Reference enables users to create new
references by entering manually the relevant data
in the bibliographic fields of the displayed
template.
The Import References is used to collect
references saved as text files (.txt) from databases
or any other sources.
The Online Search option can be used to retrieve
references from the PubMed(NLM) in the dropdown list; however, this option has limited
functionality
` plus you are familiar with
searching/saving in the HINARI/PubMed version.
In this module, we will search references from the
recommended HINARI/PubMed and use the
Import References option to import the citations to
EndNoteWeb.
(Note: See Appendix 1 on how to complete an
online search in the EndNoteWeb PubMed option)
We will access HINARI/PubMed from the
HINARI Contents page.
In the PubMed Search box, enter the avian
flu AND chickens keyword search.
After the search is displayed, check the leftcolumn boxes. (see Module 4.1 for further
instructions). These checked citations will be
exported to EndNoteWeb.
In the Summary display, 12 citations that
previously were checked are listed.
We will click on the Citation manager send to file
option in order to save and export these files to
EndNoteWeb .
Note that the Medline display lists the fields that
will be transferred to EndNoteWeb
Via the HINARI Reference Sources drop down
menu, access and Login to EndNoteWeb.
In the Collect section, we will open the Import
References option.
From the File drop down menu, browse for the
previously saved .txt file, activate
PubMed(NLM) from the filter menu and, in the
To: Select menu, choose the new group option.
In the Enter a New Group Name option,
add the Avian Flu and Chickens name and
click on OK.
The final step is to click on the Import box
and transfer the files from the .txt file.
This slide confirms that 12 references have
been imported into the Avian Flu and
Chickens group that previously was created.
From the My References option, display the Avian
Flu and Chickens group. Note that all the groups
are displayed.
For all of these citations, you can view the Author,
Year, Title and Journal information.
Also, you can Copy, Delete or Remove from Group
any of the citations.
In Collect, you also can import records from
an EndNote File that you have saved. You
are able to select the EndNote Filter and also
select a group (e.g. Avian Flu and Chickens)
that the files will be imported To.
We now will proceed to the Organize section.
In the Collect section, you also can
manually enter New References in the
Bibliographic Fields.
The key is to make sure you have
entered all the relevant data so that
that they can be formatted correctly.
In the Organize/Manage My Groups section, you will
note that the Avian Flu and Chickens Group has 12
references and a previously saved Bednets Group
has 17 references.
Also you can create New Group(s) if you choose
and look at other Group(s) that have been created.
