Where can I get EndNote for free?

Setting up an EndNote Online Account

(Note that this is the procedure for creating an Endnote Online account if you have bought the full software package. To create a free Endnote Basic account through UNC's Web of Science subscription, see the previous page of this guide).

Open your EndNote library.  Click on the Sync Library button 

• Do NOT already have an EndNote Online account: Click the Sign Up button to open the User Registration dialog box.  Enter the required information and click the I Agree button to complete the registration process.  
• Do already have an EndNote Online account: Enter the email address and password for your EndNote Online account.  Click OK.

Syncing a Desktop Library with Endnote Online

1. Click on the Sync Library button
   in the toolbar of the desktop version of Endnote.  The Sync process synchronizes both sets of references (those in your desktop library and those in your Online account), including file attachments.

Note: We recommend that you set aside one Endnote library file that will be your "sync file," and only sync references from that file with Endnote Online. Keep in mind that if you sync a desktop file with Endnote Online, all of the references you already have saved in your Endnote Online account will appear in your desktop file.

The procedure of researching for content places a demand on high level or organization. You will have to save images and texts and also take note of the references so that you can make the right attributions to various authors. This application is all you need to put your manuscript together while researching for content.

Research in a smarter way

The program is more like a library catalog where you can search, add, remove and edit entries. It has a powerful search function that can help the user locate the right document by simply searching for the keyword. The users who want to search manually can access various documents that are grouped in various sections and categories.

Teamwork

It is great for complex projects where many people are involved. You can create a team for each project, manage the access and track changes. Although the application interface does not have impressive visuals, it makes up its lack of luster interface with its powerful features. It is an indispensable tool for researchers.

It is part from other tools category and is licensed as shareware for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit platform and can be used as a free trial until the trial period will end. The EndNote demo is available to all software users as a free download with potential restrictions compared with the full version.
