EndNote is a commercial reference management software package for managing bibliographies and references when writing essays, articles and thesis.
As a current student or member of staff, you can get EndNote for your personal computer free of charge, but you must remove the software when you leave the University.
We recommend you create an EndNote online account and sync it with your desktop library. This gives you unlimited storage and access to University of Essex styles. Your online account also acts as a backup. See how to create and EndNote online account (.pdf)
Add the Capture Reference tool to your web browser to easily create references from other websites.
We run regular training sessions for students on how to use EndNote to manage your references. To book a place, search ‘EndNote’ on the Career Hub or find further learning resources on the EndNote Moodle page.
