Reference management

Referencing correctly is necessary to avoid plagiarism and is an important part of academic writing. Reference management software such as EndNote is a tool for collecting, storing and managing bibliographic references, and incorporating them into academic writing using different referencing styles.

The Library recommends EndNote Web for new users. It is web-based and currently available without charge to all members of the University of Sheffield.

We also support EndNote on the CiCS Managed Desktop for those with more advanced requirements (the version currently installed is EndNote X5).

The latest version of EndNote (for Windows or Mac) can be purchased from CiCS for use on your personal computer.

For support specific to particular versions of EndNote or EndNote Web, search the EndNote YouTube training channel or EndNote technical support pages.
