Installing Additional Filters

The EndNote team has developed hundreds of different filter files. Because installing all of these files may slow performance, a typical EndNote installation includes only the most popular filters. You can install sets of filters by provider with the EndNote installer, or you can download individual filters from the EndNote online site.

Using the EndNote Installer to Install Additional Filters

First, make sure EndNote is closed and not running. You can run the EndNote installation program again, choose the option to Modify the installation, and then select sets of filters to install.

To install sets of filters:

  1. Log in to the machine with administrative rights or as a user with program installation privileges.

  2. Do one of these:

    Start the EndNote installation program as you would for a new installation.

    Or, from the Windows Start menu, select Control Panel, or select Settings, and then select Control Panel. Then, select Add or Remove Programs. In the list, click on EndNote and then Change.

  3. On the “Application Maintenance” dialog, select the Modify option and click Next.

  4. On the “Select Features” dialog, click the plus sign (+) next to Additional Filters.

  5. For each set of filters you would like to install, click the triangle and select either "Will be installed on local hard drive" or "Entire feature will be installed on local hard drive."

  6. Click Next to continue with the installation.

The filters will be copied to the EndNote Filters folder, which is typically Program Files\EndNote \Filters.

Finding Individual Filters on the EndNote Online Site

You can use the Filter Manager in EndNote to find and download individual filter files.

To download individual filters:

  1. From the Edit menu in EndNote, select Import Filters, and then select Open Filter Manager.

  2. Click "Get More on the Web" to start your default browser and go to the appropriate page on the EndNote desktop web site.

  3. Click Accept to accept the Terms of Use.

  4. Browse through an alphabetical listing of the available filter files and Download those files you want to install.

  5. Copy the downloaded files to your Filters folder, which is typically located at Program Files\EndNote \Filters.
