EndNote



// **__Descriptions__** //EndNote, a bibliographic management software for both Macs and [|Microsoft Windows], allows users, usually researchers, clinicians, librarians, and students (Mani, 2007), to easily create libraries to better organize their references, images, and portable document format files (PDF) in any language (EndNote). With the reference in the library, the software can be used to insert citations into a document using the Cite While You Write function and create a bibliography using one of EndNote’s over 3,700 citation styles (EndNote). Users can search library catalogs from EndNote or export citations from a library catalog into their EndNote library. In some instances, it is possible to use EndNote to directly search article databases for citations. One of the most popular features of EndNote is exporting journal citations from an article database such as PubMed or Academic Search Premier, into an EndNote library. Other features include, but are not limited to, document templates for different citation styles, the ability to collaborate with colleagues by sharing a library or using EndNote Web, or even running the software on a network to share libraries. EndNote’s [|Technical Support & Services] page provides information on its compatibility with the various operating systems and word processing software. The differences between the Mac version and the Windows version are very minimal. The price for the software varies depending on where the software is purchased. Follow this link to view the prices if purchased direclty from Thomson Reuters. Institutions can also purchase a site liscence. The University of Hawaii at Manoa has done this. If you are a UH Manoa student, faculty or staff member, please click here to find out more information about purchasing EndNote for $25.

//__**History**__// In the early 1990s, Niles & Associates, Inc. originally created EndNote for Windows and then Macintosh. In 1999, they sold the EndNote software to the Institute for Scientific Information, or ISI (Rogers, 1992). EndNote has undergone thirteen editions and on June 17, 2009 ISI/Thomson Reuters released EndNote X3, the 13th edition for Windows, followed by the Mac version on August 26, 2009 (EndNote).

__//**Impact on Teaching and Learning** //__ EndNote is quickly becoming a new way to teach citation styles, which are often times complicated and difficult to understand. The one downside to this is that EndNote is not always 100% accurate, so it cannot serve as a substitution for having a citation manual. Using EndNote not only saves time while writing (Mani, 2007), but it improves the management of references and using those references in citations (Harrison, Summerton, & Peters, 2005), which enables professor to spend less time revising citations on their student’s papers. This is leading to an increasing amount of professors and department at universities requiring that students purchase and use EndNote for compiling citations and writing papers. In order for students to properly learn to use the software, many university libraries are offering workshops to students and even faculty on the different functions of EndNote.

//__**Practical Applications**__//

The EndNote software is mostly meant for use in higher education. Researchers, professors, and students generally use it for organizing their references and then writing journal articles and papers. EndNote is useful for them because it contains many of the journal citation styles. Students, especially graduate and doctoral students, make use of the software for their thesis and dissertation to make the paper organization less cumbersome. With EndNote, collaboration with colleagues is also much easier because EndNote is easily sharable (Mani, 2007).
