Millions of authors, researchers, students and librarians use EndNote to search online bibliographic databases, organise their references and images, and create instant bibliographies. EndNote not only simplifies more of your research, writing and manuscript preparation needs, but also gives you the power to create new types of bibliographies. EndNote saves you hours of time locating the literature references you need. No more laborious typing and formatting of bibliographies, or maintaining old-fashioned card indexes of your references – EndNote does it all automatically!
Whether you’re writing an essay or a dissertation, a research paper or a book, a technical proposal or a CV, you’ll find EndNote is the essential add-on to your word processor. EndNote makes it easy to connect to Internet-based libraries of reference data (there are many free-access databases in addition to those that your organisation or institution subscribes to) and locate exactly the references you need to cite in your work. EndNote makes it easy to store, catalogue and index these references in your own custom reference databases, together with images, figures, files and links that you want to include or cite. And EndNote integrates into your word processor to make it easy to insert citations and create bibliographies and figure lists, with every entry automatically and consistently formatted in the style you, or your publishers, prefer.

Organise references, images, PDFs and other files
- Create an unlimited number of libraries of any size: In EndNote,
bibliographic data is entered into a record by filling out a simple
template that has the proper fields displayed for a given type of reference.
There are 46 customisable reference types, covering a variety of materials
from Ancient Texts to Web Pages, each with up to 52 fields for entering
references and linking to PDF and image files. And you can organise
references in any Unicode-supported language. - Group references: Create
custom groups, including smart groups that update automatically as
references are added to a library, for instant access to subsets of
references. And you can create groups containing both custom and smart
groups for easier organisation. These main and sub-groups can be re-arranged
at any time with a simple drag-and-drop action. - Find full text articles automatically: EndNote will locate and download
full text for you—no additional steps required! Select one or
more references, a group, or your entire library and have EndNote scan
for full text available to you. When the full text is found, EndNote
downloads and links it to the appropriate reference automatically- while
you continue with your work. - Store PDF and other files with your EndNote
library: Organise up to 45 files per reference in the “File Attachment” field.
Drag and drop files onto a reference for auto-linking and storage with
the library references – links never break. - Organise image files: Track images including charts, figures and equations with a caption,
keywords and more. - Customise the reference library display: Click-sort column headings,
adjust column widths and choose up to 8 fields to display. - Preview
formatted references: Using the Preview pane in the library window,
you can preview selected references in over 2,800 bibliographic styles. - Includes
hundreds of import filters: There are many sources of bibliographic
data that can be used to help you build your EndNote library of references.
EndNote includes hundreds of import filters for a variety of online database
providers (e.g. Ovid, EBSCO). You can create and modify import filters
as well. Once you’ve downloaded the references in a tagged format,
choose the appropriate import filter to import the data into your EndNote
library. - Link your EndNote records to the Web: Link your references
to full-text articles or other material on the Web. You’ll find links
created automatically when you connect and search online resources
within EndNote. - Use Term Lists for consistent data entry: Term Lists
store glossaries of keywords, author names, or any other terms that
are important to managing your references. As you enter new terms,
EndNote suggests terms from these lists to facilitate data entry and
to ensure terms are entered consistently. Pre-defined Journal Term
Lists are provided for biomedicine, chemistry, and the humanities – complete
with common abbreviations of journal names used in bibliographies. - Searching: Use Quick Search in the toolbar to search all fields in
an EndNote library, or the Search… command for additional options.
You can limit your searches to specific fields such as Author name,
Year, or Keywords and select a variety of operators. - Global Editing: Use the Change Text, Change Field, and Move Field commands to modify
existing references. These commands can automatically add a term to
all or some of your references. These are useful tools for labeling
groups of references as well as for fixing common typos or spelling
mistakes. - Sorting: Set up multi-level sorts on up to five fields of your choice
such as Year, Journal and Title. Each level can be sorted in ascending
or descending order. Column headings in the reference library window
provide instant sorts on the displayed fields. - Customise Settings: The settings for customising your EndNote library
display, bibliographic preferences and other options are organised
in one easy-to-access Preferences panel. - Running EndNote on a Network: Use EndNote on a network and share
libraries across mixed platforms.
