EndNote

EndNote provides a desktop‑based reference manager for macOS that stores bibliographic data, formats citations, and generates reference lists for research documents. It includes tools for organizing libraries, searching across collections, and exporting citations in a wide range of style templates. The 2025 release adds an AI‑powered Research Assistant that can answer questions about a paper, translate its content, and assist with summarizing findings through natural language interaction.

The software is aimed at individual scholars, students, and professional researchers who need to manage large numbers of sources while writing academic or technical papers. It also offers multi‑user and site licenses for departments, labs, or institutions, allowing shared access to a central library and cloud storage for up to three years.

EndNote integrates with a web interface and iOS applications, enabling users to work from different devices while keeping their library synchronized. Built‑in quality‑control features help maintain citation accuracy, and 24/7 support and training are provided for both personal and institutional users.
