Citing, referencing and reference management: EndNote

What is EndNote?

EndNote is Queen's University's supported bibliographic management solution.

Using EndNote you can:

  • build a personal database of references imported from catalogues, research databases and other sources
  • organise references into groups
  • manage large volumes of references required for systematic reviews
  • share references with other Endnote users
  • cite references when writing a paper using the Cite While You Write (CWYW) add-in for MS Word and other word processing software
  • automatically format your paper and bibliography

EndNote has both a desktop and an online component. You can install the desktop application on up to three personal laptops or PCs and sync it with the online version. Further information and links to user guides are available below.

Please note: EndNote libraries should never be stored in cloud-syncing folders such as iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, SugarSync, etc., as syncing folders corrupt EndNote libraries over time.

If you would like training or advice on how to use EndNote please contact your subject librarian.
