The "Find Full Text" feature allows EndNote users to download some full-text articles from references saved in your EndNote Library. However, it is important to note that this function is subject to limitations imposed by the University's subscription and other technical issues:
• Only some (but not all) Library subscribed publications would have PDFs downloaded via EndNote’s “Find Full Text”.
• The ability to retrieve PDFs from “Find Full Text” could be varied among different databases.. It is really depending on the compatibility of individual content providers. As stated on a Clarivate’s EndNote FAQ, “Find Full Text” feature is not compatible with EBSCO, JSTOR, Wiley and ScienceDirect. To learn more about the compatibility issues of different databases, please refer to EndNote’s official websites for the latest information.
• By using “Find Full Text”, users may initiate prohibited, excessive or systematic downloads which may result in a university-wide suspension to affected databases.. Therefore, do use this function with care and only download the full text of the article you intend to read.
To use the Find Full Text function, you need to first change a few settings in your EndNote, with the steps below:

*NOTE: The ability to retrieve full text from find full-text function may vary, depending on the compatibility of individual content providers. According to Clarivate’s EndNote FAQ, it has been noted that some providers such as EBSCO, JSTOR, OpenAthns, Wiley, and ScienceDirect do not support this feature. Due to security features implemented by these providers, EndNote is not able to download and attach the PDF automatically, however, it may be able to add a URL to the library reference. If so, this link may bring you to a page where you can download the PDF manually to attach to your library.
