To configure Find Full Text settings in EndNote, follow the most recent instructions linked below. 

Note that even with the Find Full Text settings activated, this feature does not guarantee a successful PDF upload for every reference. There are a number of external factors that can impact the success rate, for example:

  • The DOI field is empty (you can manually enter a DOI number and try again).
  • PDF harvesting has been blocked by the database.
  • There is a known issue when retrieving full text from some databases i.e. Wiley, JSTOR and ScienceDirect. 
  • A specific article is part of a larger pdf of the entire journal.
  • There is no PDF available.

You can manually attach a PDF to an existing reference if the Find Full Text tool failed to import the PDF. See the Adding PDFs link below.

For the OpenURL settings to work, EndNote 20.3 and later will need to be installed.
