While Clemson Libraries has subscriptions to both RefWorks and EndNote, there are other, freely available citation managers that our patrons use, including Zotero and Mendeley.
To learn more about these citation managers, go to https://libraries.clemson.edu/research/citation-management/.
As of Fall 2024, Clemson now has a site-wide subscription to EndNote, which you can learn more about at:
https://clemson.libguides.com/endnote
EndNote is a reference and citation management software used to manage bibliographies and references when writing essays and articles. With EndNote you can:
Format references in various citation styles
Attach PDFs to references
Export references from databases
Insert citations and compile bibliographies in Microsoft Word and Google Docs
EndNote 21, the latest version of the product, is available for all Clemson faculty, staff, and students to use at no additional cost. The site license also includes access to the upgraded EndNote Web.
Installing EndNote
If you have previously used a paid or trial version of EndNote, it must be uninstalled first. It’s recommended that you sync your library with EndNote Online before a new installation.
After EndNote 21 is installed, you can upgrade EndNote Online to EndNote Web. New users should activate their EndNote Web account to enable syncing of reference libraries.
Windows
Unzip both files to a folder before opening the installer.
Mac
Clemson maintains a site-wide subscription to RefWorks, which you can learn more about at:
https://clemson.libguides.com/newrefworks
RefWorks is entirely web-based, so no installation is necessary. Just go to https://refworks.proquest.com/, click Create Account, and use your Clemson email address to create an account and get started.
RefWorks allows you to collect, manage and organize research papers and documents. You can read, annotate, organize, and cite your research as well as collaborate with friends and colleagues by sharing collections.
From simple bibliographies to papers formatted with in-text citations or footnotes, RefWorks handles it all.
