We are excited to announce that EndNote 21 has now been rolled out across Queensland Health (QH). As a result, please note that this guide is in the process of being updated to reflect the latest features and instructions for EndNote 21. Training sessions are still available upon request. We appreciate your patience during this transition.
The LKC advises users to primarily utilise EndNote on a single computer or device. In cases where this is not feasible, the LKC recommends the following guidelines:
Library Sync: It is recommended to set up library synchronisation using EndNote Online. Please avoid using other cloud storage solutions such as OneDrive for syncing.
Single Library Usage: Stick to using a single library and make use of folders to organise and separate references. Multiple libraries can complicate maintenance and backups, as EndNote Online sync supports only one library.
Regular Backups: Ensure that you regularly back up your library in a minimum of two different locations. Avoid renaming your library as this can lead to complications.
Before proceeding with an upgrade, please take the following steps:
Close all Microsoft products, in particular Word.
Perform a recent backup of your current EndNote library and/or ensure EndNote online sync has been configured correctly.
Ensure that EndNote is not running on the computer where you intend to install EndNote 21.
For Queensland Health computer users, please note that your system should have been upgraded to Windows 10 in order to use EndNote 21.
