EndNote Online Classic (free version)

Instructions on using the free version of EndNote.

Adding References Manually

This is the most labor-intensive way to enter references into EndNote Online and is the most prone to errors. Avoid using it if possible.

First, locate the Collect tab near the top of the screen.

  1. Click New Reference
  2. Select the appropriate reference type from the Reference Type drop-down list. The page will update to show the relevant fields for that reference type.
  3. Enter the bibliographic data into each field. The Bibliographic Fields section lists the most commonly required fields for a properly formatted citation and bibliography.
  4. Select the appropriate group for the new reference.
  5. Click the Save button.

Linking PDFs to References

You can attach a PDF (or other files) to a reference in EndNote Online.

  1. In the My References tab, click the paper clip icon at the bottom of the reference to which you want to attach a file.
  2. Click the Attach Files option. You can also attach figures using the icon to the right of the paperclip icon. You can upload a maximum of 5 files at a time.
