EndNote is a research management tool that allows you to import, organize and store the citations you find using research databases and library catalogs, and integrates with Word to format citations and bibliographies. It is available in both desktop and web-based versions.
The full version of EndNote, called EndNote Desktop, is a desktop-based software package, compatible with both Macs and PCs, with unlimited storage for references and attachments, the ability to view and annotate full-text PDFs in-program, and to share and collaborate with others. It can be used in conjunction with the online version to access your references from any computer. The EndNote Cite-While-You-Write plugin, available for Microsoft Word and Apple Pages, can be downloaded to help you format citations and bibliographies for your scholarly writing.
EndNote Desktop is fee-based, and can be purchased through the OSU TechHub. Get started with EndNote Desktop:
