EndNote reference management software

EndNote is a leading reference management software package used by scholars, researchers, and students to manage bibliographies and references when writing essays and articles. Originally developed by Niles & Associates in 1988, the software has become an industry standard for academia. The development team is primarily based in the United States, though digital distribution occurs globally.

Over the decades, the brand has transitioned through several major corporate owners. Following its inception, it was acquired by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), which later became part of Thomson Scientific and subsequently Thomson Reuters. In 2016, Thomson Reuters spun off its IP & Science business into an independent entity, which is now Clarivate. Clarivate remains the ultimate owner and developer of the software, maintaining its position as a global leader in providing trusted insights and analytics to accelerate the pace of innovation.
