Software download Endnote Web

EndNote Web is a Web-based bibliographic service for students and researchers that organises personal reference collections and saves time retyping references for course work and publication.

Although Endnote has a facility for connecting to bibliographic databases, this route is not recommended. The connection details can change, and full search functionality is not available. Access to bibliographic databases should always be via the University Library's Electronic Services web page.

References can be downloaded into Endnote from within.

With EndNote Web you can:

  • Import references from hundreds of online bibliographic databases and organize a library of references in any language with Unicode
  • Store up to 10,000 references per EndNote Web account
  • Edit references, add notes, keywords, modify any field
  • Use over 2,300 publishing styles to format in-text citations and bibliographies
  • Cite While You Write" in Microsoft Word (requires plug-in) to insert references and format papers instantly
  • Format papers in other word processors using RTF (rich text format) files
  • Easily transfer references to and from EndNote X (export/import to previous versions)
  • Simplify collaboration with colleagues - share EndNote Web folders
  • Use EndNote Web toolbars in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla® to access your reference library in one click, and capture citation data easily (requires plug-in)

Desktop EndNote users will find EndNote Web a great way to collaborate, maximizing the expertise each researcher brings to a project. Using EndNote Web, researchers can share specific folders with designated colleagues or students. A shared folder can be viewed by others with an EndNote Web account. EndNote Web on the desktop remains the powerhouse favored by researchers who publish frequently, write citation-intensive works and require the performance available only from a desktop tool.

The addition of EndNote Web helps undergraduate students organize their references for citing in papers. EndNote Web users can select EndNote X or EndNote Web, for citing references in a paper. Cite While You Write works the same whether you are citing references from your desktop or Web library.

For the professional researcher and graduate student who depend on EndNote and other desktop writing tools, EndNote Web is the perfect complement for storing references. Now the millions of EndNote users who demand a robust desktop writing tool with a higher degree of accessibility and control can be even more productive using the combination of EndNote X and EndNote Web.
