EndNote is a reference management programme widely used by AUT staff and students.
It is designed to
- Store and organise references
- Import references from article databases and catalogues
- Instantly generate bibliographies in different referencing styles
- Sync with Word to insert in-text citations and full references directly into assignments
- Support collaboration by making it easy to share references
You still need to know how to reference
- You need a working knowledge of APA (or Chicago/Turabian for Art & Design) to enter references manually or to correct imported references which often have minor errors
- Some references require non-intuitive choices of EndNote Reference type and / or fields within that Reference type to produce APA-compliant citations. Check the APA 7th & EndNote or the APA 6th & EndNote section of this guide if you are having trouble
- For detailed instructions on referencing generally check our APA 7th Referencing Style Guide, or APA 6th Referencing Style Guide or our Chicago/Turabian Referencing Guide

What’s New in EndNote X9?
1. EndNote X9 gives you greater ease and control in coordinating with your colleagues. After you synced your desktop and online libraries:
- you can share your complete library with either read-write or read-only access rights;
- you can share custom groups in your library with other EndNote online users from your desktop library;
- you can view a list of the groups shared with you through EndNote online from your desktop library and use them as shortcuts to EndNote online.
2. EndNote X9 provides new references types – citing social and other electronic media will be easier with your new reference types.
3. EndNote X9 has increased integration with Web of Science:
- you can access Web of Science source or related records, or create a citation report, from your EndNote library.
- you can create a Web of Science citation report for a group of references from your EndNote library.
4. You can use manuscript matcher to find journals that might be interested in publishing your work from your EndNote library or from a Word document.
