Improving the Search for Full Text

These are suggestions for improving the accuracy of the Find Full Text feature:

  • Make sure you are IP authenticated to access any premium full text resources to which you would like EndNote to attempt connecting.
  • Ask your librarian whether your institution is set up with Web of Science Core Collection journal links. If so, create a free personalized Web of Science Core Collection account and log in. If your institution does not have custom journal links set up for Web of Science Core Collection, ask your librarian to set it up (it is easy and free).
  • Create a free EndNote account and log in. Enhanced EndNote Web/online is included for three-years with EndNote. Make sure your EndNote account information is complete under EndNote Preferences (Edit > Preferences > Sync).
  • Review your EndNote references to confirm that the DOI information is in the DOI field. If it is not, data for multiple records can be moved between fields with the Change/Move/Copy Fields… command from the Library menu. (See Move/Copy Fields.)
  • Enable Web browser cookies.
