INTRODUCTION
EndNote Web is a web-based tool that helps you to work with your citations. It streamlines your work by citing references and creating a bibliography in a designated style with just one click. This means you spend your time writing, NOT citing, the paper.
(Although it is helpful addition to any writing project, EndNote Web does not proofread your paper. That is your responsibility.)
With this tool, you can:
~ gatherup to 10,000 referencesusing any computer (on-campus, off-campus, personal computer)
~ create a personalized database of articles, book titles, websites, etc.
~ easily import citations from resources into your database.
~ add in-text citations to your paper in a variety of styles. (i.e. AMA, APA 6th, NLM)
~automatically generate a bibliography in a variety of styles.
