EndNote 21 is here!

The best reference management tool is getting even better. The all new EndNote 21 and EndNote Web help you manage and format citations like never before with bold new features.

With EndNote 21 you stay organized using features like tags that enhance productivity. You can enjoy peace of mind with data restoration functions that protect your work and improve your writing workflow with integrated document creation tools for Google Docs.

Protect your work with data restoration function

Take a deep breath. If the unthinkable happens, EndNote 21 can recover your library from the cloud and get you back where you belong. In EndNote 21, you can restore your library and library structure with our new data restoration function, ensuring your research is not lost. With single reference restoration you can also compare and restore previous versions of individual references.

Stay Organised with Tags

Tags are customizable labels that let you organize your references however you’d like. You can add tags to references and customize the color and name of the tags. You can add multiple tags to a reference and anyone who you share your library with can view a tag, making tags a great way to quickly and intuitively organize your references.

Network compatibility and system requirements

EndNote libraries can be accessed on a network – including networks with Macintosh and Windows workstations. Multiple users on a network can access an EndNote library simultaneously in read-only mode. This allows users to search for references, cite them in their papers and create bibliographies. EndNote does not allow multiple users on a network to edit a single library at the same time.

On Windows networks, EndNote can be deployed with MSI installer technology using scripting or via Group Policy. If you have technical questions regarding the use of EndNote on a network, contact Support.

EndNote Cross-Platform Compatibility

What you need:

• EndNote libraries are cross-platform compatible. Following the EndNote end user license agreement, this means:
• Individuals who purchase a single user license can install EndNote on up to three computers for their personal use.
• Sharing a license with other users is not allowed under the individual license agreement.
• Those computers can be any combination of Mac and Windows machines.
• By creating or logging into an EndNote online account (under preferences > Sync), that individual can sync their library across all three computers, as well as access it through EndNote online and the iPad app.
