EndNote

In addition, many databases allow you to export your selected citations into a fee-based bibliography creation system, such as EndNote, RefWorks, ProCite, etc.

ODU has a license that pays for student and faculty use of the EndNote and EndNote Web products.

EndNote is a powerful tool for acquiring, organizing and managing citations. With EndNote, users may acquire citations in various ways:

  • Enter the citation manually
  • Search a library catalog directly through EndNote
  • Search a library database and export citations directly into EndNote
  • Search a library database and save citations to import in EndNote with filters

You may then organize your references, images and PDFs and create bibliographies and figure lists. “Cite While You Write” is a feature that allows you to incorporate references from your EndNote library directly into a Word document as in-text citations and as footnotes or references.
