EndNote

EndNote is the University of Bristol's recommended bibliographical management software.

Which version of EndNote should I use?

  • Academics and research postgraduates can use EndNote Desktop: this can be installed on your University PC.

Differences between EndNote Basic and the Desktop version

See a comparison of EndNote Basic and EndNote Desktop (ignore the information on Reference Manager).

Please note: EndNote Basic references are saved on a remote server in the USA. There may be privacy implications because US government agencies are permitted to access your data at any time, without notice.
