Solutions to Common Issues

1. Downloaded citations are not opening in EndNote.

Citation downloads have an .ris file extension.  Sometimes your computer does not know what application to open the file with once it is downloaded or it may want to open it with another application (e.g. Zotero or Mendeley).  These instructions will show you how to tell your operating system to open .ris files with EndNote.

Windows

MAC

2. EndNote tools do not install in Word

When EndNote is installed it creates a new tab in Microsoft Word which has tools to add and format citations (aka CWYW).  Occasionally this is not installed.  The link below provides links to articles for both MACs and PCs.

Installing CWYR

3. Firefox doesn't open exported citations

Some may wish to use Firefox rather than Chrome.  Firefox may not open downloaded citations automatically.  See the following instructions for details.

Firefox Settings

4. Would like to get citations from a word bibliography into EndNote

See the link below if you would like take citations from your Word bibliography, Mendeley or Zotero, and export them to an EndNote Bibliography.
