I am using Endnote from long time ago, so many of the references I have do not include the DOI. Some journals ask now for including this information in the reference list.
By now, I open each reference (one by one) and add this information manually, which I have found previuosly by internet. This is too much laboriuos and time consuming.
Is there any way to update my references with this information (faster and easier than the way I am using now)?
I am using Endnote X6
Thanks
You can try using the Find Reference Update command found under the References menu in EndNote.
You can find out more information about this feature on our website:
Thank you.
I have tried it and it works for some references, but not for others.
I have find the both cases: some references (in fact, many) in my endnote reference list had already the DOI, but it did not appear in the updated reference found by EndNote, and I could not include DOI in some references, because it did not appear in the updated reference. I have checked if they correspond to old publications or less common journals, but these are not the case.
Anyway, this solution is faster than that I used, although I have to check reference by reference for accepting updates and click the save and continue button every time.
Thank again

DOI is the only method that I can use??
Could you please share with me the settings at the “template” level of the “Bibliography” that allow the DOI to be displayed? In my case, inserting the DOI field in either the “Electronic Article” or “Journal Article” entry does not display the DOI in the reference.
What could be the issue here?
Usually, I use the “Import into EndNote” option available in Google Scholar to add references to EndNote. I’ve observed that while all other fields are imported correctly, the DOI field remains blank.
I’m wondering why the “Import into EndNote” option doesn’t automatically capture the DOI of the article. Is it something that needs to be entered manually?
What is interesting about Google Scholar is that it includes all papers, making it the most comprehensive database. Another advantage is the “Import into EndNote” tool, which allows references to be transferred automatically to EndNote. However, it seems there is no option to select which fields to transfer, and unfortunately, the DOI is not included among the fields transferred from Google Scholar to EndNote. While the DOI can be manually entered in EndNote and will then display correctly in the reference, this adds an extra burden for users.
Hello there!
First I would not call Google Scholar a database per se (like Medline or Scopus) it is rather more of a search engine that crawls the web to find scientific documents from a wide range of sources. Google scholar lists a variety of document types like articles, reports, presentations, and sometimes non-peer-reviewed content.
The tool “Import into EndNote” is provided by Google Scholar. If Google Scholar dos not provide the DOI then it will not appear in your library reference after an EndNote import. If you want an improvement regarding the bibliographic information provided in the download options offered by Google Scholar you would have to contact Google Scholar.
Hope that helps.
Kind regards
Stephanie
