Citing While Writing Using APA

What is EndNote?

EndNote is a program that can help you manage citations for your research projects. It can automate much of the work of organizing and formatting citations and bibliographies in your writing. EndNote can connect to online sources such as GIL and article databases, output results in over 1,000 different bibliographic styles.

There are two versions of EndNote, a standalone desktop version and a web based-version called EndNote Web. Once you have created your EndNote Web account, you can sync your libraries so a change in one will automatically be reflected in the other. See the EndNote Web tab for additional information on how to set up that account. 

Georgia State University has a license for EndNote which allows students, faculty and staff to download a copy for free.
