New in EndNote 21
EndNote 21 is here!
The best reference management tool is getting even better. The all new EndNote 21 and EndNote Web help you manage and format citations like never before with bold new features.
With EndNote 21 you stay organized using features like tags that enhance productivity. You can enjoy peace of mind with data restoration functions that protect your work and improve your writing workflow with integrated document creation tools for Google Docs.

Experience a new, exclusive EndNote web interface
With EndNote you can access your research anytime, anywhere from the cloud. Move seamlessly between online and desktop and iPad applications. Say hello to the brand new EndNote Web, available only to EndNote 21 customers for three years from the activation date. Securely sync your entire library including PDFs, notes, and annotations across all your devices.

Cite While You Write in Google Docs
Our Cite While You Write (CWYW) tool, makes it easy to insert your EndNote references in a Microsoft Word or Apple Pages document. CWYW automatically creates in-text citations and reference lists and easily changes the format of your in-text citations and reference lists. With EndNote 21 we are expanding CWYW to be compatible with Google Docs, making it easier to write your next paper and to collaborate on documents with colleagues.

Stay organized with tags
Tags are customizable labels that let you organize your references however you’d like. You can add tags to references and customize the colour and name of the tags. You can add multiple tags to a reference and anyone who you share your library with can view a tag, making tags a great way to quickly and intuitively organize your references.

Protect your work with data restoration function
Auch wenn mal etwas schiefgeht, kann EndNote 21 Ihre Library aus der Cloud wiederherstellen. Einzelne Referenzen können Sie mit den früheren Versionen Ihrer Referenzen vergleichen und wiederherstellen.
