We are changing to EndNote 2025 

You may have noticed we now have access to EndNote 2025, the newest version of the reference management tool supported by the University. This update won’t change too much about how EndNote looks and works, but will bring a couple of highly useful new features to explore.  

•  AI-powered "Key Takeaways" feature 

A new feature which utilises generative AI to extract the main points from any articles added to EndNote, summarising the individual papers. These concise summaries will be useful for researchers in determining the usefulness of a paper for the intended purposes. 

• Cite directly from PDF files 

This feature allows users to highlight a section within a PDF they have added to EndNote, and have it inserted into their Word document with a seamless click. This will help ensure quotes are correctly cited, and makes for a streamlined process. 

• AI-powered "Find a Journal" feature 

A feature for using EndNote with Word Online, this uses AI to analyse key components of papers, and makes suggestions of further papers to explore and help with researcher discovery. By entering a papers title and abstract the tool will produce a curated list of journals identified as most relevant to the users work.
