EndNote helps with productivity
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I write scholarly publications and reports for federal clients, and EndNote provides streamlined and efficient citation management services for me and my collaborators. The product makes organization of the large numbers of scientific citations easier and saves us time and labor in fixing citations every time we edit a manuscript draft. A secondary use of the software is tracking internal team publications for corporate performance metrics.
Pros
- Citation management
- Indexing tracking
- Graphic organization
- Abstract retrieval
Cons
- Ease of generating tables of content
- Interaction with other reference management software (e.g. Mendeley)
- Ease of integrating new reference style files
Likelihood to Recommend
EndNote does a great job of working with scientific references and preparing citations for peer-reviewed publications. The tool is also great for generating and placing graphics in scholarly publications. However, in a situation where the reference style does not follow traditional journals or standard formats, or where citation of websites and/or government documents is needed, the program experiences challenges due to the difficulty of generating your own styles.
