EndNote

EndNote is a reference management application that helps you save time by collecting bibliographic information in one place, making it easier to cite material and format citations. 

EndNote has a desktop application with full functionality and a web-based application that has more limited functionality. You can use an EndNote account to sync between the two apps to back up your library. 

Key features

  • Collect references from a range of databases and library catalogues.
  • Insert and format in-text citations and reference lists in Microsoft Word and Google Docs
  • Automatically build your bibliography using the library of 7,000+ output styles or your own customised style.
  • Search hundreds of online resources for references and PDFs.
  • Create rules to automatically organise references as you collect and write.
  • Keep your data accurate with automatic reference and link updating.
  • Sync your desktop library with an EndNote account to backup your library and access on other devices
