Ever since, I have used many referencing applications during my research at university. Still, I found the Endnote to be one of the profound applications that has numerous benefits over other conventional apps. It manages the references effectively with the additional capability of the attachment of the PDF docs. It offers the ability to edit the pre-made library or to make a new library at a time. Furthermore, it is helpful to build and effectively manage any kind of project. I would recommend it to writers, scientists, and students to enjoy this resource for effective research project management or development. In short, I found it very helpful in integration with Microsoft Word, Excel, and other Word Processors; mostly, the integration process is easy and automatically added to the secondary software.

EndNote: as the name indicates "stop noting manually" make yourself go on easier with ready to use tool for referencing and citations. Furthermore, Endnote is merely not bound into only referencing but it also provides us an online account, which saves our projects and enables us to access our work easily from anywhere. Besides, quoting the ready references from Scholar.google.com it is also provided with editing the reference according to the need of a journal/ publisher. The best peculiarity, which is most fascinated to me is the attachment of certain Paper/article/PDF to the specific reference, so that which is then easily accessible for the desired action.

We already know that Referencing & Bibliography (Such as APA, Vancouver, Chicago & many others) is a challenging matter when demanded from specific platforms of academia, officially, especially when we have to cite without software. I started using Endnote X5 in 2015 and am now using the EndNote X9 version, which is still working fine. This is citation software that makes referencing easier than quoting a reference manually. The following are the best features I perceived in EndNote (EN). 1- Searching reference: It provides an online library to search the specific reference and place it in a document where it is needed. Additionally, the easiest supported way by Googleschollars to download a reference that EN supports, the downloaded file directly shows up in EN after its execution. 2- Integration with Microsoft Word: Endnote can easily be integrated with MS Word; inside the tool, the add-on of EN performs various actions; such change of reference style option can be availed to change the reference style instantly within the whole document (e.g., APA to Chicago), converting the bibliography to plain text, and this integrated add-on can take us directly to software (EN) if a change is required within the reference. 3- Customized referencing: Certain platforms support their style; EN supports such situations by providing the edit option, new reference, or importing style. Which makes it easier to alter according to the demand. 4- Attaching PDF file: Within the EN, we can attach a PDF (Academic or any document from where the reference has been taken) which is very helpful for taking us directly to the concern instead of browsing and searching the specific work repeatedly. 5- Library backup: Every of our reference lists can be saved in a specific format (EN Library) which can be later imported, shared, and saved. Furthermore, many more features benefit students, researchers, and scholars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about EndNote? Sincerely, I have never experienced any downsides since using this software for a very long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is EndNote solving and how is that benefiting you? I have used EndNote during my Graduation and Masters for citation of referencing & Biblio. I have also used to publish my academic and research papers. My favorite feature is integrating with MS Word, downloading references from G-scholars, and citing through EN after importing the downloaded file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Student Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/2/2023 "Reference Organization Made Simple" 4.5/5 What do you like best about EndNote? EndNote simplifies what can oftentimes be an arduous and tedious process. While certainly it is \*possible\* to manually organize the dozens upon dozens of references in a single manuscript, EndNote automates the process and saves a world of headache. In particular, reference numbers tend to be altered, flipped, and mixed around when going through the editing and manuscript review process. Instead of painstakingly going through and one by one changing these superscripts and references, EndNote does this entirely automatically. It is challenging to imagine undergoing this process without EndNote. At the end of the day, this software saves users time, allowing them to spend more thought power on what they are writing instead of what they are referencing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about EndNote? While EndNote offers numerous benefits, in the beginning the software itself is somewhat challenging to learn. It isn't that the user interface is unclear -- quite the opposite -- it just is not the most intuitive and requires a bit of trial and error before achieving a place of comfort with the software. However, once this level of expertise is achieved, the time save grows exponentially. Users should think of this as an initial time investment -- yes, it will take a bit of extra time in the beginning, perhaps even above and beyond that of simply organizing the references manually, but after several uses, the saved time becomes immeasurable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is EndNote solving and how is that benefiting you? As above, EndNote solves the problem of reference organization. It is technically possible to perform this type of organization by hand, but why subject oneself to such an arduous process when there exists a readily available software that is capable of performing these functions at a level nearly unachievable by humans? In short, EndNote solves a problem that every single author has experienced prior to its introduction and ends the nightmare of reference organization once and for all.

I like the capability of Endnote of making available a number of output styles from hundreds of journals. In addition, all the references can be synced among different users or computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about EndNote? I do not like the steps needed to integrate this software with the Microsoft Word. The process is chaotic and there is almost no public/easy accessible information in this regard. It takes a lot of time to go to the website and download supplementary files to be installed. When the process is finished there are crahes. My view is from a Mac user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is EndNote solving and how is that benefiting you? Endnote makes the process of inserting and updating output styles among different journal publications very faster and more accurate. We can share a bibliography that can edited by other teammates.
