Keep Research Sources Organized

EndNote 21 provides a structured place for storing journal articles, books, conference materials, reports, websites, and other research sources. Customizable tags allow users to label references by subject, methodology, relevance, project stage, or any other criteria that suit their workflow. Multiple tags can be assigned to a single reference, making large libraries easier to navigate.

Create Citations and Bibliographies While Writing

The Cite While You Write tools connect EndNote 21 with supported writing applications, including Microsoft Word. Users can search their library, insert in-text citations, and generate a bibliography directly within a document. Citation and bibliography formatting can be changed without manually editing every entry, helping papers remain consistent with the required academic style.

Find and Work with Full-Text PDFs

EndNote 21 can search online resources for references and attempt to locate available full-text documents. PDFs can be attached to individual records, viewed within the application, searched, and annotated with notes or highlights. This keeps source information and reading materials together throughout the research process.

Protect and Restore Research Libraries

Data restoration tools provide additional protection for important research. EndNote 21 can recover a lost or damaged synchronized library from cloud data while preserving its organization. Users can also compare previous versions of individual references and restore an earlier version when information has been changed or removed accidentally.

Access and Share Research from Different Locations

EndNote Web gives EndNote 21 users browser-based access to synchronized research materials when they are away from the desktop application. References, attachments, notes, and annotations can be synchronized across supported devices. Library-sharing tools also help research teams exchange sources, coordinate reviews, and work with shared collections.
