EndNote

EndNote is available as:

• a desktop software application, for which UCL has an institutional licence. The current version is EndNote 21.
• a web-based application called EndNote Web or EndNote Online, which may be accessed by anyone from any device with internet access. Access to the full version of EndNote Web is included in UCL's EndNote licence.
• a free iPad app. There is no app available for Android or other mobile operating systems.

You can use them independently, or synchronise them so you can work with your EndNote references from any device: your own computer, on the Web or on your iPad.  The Web and iPad versions do not have all the functionality of EndNote Desktop.

In EndNote 21, you can open and use libraries created in EndNote 20, and vice versa. If you use EndNote 20 to open an EndNote 21 library that includes 'Tags', you will not see the Tags because the Tags feature was introduced with version 21.

Clarivate introduced a new database engine from EndNote X9.3 onwards, so EndNote libraries created in versions X9.3, 20 or 21 are not backwardly compatible with older versions of EndNote. When you use EndNote X9.3, 20 or 21 to open a library that was created in an earlier version, you will be prompted to create a new converted library.
