EndNote 20

A guide that explains the EndNote 20 bibliographic software program including downloading, creating and managing a library, and using EndNote with Word.

Clarivate Analytics

What is EndNote?

EndNote is a personal reference database program that can help you to:

  • maintain a personal library of references
  • download references from journal databases and Google Scholar
  • insert references into word-processed documents
  • generate a bibliography in the correct style for publication.
 

Who can download EndNote 20 at UNE?

EndNote 20 is available to all UNE staff and enrolled students.

If you are only including a few references in your assignment, for example between 1-15, you might find it easier to concentrate on knowing your referencing style rather than using EndNote.


If you are a student doing your PhD, Masters, Honours, or you are an Academic or a research assistant, EndNote is an ideal program for referencing your work and keeping all your research together in one place.

While EndNote sounds like the end of all your referencing problems, it may not be, depending on your circumstances. You need to learn the EndNote program thoroughly, and this takes time, practice and patience. To see if EndNote will suit your needs, please  speak to one of our librarians.

Cloud warning

Cloud.UNE tool for storing research dataEndNote libraries will become corrupt if used within cloud based storage systems such as Cloud.UNE, Dropbox, Google Drive, and SharePoint and even network locations. 

In addition, do not save your EndNote Library to any location on the computer being synced to cloud storage either (e.g. iCloud, OneDrive).

We do not recommend opening or using Endnote files from within these environments. Only open Endnote files saved to a hard disk. Use cloud services for storing compressed (.enlx) backups of your library only.
