What is EndNote Online?

EndNote Online, also called EndNote Basic, is a Web-based service designed to help students and researchers through the process of writing a research paper.  

Provides a way for you to... 

  • Quickly and easily collect reference information from a wide variety of online data sources such as PubMed and Web of Science via direct export, online search, or importing text files.
  • Store up to 50,000 references in your own password-protected library, accessible anywhere that you have internet access.
  • Share references with other EndNote users to simplify collaboration. 
  • Cite While You Write™ (CWYW) in Microsoft Word to insert references and format papers instantly.
