EndNote WA Health
The WA Health libraries have a whole of WA Health licence for EndNote for work or home installation. X9.3. is the current Health supported version. EndNote 20 cannot be deployed until ALL WA Health PCs are updated to Win 10, Office 365.
Please upgrade your home software if you plan on working between your work PC and your home computer. This is important because once an EndNote Library has been opened in X9.3. it will not then open in earlier versions of EndNote - regardless of the operating system - Mac and windows users.
The Web of Science Group advises compatibility and system requirements for EndNote.
Once downloaded you need to Configure EndNote X9 to Find Full Text.
See: Compatibility information for Windows, Macintosh, EndNote Online
Download EndNote X20 on your home computer from the appropriate tab above.
EndNote X9 is compatible across platforms - you can create your library on a MAC, save it as a compressed library on a USB then open it on a PC (and vice-versa). EndNote X8 & X9 are also compatible.

EndNote for Mac: macOS Catalina Compatibility
Known issues

MacOS Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, and Catalina Users
MacOS versions 10.12 (Sierra), 10.13 (High Sierra), 10.14 (Mojave), and 10.15 (Catalina) contain features to save the contents of the Documents folder in iCloud and to "optimize" storage by storing less-used files only in iCloud online. EndNote libraries stored in iCloud, even when stored on both the hard drive and online, are subject to corruption over time. If you choose to store your documents in iCloud, we suggest creating a separate folder in your home folder and saving your EndNote libraries there. Do not store EndNote libraries in iCloud or any other cloud-syncing folder, and do not store EndNote libraries in the Documents folder if you have selected the option to store documents in iCloud.

Configuring EndNote’s Find Full Text for CAHS on your home PC or Mac
You need to set some preferences in order to make use of the Find Full Text function within EndNote.
Open your EndNote program.
Windows |
Macs |
Edit |
EndNote |
Tick all four boxes: Web of Science; DOI; PubMed LinkOut; and OpenURL.
Do NOT tick the box "Automatically invoke Find Full Text on newly-imported references". If you tick this box it will restrict full-text retrieval as it only pulls in the full text for references that were imported from text files. If the references were imported through direct export or from online search the find full text function will fail.
On WA Health PCs, in the Authenticate with: box, type this URL http://www.google.com.au/ (this step is NOT necessary for home installations). When you click on the blue PDF icon that prompts ‘Find Full Text’ when you hover over it, the Google search box comes up. Click on ‘Continue’ to authenticate.
In the OpenURL Path box, you need to put the link to the Library’s open URL resolver as below:
https://login.pklibresources.health.wa.gov.au/login?url=https://findit.health.wa.gov.au/pmh
The Find Full Text function also works more effectively if you have an EndNote web account established and if you login and keep open an active browser session whilst running the function.
Set up an EndNote Web account
Why? If you have integration between your desktop application and EndNote Web Account set up, the Find Full Text Function retrieves more full text than EndNote is able to if this is not synced.
Set up an EndNote Online Account.
Once you have your account set up, go into EndNote preferences on your desktop application, choose
Edit
Preferences
Sync
Enter your EndNote Web Account Credentials and hit 'apply'.
Note that ‘Find full text’ will work well for many journals but will not work for some where full text access is in fact available. Some records will not contain enough information for the article to be retrieved (it’s important to import complete references), access to some titles may only be available via an aggregator and not from the publisher URL that comes with the record, and some journals need to be accessed via a path that includes a login and this cannot be incorporated into EndNote’s Find Full Text search.
Check the Journals A-Z to see if we have access to any missing articles and submit an Article Request if not available. Other options to find subscribed full text – LibKey Nomad Chrome browser plug in.
LibKey from BrowZine is a suite of tools that provides one click access to Library subscribed content. Includes: LibKey Nomad, LibKey Link and LibKey.io.
Plug-ins are browser extensions that allow one click access to subscribed Library resources. They include LibKey Nomad, Lazy Scholar, Access Anywhere, OneClick, Lean Library and the Google Scholar button.
All but LibKey Nomad will be blocked within the Health network due to security concerns, as most scrape up data from browsers and could compromise patient information.
LibKey Nomad will only install on Edge version 83.0.478.50 or later. It will also install on other Chromium browsers such as Chrome and Brave

EndNote How-To Book
Step-by-step instructions for installing EndNote and for using many of the popular features in EndNote.
The Vancouver style is now the preferred style for CAHS and should be used for referencing in all CAHS documents.
You will need to download the modified Vancouver CAHS Style
See Downloading Output Styles into EndNote for instructions.
This guide gives examples of the most common reference formats.
EndNote works with filters, connectors and styles
filters to pull records from databases into EndNote (Medline, PsycInfo, Web of Science, Embase etc),
connectors to search out to sources such as PubMed from within EndNote and
styles to format referencing according to various styles (such as publisher specific styles, as well as Vancouver, Harvard, APA etc).
EndNote is installed with filters connectors and styles, though it may be necessary to get updates from EndNote.
It is possible to customise filters connectors and styles. If you do this the customised files are not stored in the program files (so that they are not lost if EndNote is uninstalled).
Some useful connectors and filters that are not included in the default files are available for download below.
This feature is available for X8 & X9 users.
Note: Viewing videos with Chrome Edge - ensure sound is not muted. PCH users with NUCs - headphones must be plugged in.
The following small change to the IE browser setting will assist EndNote to search out to PubMed and also improves retrieval of pdfs using the Find Full Text function

Scroll down to Security and untick the following two boxes:
