EndNote Reference Manager Upgrade

EndNote, a reference manager software package licensed by Mayo Clinic for institutional use, is being upgraded from version 21.3 to 21.4. Beginning on October 3^rd, launching EndNote from Mayo Dock will install version 21.4, the latest available version. Improvements in version 21.4 include:

• Improved PubMed search results when using PubMed stop-words
• Resolved issues with editing PDF attachments for records with multiple attachments
• Resolved PDF zoom level retention
• Various bug fixes and display tweaks

EndNote is a powerful tool for collecting, managing, and citing references. It integrates into multiple Microsoft Office tools, simplifying the writing process. Mayo Clinic Libraries can deliver literature search results in EndNote format, which makes it easier to manage large article sets and gather PDFs. EndNote can also automatically retrieve PDFs from many publishers. Nomad, the browser plugin provided by the library, can also export citations into EndNote for faster bibliography building. See the library’s complete guide for more details about how EndNote can help you with the research process.

Mayo Clinic maintains an institutional license for EndNote. You can install this software on any PC connected to the Mayo network from the Mayo Dock. Mac users can install EndNote on Mayo-owned Macs using the Self Service tool.

Mayo Clinic’s license also allows students and staff to install EndNote on their personal computers.  Detailed instructions for downloading and installing both the PC and Mac versions of EndNote 21.4 on your own computer are also available on the library’s EndNote guide.
