Long-Time researcher I have been using EndNote since 1995. It was an inherently important part of my doctoral research. The ability to create multiple libraries was important. The ability to change format styles is very important as I present and publish papers in different venues. There as more features in EndNotes that I do not use, but I have not had the time to really did deep into the latest version.

The solidity of use The solidity of use! EN gives me confidence in my notes and references. Especially, that they will be where I can find them. EN is a vital part of my research. Here is an item on my wishlist: that typing in a new reference with a name and part of a title would generate websearch results and a list of citation choices. Other, programs offer that convenience but are not integrated as well into WORD, etc.

This software has been fantastic help… This software has been fantastic help in updating my 1000 page textbook. However I found a minor glitch in 2021 version whereby i cannot directly copy and past DOIs as in 2020 version and instead copy then use two key to paste. It has been especially useful in using Google search then locating a reference then directly downloading the “cite” function. I highly recommend it for anyone in academics

Handy software, but three glitches need fixing In recent versions of EndNote, I've encountered three glitches that need fixing. First, when I click "Find Reference Updates", I can Update All Fields and Update Empty Fields, but I can no longer Edit Reference. I can't copy & paste from the online information, and I can't type into my version of the reference. Second, and related, I used to be able to delete a section in my version of the reference and then hit "Update Empty Fields" and continue editing, but now the program closes the whole window. Third, if I'm searching for a reference, I used to be able to type in, say, an author's name, then hit the tab button to get to the next search field. Now, however, the tab button takes me out of the search windows and into the list of references, which is inconvenient. Thanks.

EndNote use in doctoral studies I am a doctoral student, and EndNote does everything I need to do as a reference manager. I use APA 7, and EndNote handles the citations and reference entries well. I find attaching a pdf copy of the article a useful feature.
