EndNote Online has similar, but more restricted, functionality to the desktop version of EndNote.
Why use EndNote Online?
- It is web-based, so it can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection;
- You can sync with your desktop library;
- It allows collaborative sharing of libraries;
- It can contain an unlimited number of references and attachments.
It does not allow you to:
- Use term lists for journal abbreviations;
- Edit or add styles, filters and connections (specific University of Adelaide styles such as Harvard UofA are not available);
- Preview the citation for a record in a chosen style.
The version of EndNote Online you have access to as a University of Adelaide student or staff member is a premium account; there is also a freely accessible basic account (EndNote Basic).
