Click on the tabs below for information about EndNote Desktop and Endnote Online.
EndNote provides tools to:
EndNote Desktop is installed on IT Services managed PCs and is available for all other University and personally-owned staff and student PCs; see the Obtaining the software tab.
EndNote is installed on all IT Services classroom PCs. It appears under Start.
To install EndNote on computers managed by IT Services, follow these steps:
Once installed it appears under Start.
All staff and students can install EndNote on unmanaged University-owned PCs and personally-owned devices, including PCs, Macs or Windows tablets.
A licence code is required to activate EndNote.
An enhanced version of EndNote Online is also available to staff and students, free of charge (and the Premium version available for anyone who has installed EndNote 21, the most recent desktop version of EndNote). Please see the EndNote Online page for how to sign up for this.
EndNote Online (Basic version) is available to anyone, but members of the University of York can get an enhanced account that has access to the University of York referencing styles. You can also access EndNote Online (Premium version) if you have an EndNote 21 licence, which means any University of York user who has accessed EndNote 21 and synced their library to EndNote Online should be able to use the Premium version.
Once you have registered to use EndNote Online, you can access it from anywhere with a computer connected to the Internet.
To register you will either need to be on a campus PC or use the Virtual Desktop Service.
On a campus PC or using the VDS, go to https://www.myendnoteweb.com
Choose Register and sign up using your University email address
Complete the registration form, making sure that you read the Password Rules before choosing a suitable password (for security reasons, do not use your UoY password).
Note: To check you have the enhanced version, go to the person icon in the top right hand corner of EndNote Online, choose Account | Subscription. An enhanced account should show ‘Web of Science’ under ‘Account’, with an expiration date of when you’ll need to log in again from a campus PC to keep the enhanced account.
With an enhanced account, you should see York specific styles such as UoY - Harvard when you go to Format | Bibliography and view the bibliographic style list.
If you do not have ‘Web of Science’ under the Account Information and you do not see the UoY styles, try logging in from a campus PC or through the VDS. You can also try accessing Web of Science through the University subscription and then choose the EndNote tab at the top of the screen to access EndNote Online. See EndNote’s list of ways you can register for an EndNote Online account for more details.
After you have left the University, the account will be 'downgraded' to a Standard account, but none of your data will be lost in the process. You will also lose access to EndNote Premium once you no longer have access to EndNote 21 (after three years from activation).
