Endnote & Mind-mapping software

EndNote EndNote General

Hi,

just wondering if anyone knows of a mind-mapping programme available that is compatible with Endnote.  If such a programme existed, the planning of literature reviews, dissertations or standard essays would be much simpler for those who like to spatially plan essays - you could lay out your sections, subsections and key points linked to their relavent references from Endnote. 

Programmes such as inspiration and mindgenius are recommended/available at most British universities but neither has the facility to insert Endnote citations/references (or I haven’t been able to anyway).

So - does anyone know of any programmes that do as I describe above?

Thanks

As far as I know, the only EN compatible add-in is “Cite-While-You-Write” for MS Word.  With other programs you can rest your mouse in EN on the desired reference, copy to the clip board with CTRL-C, switch to any other document type and paste with CTRL-V.  What you get is something like this;

{Smith, 2014, #14292}

Where Smith is the primary author, 2014 is the publication date, and #14292 is the sequential record number assigned in your EN database.  That is better than nothing of course, but not terribly useful.

Ctrl+K copies the reference as it is defined in the selected output style in Endnote, which can be pasted into another place.

I was looking for the same thing when I was using Endnote too, but I couldnt find anything.

I have just migrated to Docear, it is open source and automatically or manually allows you to mind-map your annotations and cross sync them with highlights and comments from your pdf viewer :slight_smile:

I have just migrated to Docear because it allows you to, as you describe, “spatially plan” your writing. It is open source and automatically or manually allows you to mind-map your annotations and cross sync them with highlights and comments from your pdf viewer :slight_smile:
