The Research Skills Team supports postgraduate research students, academic staff, research staff and research support staff with the use of EndNote via an introductory Canvas course, supplemented with online Question and Answer sessions to resolve any queries that arise after finishing the Canvas course. Undergraduates and taught postgraduates should seek support for using EndNote from the Academic Skills Centre. For information around obtaining the latest version of the EndNote software, see the EndNote Desktop webpage.
EndNote training options
We recommend that researchers use the following training resources to support their use of EndNote:
- Our self-enrol Canvas course, Introduction to EndNote 20, provides introductory teaching on using the key features of the EndNote Desktop software. This includes creating an EndNote library and importing references from a range of sources, as well as how to insert citations and generate reference lists/bibliographies in a specific referencing style within Microsoft Word. (N.B. A new Introduction to EndNote 21 Canvas course will be released in Autumn 2024).
- The Research Skills Team host one-hour Zoom Question and Answer sessions to answer any EndNote questions researchers may have after consulting the Introduction to EndNote 20 Canvas course. Forthcoming Question and Answer sessions are listed below.
- The Research Skills Team can also support researchers with using EndNote via one-to-one appointments and/or bespoke workshops.
EndNote Desktop Question and Answer session dates
Question and Answer sessions are available to support researchers with EndNote queries arising once the Introduction to EndNote 20 Canvas course has been consulted.
