"EndNote"

5/5

What do you like best about EndNote?

EndNote makes my literature reviews so much easier by organizing information efficiently and effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EndNote?

There is nothing that I have come across thus far in my use of EndNote that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering EndNote:

If you have worked with a library database, this is similar in a sense, so hopefully it will prove almost intuitive. It is really helpful when it comes to organizing sources that you are gathering to write a literature review, or a full blown research report, paper, or project. You can organize in any way that makes sense to you, and then look up your sources in meaningful ways. You are also able to store citations, and their corresponding in text citations for ease of use. It makes the writing process so much easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EndNote solving and how is that benefiting you?

At a research university, there is a need for faculty to research to develop the university and the matters of study. That being said, they also have to balance course loads (at least at our institution), unless their courses are bought out for research purposes. Often, faculty are serving the universities and their disciplines in other ways, too. That being said, they are busy people and can benefit from a software that organizes their work.

"Great way to organize citations"

5/5

What do you like best about EndNote?

I like that EndNote organizes citations and will format them according the publication format of your choice. It is easy to update with new citations and very compatible with Microsoft Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EndNote?

Running the program does take up a lot of memory. If you are editing EndNote citations in a Microsoft document that is using "Track Changes" this often leads to a glitch in the program. I've worked around this by turning off "Track Changes" before updating EndNote citations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for organising references, but not for inserting and editing citations in a document"

1.5/5

What do you like best about EndNote?

The ability to organise and search your references Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EndNote?

The word add-in of endnote is, at least with word 2016 on mac, to say the least a painful experience. Working with longer documents with many references, the endnote word-citations tool takes forever to insert and format citations, it will try to replace all parentheses in the text with references (meaning you could all of a sudden have references at random places in your text), and editing a single reference runs the risk of making a mess of the entire list of references. Furthermore, Endnote is not good at keeping up with office updates, meaning that it doesn't work with the latest version of Word (2016, version 16.xx) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering EndNote:

I do not recommend endnote as a citation software, there are other programs that are better at this, but for organising references, endnote is satisfying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EndNote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Endnote provide a great way to organise and search your references, including pdf files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"EndNote user as medical student"

3.5/5

What do you like best about EndNote?

EndNote puts together multiple data pieces in one area - having 20 different articles all lined up makes my life easier in terms of organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EndNote?

EndNote often crashed on 2013 Mac. Unfortunately, there is another issue when I am viewing articles - sometimes it automatically jumps to the second page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering EndNote:

Just be sure that the model if fully in sync with your computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EndNote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to search all the annotations rapidly has streamlined some of our research process. I have realized the benefit of being able to also globally search databases for research articles, which is huge in verifying different data points, or finding related articles.

"the reference software you need"

5/5

What do you like best about EndNote?

Endnote was a software I used for a short period of time in it's early stages. When I came back to pursue my Ph.D. this software has helped organize all of my reading for classes helping plan my comprehensive exam and helping me to prep for my dissertation. A must have for any academic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EndNote?

Some of the useful tools don't feel intuitive. Like I know can back up my library but where that goes and who has access to that or how to retrieve it is unclear to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering EndNote:

I got mine through my school for about $20. Prior it was free through my schools library. For students and faculty connected to an institution this will be much more affordable. I have no idea what the non dis count cost would be like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EndNote solving and how is that benefiting you?

This helps me to manage all of the research projects I am juggling at one time as I prepare for my career as an academic and scholar Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"EndNote, 20+ yrs old & the most user friendly & function filled ref mgmt tool is just the best!"

5/5

What do you like best about EndNote?

Easy importing references, labeling them & grouping them, journal citations from our offsite & inside the firewall collections. Especially the ability to search INSIDE PDFs once downloaded!! Customizable fields, output styles, SUPPORT Desk!! Trainers, Doug Nguyen!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EndNote?

I dislike that some full text cites (PDFs from OUR collection) do not successfully import, due IMO from extra clicks, other publisher formatting issues, etc. Often a lengthy unintelligible URL is the cause, as well. Adding these by hand is often very time consuming. It is the fault of the publishers that this happens, not EndNote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering EndNote:

EndNote brings enormous efficiency to the searching and writing research papers process for VA researchers, for librarians it offers enormous efficiency for effectively downloading citations, de-duplicating them, adding full text, and then fine tuning the search results by searching in-depth amongst the cites AND the full text content. Amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EndNote solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're a federal agency, but we use it for tracking clinician/researcher professional output, presentations, etc. AND, we can customize it for all sorts of types of information, historical objects, etc. Our users love EndNote! For clinicians, they use it when writing articles, reviews, and researchers use it for grant applications, tracking paper publications, etc. We use it for creating customized literature updates for various clinical departments/fellows/residents.
