EndNote 20 - Perpetual License

EndNote is Clarivate's reference manager: it keeps references and PDFs in a personal library and turns them into formatted citations and bibliographies as you write. It is aimed at students, PhD candidates, researchers, physicians and anyone who writes papers, theses or reports with many sources and needs to keep them in order across projects. The purchase is a license for the desktop application: you activate it with the product key, optionally link it to an EndNote online account for cloud sync and use the Cite While You Write plugin in your word processor.

This product is a perpetual license key for EndNote 20: it does not expire and can be used on Windows; the number of PCs is not stated by the supplier. The key is delivered by email together with the activation instructions.

A typical workflow starts with a search in PubMed or Web of Science from inside EndNote, or with an export from Google Scholar; the references land in the library with their PDFs, are grouped by project and inserted into the manuscript with a click, and the bibliography is rebuilt in the chosen journal style every time a citation is added or moved.

Key Features:

• Cite While You Write: The plugin for Microsoft Word inserts in-text citations and builds the bibliography as you type; support for other word processors depends on the EndNote version and platform.
• Thousands of output styles: More than 7,000 bibliographic styles are included (APA, MLA, Chicago, Vancouver, Harvard and journal-specific formats) and the style editor lets you adapt any of them.
• Import and online search: Search PubMed, Web of Science and hundreds of library catalogues from inside the app, or import records exported from Google Scholar, Scopus and publisher websites in RIS, BibTeX and other formats.
• PDF management: Find Full Text retrieves the article PDF for references you already have; imported PDFs are attached to their reference, searchable and can be highlighted and annotated in the built-in reader.
• Groups and smart groups: Organise the library by project with groups and with smart groups that fill themselves according to your rules; duplicate detection keeps the library clean.
• Sync and library sharing: An EndNote online account syncs the whole library, PDFs and groups included, between your computers and the web version, and lets you share the library or single groups with colleagues.
