EndNote

This is an introduction to getting started with EndNote for UT Health users.

What is EndNote?

EndNote is a commercial bibliographic management software package. It is intended to find, share, store, and create references. Users build and manage their personal research libraries.                     

You can attach PDFs, notes, and images to your citations, organize them into collections for different projects, and create bibliographies.

EndNote may not appear to load the first time you open it, if so:

  • Look to your menu bar at the top left of your screen for the File menu (as shown above).

  • If you do not see the EndNote File menu, double check that EndNote is open by clicking the EndNote icon on the dock then look for the File menu again.

  • If EndNote is not in your dock then you will need to open EndNote from Launchpad or the Applications folder.
