Publishing Guide: Citation Management Software

EndNote is a software program (with a supplemental web-based version) that users must install on their computers. UR River Campus Libraries provides a site license that allows University of Rochester employees (including faculty) and students to DOWNLOAD EndNote SOFTWARE on work or personal computers at no charge. Your UR affiliation entitles you to download EndNote on as many computers as you wish - your office, your laptop, etc. - for easy access to your work. Both Mac and Windows versions are available. An active URMC AD required to download the software. 

Miner Library, in partnership with the UR River Campus Libraries and Information Technology Services, provides a University-wide subscription to RefWorks. Because RefWorks is web-based, it has unique features:

• Each user creates an individual RefWorks account/personal database to protect data integrity.
• You can access your personal database from any computer connected to the Internet either on campus or off site.
• RefWorks is available at no charge for all UR users. You do not need to purchase any software.
• RefWorks is never out of date. Upgrades are automatic, so you always have access to the most recent version.
• RefWorks is compatible with both PCs and Macs.
• The RefShare module allows you to share references with both UR and non-UR collaborators.
