How to conduct a quick search using keywords in EndNote?
To perform a quick search using keywords in EndNote, utilize the 'Search References' field typically located near the top of the library interface. Enter your relevant keyword terms directly into this search box and initiate the search function.
EndNote conducts a comprehensive search across key fields in your library's references by default, including Author, Title, Year, Abstract, Keywords, and Notes. For targeted searches, operators like AND, OR, NOT can combine or exclude terms. Ensure accurate spelling of keywords. Filters accessible adjacent to the search field (e.g., selecting 'Any Field', 'Title', or 'Keywords') allow further refinement before or after the initial search, narrowing results effectively; note that exact search features and filter options may differ slightly between the desktop and EndNote Online versions.
This capability significantly expedites locating specific studies, essential for literature reviews or managing large libraries. To implement: access your EndNote library, type keywords into the 'Search References' bar, apply filters if required, and review results. Common uses include identifying papers by topic during manuscript drafting or verifying references before submission.
