Linking a URL to an EndNote Reference

The term "URL" stands for "Uniform Resource Locator" and is a common term for the "address" used to identify the location of an item online. Most often, URLs refer to Web pages, such as this example of the EndNote online page:

//www.endnote.com

URLs can also be used to identify the location of FTP (File Transfer Protocol) sites.

To link a URL to a reference in your EndNote library:

  1. Select a reference in the Library window and open the reference. Put your cursor in the URL field.

  2. Type or paste a valid URL into the field. Two examples:

//www.endnote.com

// ftp.cuteftp.com

The URL becomes a hyperlink (blue and underlined).

For more information about linking to a URL, see URL (Uniform Resource Locator).
