EndNote is a bibliographic management tool that can help you collect and organize references and pdfs that you’ve found and read. EndNote also makes creating bibliographies in Word quick and easy, in hundreds of different styles (including AIP).

EndNote is available on all computers in the computer labs.  You may also download and install EndNote on your own computer if you are a student, faculty, or staff.  Installation links and instructions are at the bottom of this page.

Set the Style

1. In EndNote, click on drop-down box in the right pane above the citation preview.  Or go to Edit -> Output Styles -> Open Style Manager
2. Choose "Select Another Style"
3. Choose JACS-CC or J Amer Chem Society-CC.  Make sure it has the "-CC" prefix.

Contact a librarian if you do not have the correct style on your computer!  We'll get you set up.  

Cite While You Write

1. In your word document, place or leave your cursor where you want your in-text citation to appear.
2. Go to the EndNote Toolbar in Word and click on “Insert Citation”, 
3. Search for the paper(s) you want to cite, and highlight them. 
4. In a few seconds your citation and bibliography (at the end of the document) will appear.
5. If the bibliography is in the wrong style, go to the EndNote toolbar in Word and choose the style you need to use, or click “Confiugre Bibliography” and choose your output style.  

Stand-alone bibliography

A stand-alone bibliography will not be connected with EndNote.  This gives you more flexibility in editing it later and you can use it to add a bibliography to a poster or a presentation that isn't in Word. 

1. In EndNote, highlight the references you want in your bibliography.
2. Click Edit -> Copy Formatted. 
3. Paste the bibliography in your document.

2. Click on Marked List to see your saved records.
3. At the bottom of the page, in the Output Records box, choose “Selected Records.”
4. In Step 2, choose “Full Record” if available, otherwise, “Author, Title, Source” and “Plus Abstract.”
5. Click the “EndNote” button.
6. Choose to open the file with EndNote.
7. If asked, choose your library.
8. You should see the new references in your EndNote library.

If you already know the item you want to add, it can be a lot easier to simply search for it through EndNote:
