What do you like best about EndNote?
We already know that Referencing & Bibliography (Such as APA, Vancouver, Chicago & many others) is a challenging matter when demanded from specific platforms of academia, officially, especially when we have to cite without software.
I started using Endnote X5 in 2015 and am now using the EndNote X9 version, which is still working fine. This is citation software that makes referencing easier than quoting a reference manually. The following are the best features I perceived in EndNote (EN).
1- Searching reference: It provides an online library to search the specific reference and place it in a document where it is needed. Additionally, the easiest supported way by Googleschollars to download a reference that EN supports, the downloaded file directly shows up in EN after its execution.
2- Integration with Microsoft Word: Endnote can easily be integrated with MS Word; inside the tool, the add-on of EN performs various actions; such change of reference style option can be availed to change the reference style instantly within the whole document (e.g., APA to Chicago), converting the bibliography to plain text, and this integrated add-on can take us directly to software (EN) if a change is required within the reference.
3- Customized referencing: Certain platforms support their style; EN supports such situations by providing the edit option, new reference, or importing style. Which makes it easier to alter according to the demand.
4- Attaching PDF file: Within the EN, we can attach a PDF (Academic or any document from where the reference has been taken) which is very helpful for taking us directly to the concern instead of browsing and searching the specific work repeatedly.
5- Library backup: Every of our reference lists can be saved in a specific format (EN Library) which can be later imported, shared, and saved.
Furthermore, many more features benefit students, researchers, and scholars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
