Bibliographic Tools and Styles: EndNote

What is EndNote?

What is EndNote?
EndNote is a reference management software that allows you to:
  • Organize all your reference materials in a searchable personal library.
  • Use the EndNote sync command to synchronize your references in up to three personal computers, your EndNote web library, and an IPad or IPhone.  (You must own and be a user on all three computers)
  • Share a designated synced library with up to 400 co-authors and colleagues.
  • Easily cite your references and create formatted citations, bibliographies, or independent reference lists.

Why use a web-based research management system like EndNote Online?


EndNote Online (also known as EndNote Web) is a web-based service designed to help students and researchers through the process of writing a research paper. Students can organize their references for citing in papers. Professional researchers and graduate students can use EndNote Online as the perfect complement to EndNote and other desktop writing tools, as well as storing references between ISI Web of Knowledge search sessions.
Create a free EndNote Online account (off-campus users will also be prompted for their eRaider).

 

Important Information for Mac Users

As you may be aware, Apple has released macOS Catalina. Apple has made the decision to drop all 32-bit application support with this release, which will impact EndNote. 

EndNote 20 is compatible with Catalina. Check for EndNote 20 updates here.

If you are running EndNote X8 or earlier, we recommend upgrading to the latest version available (EndNote 20) as based on early information from Apple, your current version will not work with macOS Catalina. Alternately, you may keep working on your current macOS version.
