EndNote

Reference management software available to associates of Atrium Baptist Wake Forest University

What is EndNote?

EndNote 21 is now Available!!!

EndNote is a software program for PC or MAC that works with word processor documents (Microsoft Word, Apache OpenOffice, LibreOffice, or Google Docs), to automatically format in-text citations and end-of-paper bibliography lists for your manuscripts with your chosen style (APA, NIH, Vancouver, etc).  

EndNote can also be used as a personal database to gather and store citation records from a variety of information sources. Once developed, libraries can be synchronized between multiple computers, making it easy to collaborate with colleagues.

New to version 21:

  • EndNote 21 can recover your library from the EndNote Cloud and get you back where you belong.
  • The single reference restoration feature introduces the ability to compare and restore previous versions of individual references to correct any accidental mishaps
  • Customizable tags let you organize your references with labels.
  • And CWYW is now available in Google Docs™ via Google Workspace Marketplace.
