EndNote support


EndNote helps you to store and manage your references. It also works with Microsoft Word to automatically insert citations and create your reference list (or bibliography) for you.

You can format your citations and reference list using your preferred referencing style. EndNote has thousands of output styles pre-installed, including the Leeds University Harvard, Numeric and MHRA styles which are based on the Library referencing guidance.


Getting started

EndNote is available on University cluster PCs and accessible to students off-campus via Desktop Anywhere. Personal copies of the software (for PC or Mac) can be purchased by staff and students from Adept Scientific.

Alternatives to EndNote

EndNote is the only referencing-management software supported by ISS and the Library. However, there are others available - or you can keep a manual record.

  • BibTeX (for use with LaTeX documents)
  • Mendeley (free open-source tool available for desktop or web)
  • Zotero (free open-source tool available as an extension for the Firefox browser).
