EndNote: Welcome

Using EndNote is a way for you to collect, manage and organize citations, called references in EndNote, for all the articles, books and other sources you find. You can use it to create reference lists, called groups, and do in-text citations - a great way to save time during your research process.

EndNote is a powerful citation manager that offers a wider range of features with the sole purpose of organizing and improving your research. In addition to the more common features, EndNote allows users to create multiple libraries, organize references into groups, access and share a library with up to 100 people, automatically find full text articles, and insert citations and references from an EndNote library into a Microsoft Word document, while building a bibliography. 

This guide will walk you through setting up an account and the primary functions of EndNote, while providing you access to additional resources.

EndNote is available in three formats:

• EndNote desktop version (available for Macs and Windows). The current version is EndNote 20
• EndNote basic - web version
• EndNote iPad - app version

Each format has its benefits depending on your research needs and preferences. EndNote is capable of syncing across your desktop/laptop, iPad, and online, but there are a few things to consider.
