What is EndNote Online

EndNote Online can be used to collect and manage references from any computer. Your EndNote Online library can also be synced with the Desktop version on multiple computers, and with the EndNote iPad app.

  • References can be shared with other EndNote Online users, including PDF files you have attached to those records.
  • EndNote Online is equipped with a limited number of referencing (output) styles, and you cannot edit output styles, filters or connection files.

EndNote Online is free, however current UC staff and students have access to additional features ​by connecting EndNote Online with EndNote Desktop or Web of Science.
