EndNote is one of many bibliographic reference managers on the market today. It is fairly easy to use with many of the online databases available to the UCSC community. EndNote is a great tool for academic research and publishing. Using Endnote, citations can be stored, searched and quickly inserted into research papers in the format of many scholarly journals. Endnote makes identifying and formatting citations for publications a breeze.
