EndNote  

The most current version of EndNote is:

EndNote X5

EndNote X-what?

Every so often, EndNote releases new versions of the software.  They named version 10 "EndNote X" making version 11 "EndNote X1" and so on.  These new versions generally improve upon earlier versions, fix common bugs, add a few new features.  The new versions are not "updates" or "patches" - to keep up to date, you must purchase the newest version (much like when you purchase the newest Windows or Mac OS.)

For the most part, EndNote 8 and later are compatible.  However, if you or a colleague are using EndNote 7 or earlier, you may run into some trouble.  Go here to learn about how to troubleshoot this.

What is EndNote?

Briefly, EndNote is a software program that helps you organize your research.

Whether you're a student, researcher or professor, EndNote is an extremely valuable tool when doing research and composing papers. The program stores your references, figures and PDFs all in one place on your computer, which makes retrieving these items easy.
