EndNote is a bibliographic software provided to you for free from the Library. It can:

• Record and manage the details of journals and books you have found in your research;
• Store and manage PDF copies of articles you download, or link to them in the journal databases; and
• Allow you to annotate and add notes to PDFs.

Go to the EndNote Guide for more information about how to download and use EndNote.

ENDNOTE

EndNote is software that can be of great help with any type of review. See our EndNote Guide for detailed instructions on how to download this tool and use it to organise your literature, store your PDF files and generate lists of references.

EndNote is particularly useful for systematic reviews as (among other things) it enables you to:

• Import references from databases, including Primo search
• Sort your references into Groups for each database searched - for example you could use a different group for each database searched, and a different group for excluded articles after initial screening.
• Add the pdf to citations once the abstracts have been initially included. 
• Check for duplicate records
• Share your library with your colleagues

You may also consider inserting the inclusion and exclusion criteria checklist into a notes field in each EndNote record.

For help with EndNote,contact one of the Library Faculty Teams or attend one of our online workshops.

NVIVO

NVivo can be used with EndNote to can help you identify articles, key findings and influential authors when conducting a literature review. NVivo can import PDF files and bibliographic information from EndNote. You can organise, code or tag literature, to help you keep track of themes, critical quotes and ideas.

See our EndNote and NVivo for Literature Review Library Resource Guide for detailed information about using NVivo with EndNote. We also run online workshops on this from time to time, so check our calendar for upcoming sessions.
