Features
EndNote is an internationally widely used reference management program that offers several features that enable you to search literature, manage references, and cite correctly in the desired style. EndNote has an English-language interface and runs on both Windows and macOS. The locally installed EndNote program is complemented by a web version, which enables location-independent work and collaboration.
In addition to the local installation, the reference management program offers a web version. Set up your own EndNote web account, therefore.
Reference Management and Knowledge Organization
- Organizing and managing references
- Integrating citation in text processing programs
- Creating reference lists in over 6000 citation styles
- Searching in library catalogs and databases
- Importing titles from library catalogs and databases
- Synchronizing between EndNote Desktop and EndNote Web
- Working in teams
Tips & Tricks
You can further customize your own EndNote installation to meet your needs:
- Connection files: Search in additional catalogs and databases, e.g., Connection file to search Gateway Bayern.
- Import filters: Import bibliographical references from additional catalogs and databases.
- Output Styles: More citation styles can be downloaded that exceed the installation settings.
- Updates: They are not installed automatically. Please note that you must first uninstall EndNote before installing a newer version.
Find Full Texts
Two variants of full‑text search can be integrated into EndNote:
- General full-text search: After installation, add the OpenURL path http://sfx.bib-bvb.de/sfx_tum under “Edit” → “Preferences” → “Find Full Text”.
- Search for full texts licensed by TUM: After installation, add the OpenURL path https://tum-eaccess.de/login under “Edit” → “Preferences” → “Find Full Text” → „Authenticate with:“.
- If you now choose “Find full text,” you will go to the eAccess page of TUM, where you log in with your TUM ID. Please note that you might not find all available full texts, and that the search will take noticeably longer.
