EndNote
open-in-new
<p>EndNote is a commercial <a href="/facts/Reference_management_software/SxmxEWcQ">reference management software</a> package, used to manage <a href="/facts/Bibliography/xul38mej">bibliographies</a> and <a href="/facts/Citation/V9cIWxl8">references</a> when writing essays, reports and articles. EndNote was written by Richard Niles, and ownership changed hands several times since it was launched in 1989 by Niles & Associates: in 2000 it was acquired by Institute for Scientific Information’s ResearchSoft Division, part of Thomson Corporation, and in 2016 by <a href="/facts/Clarivate/jqbJ2Vxl">Clarivate</a> (then named Clarivate Analytics). EndNote's main competitors are <a href="/facts/Mendeley/RMXvpEV8">Mendeley</a> and <a href="/facts/Zotero/aGQ9tnEA">Zotero</a>, but unlike them, EndNote is neither free-to-use nor offers a <a href="/facts/Freemium/ofbqmWgu">freemium</a> model. </p>
