Citation and Research Management Tools at Harvard

EndNote is probably the most sophisticated of the citation tool options. The user interface is highly customizable and very robust. However, it may take a bit longer to learn than other tools and the most full-featured version usually costs money, but there's an educational discount for Harvard students.

• Can handle large collections of citations
• Has unlimited storage space
• Many library databases offer a direct export option for EndNote
• Has professional technical support
• PDFs can be viewed and annotated directly in EndNote
• Especially good for life sciences
