-Organize the references in a logical and efficient manner
-Find & attach full text articles, and create notes in those articles
-Easily facilitate citation tasks within your manuscript in thousands of reference/journal styles at the click of a button
You are welcome whether you're a new EndNote user or need to brush up on your skills.
