EndNote - English

Manage your bibliographic references with EndNote.

EndNote allows you to :

• improve bibliographic references by adding keywords and reading notes
• locate references more efficiently
• produce bibliographies according to a specific bibliographic style
• share references from the EndNote library
• annotate documents in PDF format
• insert references in a text document (Microsoft Word, Pages, OpenOffice)

If you are familiar with EndNote 20, here are the main differences with this new version: 

• Use tags to identify your libraries 
• Use colors to better distinguish your libraries and groups;
• Optimized EndNote Web interface 
• EndNote is now compatible with Google Doc ;
• Restore your library or deleted or damaged references

Please note:

You should remove previous versions from your computer before installing the new EndNote 21 version.
