EndNote Online features

EndNote Basic has more limited features than EndNote Online, but you can still:

• Use on PCs or Macs
• Format citations in 4,200+ different citation styles
• Integrate with Word to Cite While You Write
• Share groups with up to 1,000 EndNote Basic/Online users
• Save and organize unlimited references

Match is a service that will  help you find the best journal for your article or manuscript. (If you've ever used JANE for the health sciences, this is the same thing, but for a broader set of disciplines). 

To use it:

1. Enter the title and abstract of your article in the appropriate fields.
2. If you save the references you used for the article  as a group in your Endnote Online account,  select the group from a dropdown menu below the Title and Abstract fields.
3. Endnote will then provide you with a list of compatible journals, along with each journal's impact factor and which keywords from your Title/Abstract entries match keywords in the journal.
4. Clicking the Submit button will take you to the homepage of the relevant journal.
