Referencing & Citation Tools

You can add notes to all of the references imported from a database automatically by using EndNote's Change/Move/Copy Fields function.

1. First select all of the references you have imported from the database by going to the Imported References group
2. Then go to Tools > Change/Move/Copy Fields...
3. In Change Fields select Research Notes as the field
4. Choose Insert before field's text
5. Type in your notes such as the name of the database, saved search name, date searched, etc
6. Click OK

The text will be added to the Reserach Notes field of all the selected references.

You can use EndNote's Groups function to create individual groups to house results from each of the databases. See the EndNote Getting Started Guide to find out more about creating groups.

To remove all duplicate references from your library at the same time:

1. First select the All References group
2. Then go to References > Find Duplicates
3. Click Cancel on the dialog box that opens
4. Then drag all shaded references in to the Trash group
