CHEM 5395: Fundamentals of Research: 6. Using EndNote

Installing EndNote Desktop

EndNote 20 will have a visual upgrade but its functionality will remain mostly the same as X9, so you can continue to use EndNote X9 and EndNote Online until you decide to upgrade. Your existing library will transfer over whenever you choose to install the updated software.

Personal Computers  |  Texas State-owned Mac computers  |  Texas State-owned Windows computers  |  EndNote Web

For installation questions, Contact ITAC at (512) 245-4822

Some Windows users have reported that they get an error after downloading the software installer in which the PC prevents an unrecognized app from running. Contact ITAC for assistance, or follow these instructions.

Accessing EndNote Web

To access EndNote Web, go to http://myendnoteweb.com.      

  1. Click on the “Not a member yet? Register” button on the right.

    If you plan to continue using EndNote Web after you leave the university, you may not want to use your @txstate.edu email address.     
  3. You will need to sync your account with the EndNote Desktop application to upgrade your subscription and gain access to more features.
