Document managementEndnote or NoteExpressWhich is more appropriate?

Comparison of NoteExpress and Endnote document management software usage.

1.Literature discovery, organization, and management functions.

In this regard, NoteExpress and Endnote have similar functions, and they can also import references through three ways (manual import, online search import, and search result generation file import). It can also be used to search and check the duplication of local literature databases;

A: In this function, the advantages of NoteExpress software are:

1) Full Chinese interface, easy for users to learn and get started;

2) NoteExpress supports the creation of a table of contents in the same reference database, and manages references according to the catalog, EndNote does not support this function;

3) Support note-taking function, you can make separate notes on the references you are interested in at any time, and can be classified and managed, EndNote does not support this function;

4) Make the noteexpress shortcut into the shortcut menu of the right mouse button, you can always transfer the content of the web page you are browsing to the local area and put it into the "Notes" category for management, EndNote does not support this function;

5) Provide the function of saving relevant search history, EndNote does not support this function;

6) NoteExpress supports the input and output of bibtex format reference data; EndNote only supports exporting references to Bibtex format;

7) The reference format of the journal that can be imported into Endnote's database can also be imported into NoteExpress.

8) NoteExpress imports references from Chinese literature databases such as VIP, Wanfang, and CNKI more conveniently, and the software comes with corresponding filters, and the database endnote does not come with these filters;

9) Support **Online search Chinese VIP, Guotu Chinese books (Wanfang, CNKI Academy of Sciences did not open this database, can not be searched online) batch import of literature Chinese literature data, endnote does not provide corresponding settings.

B: In this function, the shortcomings of NoteExpress software are:

1) It is a little complicated for individuals to make database filters, which is not as easy to use as Endnote;

2) The data format generated from the database search results is formulated by the endnote software developer, and there is no independent data format of its own, and the notepress software needs to select the endnote format when importing the foreign language database search results.

At this point, the functions of the two are relatively similar, both support the insertion of toolbars in Word to facilitate writing, and both can set the specific format of the output references.

A: In this function, the advantages of NoteExpress software are:

1) Support importing references in word format to notee

I have used notefirst and endnote, of which notefirst supports humanization of Chinese, provides many domestic colleges and universities **template, after searching**, you can use it directly, no need to style yourself, but the foreign language support is not good. If you have a lot of Chinese and foreign literature, it is recommended to use Endnote, EndNote supports databases such as Web of Science, EI, Scopus, Science Direct, CNKI, etc., Google Scholar also supports exporting EndNote special format ENW, academic also supports exporting ENW format, although CNKI exports TXT, but as long as the suffix name is changed to ENW. The ENW file is an endnote-specific format, and double-clicking on the file will automatically import it.

Scopus database export RIS format file, EndNote is also supported, select RIS in the Select Import filter. And endnote is more powerful, after the complete installation, there are more than 5,000 built-in styles, almost including major journal styles, recommended to use. Regarding the specific use of software, you can take a look at the open class of literature management and information analysis by Luo Zhaofeng, a teacher from the University of Science and Technology of China, which is very good.

1. First of all, in the computer, open [Endnote], as shown in the figure below.

2. After entering Endnote, click [File] in the upper left corner, and click the [Import] > [File] option in the sub-menu.

3. Then in the pop-up window, find and click the [Choose] option, as shown in the figure below.

4. Then in the window that opens, find the location of the file and select it, and click the [Open] option, as shown in the figure below.

5. Click [Import] to wait for import, and after the import is completed, you can find that there is an extra document in the left column [Imported References], indicating that the import has been completed.

Key features:

In short, it is a document management that is powerful. Insert citations and references while writing, and complete it with one click. In case of rejection, change to journal, if the reference style is different, it will take a few minutes to complete the change, etc.
