It’s The End…Note
Thursday, January 24th, 2008This is NOT a sponsored post.
Just finished with an EndNote workshop…
EndNote centers around a high school student who decides to rid the world of evil with the help of a supernatural notebook that puts an end to anyone whose name is written in it.
EndNote is a commercial reference management software package, used to manage bibliographies and references when writing essays and articles. Among the features are automatic styling of references (very useful for engineering students with a multitude of possible citation styles to follow, e.g. IEEE, ASME, AMS, etc.), and automatic numbering of references. The latter means that if I had numbered references from 1-80, and decide to add a reference before number 1, I don’t have to renumber everything all over again.
Other features include direct importing of references directly from databases commonly used to obtain journal papers such as Science Direct and IEEE Xplore. This means no more fiddling with PDF-format journal articles to figure out who the authors are, when it is published, which journal it is published to, etc.
This is going to be super useful for my FYP.
It’s too bad that I only discovered it now, otherwise my research would have been much easier to manage.
