EndNote bibliographic manager addresses NIH requirement for PMC number

Posted on by

Millions of researchers, students and scholarly writers save time by using EndNote software to:

  • Organize references, images, and PDFs
  • Automatically download bibliographic information from online database searches
  • Create and modify bibliographies in recommended publication formats without retyping

Now, in response to the new National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy requirement that anyone submitting an application, proposal, or progress report to NIH must include the PubMed Central (PMC) number, EndNote has added the following:

  • NIH.ens, a new style file to include a custom data field for the PMC number
  • PubMed.enz and PubMed.enf, updated connection and filter files to read the new PMC data field

To implement, an EndNote user must complete the steps outlined in the Getting PubMed Central ID Numbers into EndNote help page:

  • Download the files (in zip format, to be unzipped on your PC/MAC)
  • Copy the files to the appropriate folder
  • Change the Reference Type “Custom 2″ field” in order to view the PMC number

For more information about EndNote, including instruction sheets and other resources, see the EndNote and Reference Manager UT Southwestern Resources page on the Library Web site.
EndNote is available at no charge to UT Southwestern affiliates. Licenses were purchased by the Graduate School Student Computing Committee.
