Product Overview: EndNote Click (formerly Kopernio)
Introduction
EndNote Click, formerly known as Kopernio, is a powerful browser extension designed to streamline the process of accessing and managing scholarly journal articles. Developed by Clarivate, this tool integrates seamlessly with various reference management software, particularly EndNote, to enhance the research experience.
Key Features and Functionality
Access to Journal Articles
EndNote Click provides one-click access to PDFs of scholarly journal articles from legally authorized sources, including institutional subscriptions, open access repositories, and other document archives. It works by adding a button to the lower-left corner of the screen when browsing article pages, linking directly to available PDF files.
Integration with Reference Management Tools
The extension allows users to send references and associated PDFs directly to reference management tools such as EndNote Desktop, EndNote Online, Mendeley, and Zotero. Users can export references as RIS files or push them directly to their online libraries, ensuring that the PDFs are attached to the respective references.
Institutional Subscription Access
EndNote Click leverages institutional subscriptions to provide access to articles both on and off campus. It uses IP authentication on campus and the institution’s authentication infrastructure off campus, ensuring seamless access to subscribed content across over 20,000 academic platforms.
Storage and Organization
The extension includes a storage area known as the “EndNote Click Locker,” where users can store articles. The free version offers 100 MB of storage, while referring friends can upgrade to EndNote Click Premium, providing 2 GB of storage and the option to mirror the locker with a Dropbox account.
User-Friendly Interface
To use EndNote Click, users simply need to install the browser extension, available for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera (with Chrome extension required for Opera). After installation, users are prompted to create an EndNote Click account or log in with an existing Clarivate account. The extension then integrates with the user’s workflow, displaying a pop-up icon when a PDF is available.
Additional Benefits
- Streamlined Access: Reduces time spent searching for articles by providing direct links to PDFs within existing workflows.
- Compliance and Analytics: Ensures usage is COUNTER compliant, giving libraries visibility into which resources are being used.
- Alternative Access: If a subscribed or open access PDF is not available, users can use institutional services like Delivery to request the article.
In summary, EndNote Click is a versatile and user-friendly tool that simplifies the process of accessing and managing scholarly articles, integrating well with popular reference management software and leveraging institutional subscriptions to enhance research efficiency.
