Overview

EndNote X9 is a bibliographic referencing tool which can help you store and organise references such as journal articles, documents and website links. This resource can save you time when writing a research paper or article in Microsoft Word by allowing you to track citations and create a bibliography at the click of a button.

 

The features of using Endnote for bibliographic management include:

  • import references from databases such as Medline and ClinicalKey directly into your EndNote library

  • “cite while you write” when writing a paper and format bibliographies in different referencing styles
  • collaborate with others by compressing your Library and emailing your references, track changes made by team members and choose team member access levels 
  • store references online for remote access
  • search for full texts and attach them to your references
  • create and search your own personal database of references in an EndNote library or Libraries
