EndNote for Researchers

University of Bradford Library

What is EndNote?

• Reference management system
  • One searchable database of all your references
  • Adds references to your document with citations
  • Controls format (or style) of references
  • Article management system
  • Allows you to store full text (pdfs) or find it (where available)
  • pdfs are linked to searchable descriptions of the articles
  • Allows you to annotate pdfs with searchable research notes
  • Allows you to create groups (eg for chapters) and share them with colleagues, and to automate allocation of articles to groups

A quick reminder: when do you add a

citation (and a reference)?

• When you have quoted someone
• When you refer to someone’s work
• When you use a table, image, data etc from someone else’s work
• If in doubt, cite!
