EndNote X8 for Mac

Creating a new EndNote Library

  • Find EndNote X8 within Applications

  • Open the EndNote App. A new library is automatically created in the documents folder. This is called "My EndNote Library". It has a .enl file and a .Data folder. These must be kept together.

 

Working with Referencing Styles

  • The referencing style is displayed in the bottom right-hand corner (default is Annotated). Click on the drop-down list and select your required style. This enables you to preview your reference in your required style.
