EndNote Reviews 216

Essential software! I use it on all of my papers.

Product could be better. However and note corporate is not willing to listen to customer comments.

In recent versions of EndNote, I've encountered three glitches that need fixing.
First, when I click "Find Reference Updates", I can Update All Fields and Update Empty Fields, but I can no longer Edit Reference. I can't copy & paste from the online information, and I can't type into my version of the reference.
Second, and related, I used to be able to delete a section in my version of the reference and then hit "Update Empty Fields" and continue editing, but now the program closes the whole window.
Third, if I'm searching for a reference, I used to be able to type in, say, an author's name, then hit the tab button to get to the next search field. Now, however, the tab button takes me out of the search windows and into the list of references, which is inconvenient.
Thanks.

The product has been part of my daily life for almost 30 years. Customer support I've used only a couple of times and always outstanding.

Love the new look and interface. I have not used all the features yet but love what I see so far.

Very good and easy to use.

It got an immediate answer to a burning question, which will save me hours of work. Thank you!

Thanks for fixing the problem with Cite-While-You-Write and Word 2016!

We still cannot get Endnote to function easily= to implant into the citing articles I write in Word in the requested format and font type and size

It’s good but I have drop box that opens anytime I open a word document.

Very good! I was guided step by step and clearly guided to a solution. Most helpful IT experience I have ever encountered.

The interface is old and clunky—-and the importing of citations from the online database are just riddled with errors. End note has a tough time with Chicago and online citations—-treats internet like it is 1997. Please please please have a real researcher show you whats wrong.

The interface is as clunky online as it is in the desktop app. Also, when it's so easy to just plug a DOI into a website and pull an article, or find similar articles using multiple free sources (e.g., research rabbit, elicit, google scholar) I do not find it worthwhile to use endnote for these purposes.

EndNote has been an outstanding bibliography software for me. I have been able to search and incorporate appropriate references as I am writing. Also, a lot of the original articles are readily available (PDF files). The learning curve of using EndNote has not been that steep, and it has made my writing experience almost effortless.

This is overall an excellent product. It really works.
However, some items that are used frequently are difficult to find in the menus. For example, unformatting citations is done often and it should be located up front as a large button that is easy to find. You seem to focus on correcting elements of the program that are rarely used and do not attend to usual operations challenges.
