Doing great, slightly not user friendly though.

Recent upgrades were excellent. I had noticed a few setbacks that were corrected. For example, when I typed in a name and book and then went online to search, I had to type again. That was fixed. This saves me a lot of time. There are other features that I have not used yet. But I usually use the online search for adding sources. If I had a complaint, it would be the style sheets. If they could be more accurate, that would be nice. SBL style sheet is not up to speed. I appreciate the sheer number of these things being available, however. But when they are inaccurate, I have to go in and fix them myself. That is time consuming. But I love this product and have been using it for 25 years.

I really like to use EndNote. It's really easy when you work with it. But EndNote should have some different offers for researchers at affordable prices.

It would be nice if existing users of the product were queried prior to revisions of the product to see whether the inclusion or removal of a feature is desired. For instance, on older versions of the program, there was a thumbnail of attachments for any particular entry. This made it easy to see the quality of the attachment or whether there were multiple versions of the attachment tied to a particular entry. Another issue is the timeliness of corrections made during program updates. For example, I was one of the first people to download v21 of the program and immediately noted that you were no longer able to paste into the search window using mouse commands as was the case in prior versions (Cntl-V still works.) I immediately reported the issue to technical support. The update to version 21 was just released and the problem still exists. This should have been a straightforward fix, yet it was ignored.

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

It can be clunky and frustrating sometimes but it works.

EndNote is easy to use! Very helpful in organizing my research.

With EndNote, I no longer need to carry printed papers with me anywhere anymore: all is there in the my personal library: authors, dates, summaries and full texts. Attaching an old paper to a reference in the library is a breeze. And creating groups, add papers to them are all the features that make it easy the retrieval of needed information at any time, online or offline. The flexibility of switching from one bibliography style to another is alone a reason for having EndNote as a tool in the toolbox for any technical writer. Online search from public databases using keywords, downloading the free papers, and ranging them in designated groups are straightforward and very helpful. EndNote has become an indispensable tool for me and for my work for more than 30 years.
