EndNote is a citation management software developed by Clarivate and site-licensed through Drexel University IT. With EndNote you can...
You have several options: EndNote Desktop OR EndNote Online OR BOTH!
If you have never used a citation management solution before, Drexel Libraries recommends using EndNote Online to get started.
Users prepared to install the EndNote desktop software will enjoy addtional features of the desktop software, such as automatic downloading of full-text and more collaborative options.
