EndNote How To

yes, indeed, it worked for this particular DOI, but failed for others with my X8 in Win7.

Thanks anyway!

Hi guys,

I consulted an expert from inside the EndNote team, and got confirmed that the issue was being handled. Before a full solution comes out, I was suggested to go to CrossRef.org to find the reference and then import it from there into EndNote. PDF can be attached to the imported reference if preferred.

As a workaround, you can search for the references directly in the Crossref database with the DOI information and import it into the EndNote library. To do so, please follow the steps below:

1. Go to the webpage Crossref.org. 
2. Click on “Search Metadata” and perform the search with the DOI number. 
3. Click on Actions > Cite and choose the “RIS” format. 
4. Copy/paste the RIS tagged information into a Notepad and save it as a “.txt” file. 
5. Open your EndNote library. Click on File > Import > File. 
6. Click on “Choose” and select the “.txt” file. 
7. Choose “Reference Manager (RIS)” from the “Import Option” drop-down and click on “Import”.

I know this is 'semi-automatic', but at least sparing a lot of typing work :-)

Cheers!

Awesome, praying it comes out sooner rather than later....this is a major workflow disruption. Endnote x9 on MacOs 10.14.2.
