EndNote  

The citation management software EndNote helps you organize and format references in an easy way. It consists of the software program EndNote with which you collect and organize all your references that you have either imported from different databases or constructed yourself by templates included here. Then there is also the Microsoft Word add-in feature called Cite While You Write (CWYW) which lets you easily insert citations in the text and add references to your bibliography from within any Word document. You can choose among thousands of so-called output styles, such as the well-known APA, Oxford, and Vancouver styles, but also journal-specific styles.

In this guide you can follow the numbers 01 to 12 on the EndNote tab for a short overview of the different aspects of the software for a quick start, or just pick a specific section that you are interested in. For each section I will also refer to specific sections in the main, very comprehensive, EndNote user's guide:
