19 EndNote for ipad app Sharing an EndNote library Sometimes you need to share an EndNote library (ex: when doing a systematic review) EndNote saves a library into.enl file and other files in <document.data> folder It is usually not wise to copy all of these files and send to others 19

20 Sharing an EndNote library Instead, use Compressed Library in File menu. 20

21 Note You may also use this technique to backup your library as.enlx files Special Use of Style: Export to Excel In some situation, e.g. doing a systematic review, you may need to export EndNote library into a spreadsheet or database program like Excel/Access EndNote has no direct support to export database We need to produce a text file that is separated each items with <tab> A separation with commas will interfere with many of the field such as Author name so it would not be practical 21

22 EndNote Library Tab separated Text file Excel or Access 1. create a new style Choose Edit Output Styles New Style 22

23 2. select Bibliography Template from the Left side 23

24 3. Click Reference Types and choose Journal Article template 4. Insert fields that you want with button on the right side and separate fields with Tab Example: Record Number <tab> Author <tab> Year <tab> 24

25 Recommended fields to export First author name Title of paper Year of publication Journal name E mail address/contact information of author (Optional: Abstract) You may set the format of author name with Surname first in the Bibliography > Author Names section if you like 25

26 Save the style with the name you want (File Save As) Next, open the library you want to export Please note that Endnote separated Author field with a carriage return (a new line) This is important as Excel will also treat carriage return as the start of new cell We need to get rid of these carriage returns 26

27 NOTE: Before we further remove these carriage returns, we need to save a copy of our library first! (There is no way to reinsert back automatically) Select Edit >> Find and Replace 27

28 Set find in to: Any field Find the Carriage return Replace with anything you want, I suggest ;. Select OK 28

29 Now author field will contain only one line Now, export 29

30 Select style that you have just created earlier and then save In Excel Choose File Open in Excel Choose the text file you just exported Use the Import Text wizard as follow 30

33 Remember! You MUST backup your library or make an edit on a copy of your library There is no way to undo from removing carriage returns Mendeley 33
