EndNote Online

EndNote Online (previously called EndNote Web or EndNote Basic) is a web-based research and writing tool and a complement to the desktop-based EndNote. Add, transfer or import your references to EndNote Online and access your account via any web browser.

EndNote Online is an option for when access to the EndNote desktop version is not available or you need to collaborate with others who do not have access to EndNote desktop.

EndNote Online is a free, but limited version of EndNote, and can be used independently of the desktop version. Create an online account to search, save, and use citations. You can also organize the references you find into folders and share folders with other EndNote Basic users.

Use Cite While You Write from EndNote Online to format your in-text citations and bibliography. You will need to have Administrator rights to your computer to download the Cite While You Write add-in to Microsoft Word in order to use this feature.
