Research collaboration is made easier when you can share your EndNote Library including all the references, PDFs and annotations. All partners can add material, edit, annotate and delete references.
Check the guides on this EndNote help page. Check the tabs at the top for more information.
If you can't find what you need contact library@stir.ac.uk
It is essential that your Endnote Library is stored on your local hard drive. Do not store it on cloud storage services like OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive. These services may corrupt your Endnote Library.
On University laptops and computers store your EndNote Libraries and Data folders at This PC > Windows (C:) > Username (e.g. MSM4)
Create back-ups frequently using the Compressed Library option (File > Compressed Library).
Store your back-up library in OneDrive and restore it to your hard drive if you need to at any time.
If you work between different devices you must synchronise your data via EndNote Online. If regularly synchronised, EndNote Online can provide an additonal backup of your Library.
When sharing EndNote Online Groups and Libraries:
Sharing an EndNote 20 or 21 Library or Group from EndNote Desktop
Your colleague will see the shared Library on the left menu of their EndNote Library (either EndNote desktop or EndNote Online account (https://www.myendnoteweb.com).
Note: the EndNote ribbon in your Word document looks slightly different when you are working with EndNote Online.
There are fewer options e.g. instead of 'Edit & Manage Citation(s)' there is a simple 'Edit' button (but that gives most of the same option to add page number etc.) and there is no 'Edit Library Reference(s)' so for this function, simply go to EndNote Online, edit the reference and then back in your Word document click 'Update Citations & Bibliography' as usual. There is also no categorize or Manuscript Matcher buttons.
There are two methods to create your online account:
1. Via EndNote Desktop:
2. Via Web of Science (WoS)
