In the first time that I wrote a paper in the school of public health I arranged all of my references by hand using index cards, it means at that time, I didn’t know that I can at least use the Insert/ References tool at Microsoft Word. So simply I marked each piece of information with a number and I spent hours to arrange all of the references and if I wanted to change the arrangement of the paper, I must change all of the references, it was a painful and hard approach.
In the second semester of my study I learned that actually I can simply use the Insert/Reference tool at Microsoft Word. So I did it by word and I enjoyed it. But the problem was that I must write the citations by myself and use a standard citation system. If the professor asked me to change the citation, or if I wanted to submit my output in a seminar with different citation protocol, I had to type and change all of the citations, and again experiencing another painful procedure.
In the third semester, finally I learned that Endnote can do all of these things quickly, precisely and accurately. Now I am a big fan of Endnote and if I see a brand new student who started to write papers in grad school or even undergrad programs I definitely suggest him/her to use this magic software.
Now millions of researchers, scholarly writers, students, and librarians use EndNote (patent pending) to search online bibliographic databases, organize their references, images and PDFs in any language, and create bibliographies and figure lists instantly. Instead of spending hours typing bibliographies, or using index cards to organize their references, they do it the easy way—by using EndNote!
