The output style you need not in your EndNote program? You can download 1000’s of styles from the EndNote web site.
Go to http://endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp and search for your journal (using the full title works best). Once you find the journal, open the .ens file by double-clicking on it. You do not need to save the file–you can open it with EndNote.
It’ll look like:
The trick is to save the file to correct folder on your computer so that the style shows up in your “Select Another Style…” menu. To save it to the appropriate place, go the the File menu and choose Save As…
The name will default to Journal Title Copy.
Delete “Copy” (that is, just save it as the journal title) and click Save.
You should be good to go — the output style will now show up in your “Select Another Style…” menu.

April 7th, 2011, marks the 3rd anniversary of the NIH Public Access Policy. See our newly updated guide at: http://guides.library.muhealth.org/nihpublicaccess.
Did you know that PubMed Central now contains more than 2 million full text articles reporting on the latest NIH-funded research? Did you know that nearly a *half a million* individuals access these articles each day?

PubMed journal abbreviations not working correctly? The PubMed connection file included with EndNote X4.0.2 for both Windows and Mac places the full journal name in the Journal field rather than the abbreviated journal name. A new connection file is now available to import journal names correctly.
Note: not all veterinary journal abbreviations are loaded into the journal terms list, so this new connection file may not fix all the abbreviations. But it should help!
Instructions from EndNote:
The Medical terms list in EndNote keys on the abbreviated journal name for presenting the appropriate variation in your bibliographies. By replacing your X4.0.2 PubMed connection file with this copy, you will restore the journal name substitution with the terms list. This only applies to EndNote X4.0.2, other versions are not impacted. To properly install this new connection file:

Looking for figures and images? Remember a table from a journal article, but can’t remember where you found it?
Try Image Search in SciVerse ScienceDirect. Click the Images radio button and put in your search terms:

Elsevier Press Release on Image Search:
STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the availability of Image Search, a new SciVerse ScienceDirect feature that enables users to quickly and efficiently find images and figures relevant to their specific research objectives.
The new feature allows researchers to search across more than 15 million images contained within SciVerse ScienceDirect. Results include tables, photos, figures, graphs and videos from trusted peer-reviewed full text sources. Saving researchers significant time, Image Search ensures increased efficiency in finding the relevant visuals.
Search results can be refined by image type and contain links to the location within the original source article, allowing researchers to verify image in context. Researchers can take advantage of Image Search to learn new concepts, prepare manuscripts or visually convey ideas in presentations and lectures. The new feature is available to SciVerse ScienceDirect subscribed users at no additional cost.
SciVerse ScienceDirect(www.sciverse.com) contains over a quarter of the world’s full text scientific, technical and medical (STM) peer-reviewed articles. Elsevier’s extensive full-text collection covers authoritative titles from the core scientific literature with more than ten million articles available online. Coverage includes over 2,500 journal titles published by Elsevier with linking to journals from approximately 2,000 STM publishers through CrossRef.
Additionally, SciVerse ScienceDirect contains an expanding library of online major reference works, handbooks, book series and over 10,000 eBooks in all fields of science seamlessly interlinked with primary research referenced in journal articles.

Looking for a figure? Noticing image previews in your PubMed results? Check out the new NCBI Images database.
The Images database contains approximately 3 million images from biomedical literature in NCBI full-text resources. And you’ll see these images embedded in your PubMed results.
From the NLM Technical Bulletin:
PubMed® Display Enhanced with Images from the New NCBI Images Database
[Editor’s Note added October 29, 2010: This change was implemented in PubMed on October 27, 2010 and the Images database was also released on October 27, 2010.]
The PubMed Abstract display for PubMed Central® articles will be enhanced to include an image strip generated from the soon-to-be-released National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Images database (see Figure 1).
The image strip will display thumbnails of the article’s first several images. The image strip will also include a See all images link to display all the article’s images in the Images databases, as well as a Free text link to the article. Right and left arrows on each end of the strip will allow you to rotate through the images.
Mousing over an image in the image strip will generate a preview display of the image with its figure caption (see Figure 2). Click on the image in the image strip, or the mouseover preview display, and go directly to the figure’s page in PubMed Central.
The Images database will allow you to search millions of scientific images from NCBI full text resources; the database initially includes images from PubMed Central (see Figure 3).
You will be able to search the Images database with terms or detailed search parameters, such as image height, width, and caption. The complete list of search fields is available from the Images Advanced search page. Image results initially display in a summary format (see Figure 4) but may also be viewed in a thumbnail display. Retrieval display order is based on a relevancy algorithm.
My NCBI preferences will be updated to allow you to change your Image database default display to Thumbnail.
