EndNote

Guide to using EndNote reference management software

EndNote versions

EndNote is available as:

  • a desktop software application, for which UCL has an institutional licence. The current version is EndNote 21.
  • 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.

Windows and Mac operating systems

Windows

EndNote Desktop can be used on computers that run on either the operating system Windows 10 or Windows 11, with either a x86-bit or x64-bit processor. 

Apple Mac

EndNote Desktop can also be used on Apple Mac computers - both Intel-based and Apple Silicon-based Macs. Macs manufactured from late 2020 onwards have Apple Silicon-based processors in them. Older Macs, pre-late 2020, were manufactured with Intel-based processors. The type of processor you have may affect how EndNote functions on your Mac.

Mac OS 14 (also known as Sonoma) is the latest version of the OS operating system. EndNote 21 is the latest version of the software. It is compatible with Mac OS Sonoma. EndNote 20 and earlier were not designed for Sonoma and so Clarivate suggest that users upgrade to EndNote 21.

Cite While You Write (CWYW)

The Cite While You Write (CWYW) add-in requires the use of either of the following versions of Word: 2016, 2019, 2021 or Office365. This applies to Word running on both Windows and Mac computers.
