Paperpile is an excellent tool for sharing and keeping track of research papers, and it is fully integrated into Google Docs – which means you can easily add citations on shared documents. Many teams and projects use Paperpile to organize and share references. If you need a paperpile account, request a key from Megan Walsh. Be sure to associate the Paperpile with your EHA Google account, not a personal one.

Many people in the office use EndNote which can be offline on your desktop or online. A nice feature of Endnote is the traveling libraries export from word documents. You will need a license for this, so contact Megan Walsh.

23.1 Converting Paperpile Citations in Google Docs to Endnote Citations in MS Word

There are some situations where you may need to convert a Google Doc with Paperpile citations into a Microsoft Word Document with Endnote citations. Luckily, Paperpile has a detailed guide to walk you through the process.

But first, you must properly install the Paperpile Google Docs Add-on!

  • Note: You may already have the Google Chrome Paperpile Extension installed and be using it to create citations in your Google Doc, but you need the Google Docs Add-on for proper exporting.

To install this addon, follow the links from Paperpile’s website dedicated to Google Docs.

Now, when you open a document in Google Docs, you should see both menus for Addons and Paperpile. In order to begin Step 1 of Paperpile’s Endnote Guide, you need to access the add-on sidebar:

  • Go to Addons \(\rightarrow\) Paperpile \(\rightarrow\) Manage Citations and the Paperpile side-bar will appear
  • Don’t try to export or mess around with the Paperpile menu option (or P symbol) – they won’t help you!

Once you have the add-on sidebar open, you can follow Paperpile’s detailed guide.

  • Note: depending on your operating system and your edition of Microsoft Word, some of the Word menus may appear slightly different than the ones depicted in Paperpile’s guide. However, the Paperpile images included in the guide should look exactly the same.
