Creating a Smart Group

With smart groups, EndNote will automatically place into the smart group any future or existing references that contain your search criteria within any field within the reference, e.g. title, author, abstract, keywords, etc. To create a smart group:

  • In your EndNote Library select  Groups > Create Smart Group

 

  • Give the newly created smart group a name in the Smart Group box
  • Click on the Author drop-down list, and select Any Field. In the text box, type a word that commonly appears in your references (e.g. in title, author or abstract). Then click on "Create"
