EndNote is a popular academic literature management software that helps users create, manage, and cite references and insert them into Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Writer.
This manual provides step‑by‑step instructions for using EndNote X4, covering everything from initial setup and library creation to advanced features such as Smart Groups and EndNote Web integration. It includes detailed guidance on importing references, searching online databases, and customizing citation styles.
Additional chapters describe how to work with Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.org Writer, use the Cite While You Write tools, and manage PDFs and DOI data directly within the program. Contact information for Thomson Reuters support is also provided.
