EndNote for PC

EndNote is a reference management programme widely used by AUT staff and students.

It is designed to

• Store and organise references
• Import references from article databases and catalogues
• Instantly generate bibliographies in different referencing styles
• Sync with Word to insert in-text citations and full references directly into assignments
• Support collaboration by making it easy to share references

You still need to know how to reference 

• You need a working knowledge of APA (or Chicago/Turabian for Art & Design) to enter references manually or to correct imported references which often have minor errors 
• Some references require non-intuitive choices of EndNote Reference type and / or fields within that Reference type to produce APA-compliant citations. Check the APA 7th & EndNote or the APA 6th & EndNote section of this guide if you are having trouble 
• For detailed instructions on referencing generally check our APA 7th Referencing Style Guide, APA 6th Referencing Style Guide or the Chicago/Turabian Referencing page

1. EndNote X9 gives you greater ease and control in coordinating with your colleagues. After you synced your desktop and online libraries:

• you can share your complete library with either read-write or read-only access rights;
• you can share custom groups in your library with other EndNote online users from your desktop library;
• you can view a list of the groups shared with you through EndNote online from your desktop library and use them as shortcuts to EndNote online.

2. EndNote X9 provides new references types - citing social and other electronic media will be easier with your new reference types.

3. EndNote X9 has increased integration with Web of Science:

• you can access Web of Science source or related records, or create a citation report, from your EndNote library.
• you can create a Web of Science citation report for a group of references from your EndNote library.
