Information for EndNote Online Users

PDF versions of print journal articles are direct copies of the print edition, so you can treat them as print journals.

In EndNote there are reference types for ‘journal article’ and ‘electronic article’. When you export references into EndNote from the electronic databases they will display as journal articles. This means when you format them in GMIT’s Harvard Style they will not display a URL for the article, even though you accessed them online and there is a URL in the EndNote record. These references are not wrong. Most articles available in the electronic databases are PDF versions of the printed journal. This means they are an exact copy of the print journal, so you can reference them as a print journal article (without the URL).

There are a small number of journals that are only made available electronically, these need to be entered into EndNote as an 'electronic article' to display the URL and Access Date fields. These journals will typically be displayed in html format and will not have PDFs of the articles available.
