EndNote Basic (Free Online)

EndNote and EndNote Online

JHU affiliates can get a web version of EndNote through our Web of Science subscription.
Library home page --> Databases --> web of science. Then choose "EndNote," at the very top of the page:

EndNote is a reference management solution with both a desktop and online component. When used on the desktop, it may be called “EndNote desktop” or “EndNote on the desktop.” When used online, it may be called “EndNote online.” EndNote X8 & X9 users can synchronize all the references in one desktop library to their online library, and share the entire library with other EndNote X8 or X9 users. Their online library can contain an unlimited number of references and unlimited attachments.

You will be asked to register, if you haven't already. Here is the Quick Start guide.

Please be aware that the web version of EndNote is more limited than regular EndNote.

Academic departments who want EndNote can go to the JHU portal at my.jhu.edu --> Technology --> My Software --> click the catalog link, and search for endnote

EndNote Basic

EndNote basic is a more limited reference management solution that is only available online. EndNote basic users can create an online library with a maximum of 50,000 references and up to 2GB of attachments.

There are two versions of EndNote basic.

  • The free version of EndNote basic has 21 styles and a limited number of filters and connection files. This version is available to anybody, with no other purchase required.
  • The version of EndNote basic available as part of the Web of Science has thousands of styles and hundreds of filters and connection files. This version is accessible by those whose institution has a subscription to the Web of Science.

For more information, see the EndNote Online Guide from Clarivate.

This online class, linked above, demonstrates EndNote Online.
