EndNote Online

EndNote Online is a cloud-based reference management product, in other words an online store for all your references. 

With EndNote Online, you can:

• Store in a single location, the reference details for all of your information sources (books, journals, websites, reports, videos...);
• Organise the references into custom groups (e.g. keep all the sources for an assignment together, even when using the same source in different assignments); 
• Share your groups with others (useful for group assignments); 
• Automatically generate a reference list as you add citations to your text in MS Word, or, if preferred, quickly add a fully formatted reference list to your document.

If you are unsure that EndNote Online is the best resource for your references, please see our Reference Management guide for alternative options.

To get the most benefit from EndNote Online though, we recommend that you also download:

• Cite While Your Write plugin - to link your EndNote library with MS Word. [Note: if you are also using EndNote20/21, this plugin will already be installed on your device].
  • Select 'Format' from the EndNote Online menu bar, choose the plugin then follow the prompts.
• EndNote Click - easily collate PDFs (if appropriately tagged) and seamlessly import them into your EndNote library.
• EndNote app IF you're using an i-pad or i-phone.

• EndNote Online is a good introductory reference manager with in-built guidance. It's on the cloud so versatile if you're using multiple devices.
• EndNote20/21 offers greater functionality - worth exploring for those at higher levels of study. 
• If using both - activate the 'Sync' function to link your libraries and keep your EndNote20/21 account up-to-date.
