There are three methods for adding the full text of articles to an EndNote Library:
Find Full Text Feature
- Highlight the references in the library for which full text is desired.
- Go to References->Find Full Text->Find Full Text again.
- EndNote will then begin searching for full text matching those references.
Attach a PDF
- With PDF files already saved, highlight the reference matching the article.
- Go to References->File Attachments->Attach File.
- Navigate to the saved PDF.
- Select the PDF and click Open.
- Click on a different reference in the library to save the changes (a paperclip icon will appear next to the reference).
Import PDF to Create a Reference
- With PDF files already saved, go to File->Import.
- Select File for one PDF or Folder for multiple PDFs stored in a folder.
- Select the file or folder and make sure Import Options is set to "PDF File or Folder."
- Click the Import button. EndNote will import the PDFs and attempt to match them with external full text.
Note: If a match is not found, the PDF will be imported with no reference and the title will show up as an alphanumeric string. Those records can be modified manually by opening the PDF and entering information such as author and title from the article.
