Brief overview of functions:

Information on various types of literature (books, articles, lectures, term papers and theses (Doktorarbeit/Dissertation) etc.) can be collected, managed and saved. For example, a thematically sorted bibliography can be compiled via the allocation of key terms.

EndNote can be linked to Apple Pages or Microsoft Word. This means that references can be added to the text within a document, which can then be automatically combined to form a bibliography.

EndNote supports literature searches by enabling online access to academic literature databases (e.g. PubMed, CINAHL, DIMDI, z39.50).

EndNote can generate bibliographies from created files. Various formats are available for this purpose.

With version X8, it is possible to share a (single) EndNote database with up to 100 people. The data is synchronised via EndNote's central cloud service and all participants have full write access.

The file extension is .ENL (=EndNote literature database).
