Overall Satisfaction with EndNote

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.
  • Citation management
  • Indexing tracking
  • Graphic organization
  • Abstract retrieval
  • Ease of generating tables of content
  • Interaction with other reference management software (e.g. Mendeley)
  • Ease of integrating new reference style files
  • Saves a minimum of 10 hours of author rework and review of citations per publication
  • Decreased editor labor budget by ~20%
  • Ease of introduction of new primary authors for scholarly publications
Although Mendeley has comparable functionality, the two applications are not compatible, and it is harder to import non-formatted citations into Mendeley. However, Mendeley does offer superior analytics compared to EndNote. I continue to use EndNote due to a history of successful use of EndNote and the widespread use of the app by my peers.

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.
