EndNote

Reference Management Program

Download EndNote

EndNote is available free of charge to Emory students, faculty and staff. Download the software from Emory's Software Express site (Emory network ID required). After you login, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the Agree button agreeing not to distribute or share the installer with others. Once you click on the Agree button, you will be able to download the installer.  If you are being asked for a product key, you most likely did not click on the Agree button and have gone to the commercial site instead of Emory's download site.

NOTE: Once you download EndNote, always check to see if there are program updates!
