The book provides step-by-step instruction on using EndNote (version X1) to create a personal digital library of scientific references and to create an accurately formatted bibliography in a manuscript. The book will help novice users in rapidly learning to perform important reference management tasks using EndNote. It will enhance the skills of experienced users in performing advanced tasks such as using EndNote to retrieve references from Internet databases, electronic jou
