For over two decades, EndNote has been the trusted partner of researchers, scientists, and academics globally. We build the tools that turn complex data into groundbreaking discoveries.
Research is the engine of human progress, but the administrative burden of managing citations, formatting bibliographies, and organizing PDFs often slows that engine down.
At EndNote, our mission is simple: Remove the friction from research. We believe that brilliant minds should spend their time thinking, analyzing, and discovering—not wrestling with reference formatting.
By integrating advanced AI, cloud synchronization, and industry-leading Cite While You Write technology, we empower researchers to focus on what truly matters: pushing the boundaries of human knowledge.
In academia, accuracy isn't optional. We obsess over the details of citation formatting and data integrity so that you never have to worry about a rejected manuscript due to reference errors.
From early desktop software to the new AI-powered EndNote 2025 Research Assistant, we are constantly evolving our tools to stay ahead of the rapidly changing landscape of scientific publishing.
Modern research is highly collaborative. We build tools that break down geographical barriers, allowing teams across the world to securely share libraries, annotate PDFs, and write together in real-time.
