I’m doing this guide mostly for my own students and research assistants, though I do share it with the world. I also don’t have the time to do a Zotero vs Mendeley vs Endnote vs Refworks vs Citavi vs God-Knows-The-Name-of-Other-Citation-Managers. I do pay for more Mendeley storage, so I don’t use the free version, but I think the features I will describe here are the most relevant ones too. I now regret having tied my life to this reference manager because I have struggled to find another one that works as well as Endnote used to work.Ī lot of people have recommended Zotero(which I have tried and didn’t love because I found the interface clunky, but I absolutely admire because it is open source and a labour of love, so I do recommend it to other researchers) but I settled for Mendeley, which is the software most of my coauthors use too. I wrote my PhD dissertation using Endnote, as well as many, many papers. I taught courses to my fellow graduate students on how to use Endnote. Not only did I discover it, I actually bought a copy at the student price and became absolutely dependent on it. Note that there are no guarantees with regard to the privacy of these tools, since most of them also have online functionality, and using any online features will affect the privacy of your data.When I was in graduate school, I discovered Endnote. However, the following tools can be downloaded to your computer and used offline exclusively: SFU Library has been unable to identify any citation management products that store data exclusively on Canadian servers. If you are concerned that your personal information is stored outside Canada, do not use these services. This act allows US authorities to access your personal information. One important point to note: most of the popular citation management products store your data on non-Canadian servers, which means your account information may be subject to US laws, specifically the US Patriot Act. You can also consult this Wikipedia article that compares citation management tools. Not sure which citation management tool is right for you? We recommend Zotero, but you don't have to take our word for it-check out MIT Library's Zotero and Mendeley comparison chart for more information. To import an Endnote library into Zotero, follow these directions. ![]() You can use an Endnote connection file to search SFU Library's book catalogue, and configure the Endnote OpenURL setting to easily locate the SFU Library's full-text links.EndNote 20 is available for a fee and comes with advanced features, like importing citations from PDFs and annotating PDFs. ![]() EndNote Basic is a free web-based service used to store references and create bibliographies, and it offers up to 2GB of storage.Please note: access to SFU RefWorks has been discontinued as of December 31, 2017, and is no longer supported. Use of Zotero is free with up to 300MB of storage, which is enough for most users. You can add more storage by using ZotFile or purchasing additional storage. Use of Zotero is not dependent any affiliation with SFU-you will be able to continue using it after you graduate. Citations can easily be added by dragging and dropping PDFs of articles into your account, manually entering references, or by using the Zotero Connector in your browser. Zotero is a free, open source tool that helps you collect, organize, cite, and share your sources. Please be advised that any information you enter on these services is stored on servers located outside of Canada. Privacy notice: Your use of these citation software and services is voluntary. Work with NVivo (Windows and Mac) or other research software.Share collections of sources with others.Automatically generate bibliographies and in-text citations within Microsoft Word (some tools also work with Google Docs, OpenOffice, and LibreOffice). ![]()
