Downloading EndNote

Request EndNote Access

You will be asked for your UC login.

If you have any questions about installing EndNote, please contact Digital Services: IT Service Desk | University of Canterbury

Additional Files

The Library provides some modified and additional Filters and Styles.

Note that any zipped files need to be 'unzipped' i.e. right-click and choose the extract command. Copy these files to your EndNote file folder location.

If you just need the APA 7th style, note that this is not 'zipped'. Just save it into your styles folder.

Installation on a home computer or laptop

These instructions refer to installation of EndNote 21 on your own PC or laptop – they assume Windows 10 or later version.  Mac users should consult the information about using EndNote on a Mac

Before you start installation

  • Always back up your EndNote libraries before doing anything major with EndNote.

  • Ensure Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, Outlook) is closed.

  • If you have an earlier version of EndNote, you don't need to uninstall it, although it is recommended. The new version will override the old one and you will not  lose all your EndNote Library/Libraries saved in the old version.

  • If you have a version earlier than X9.3 then 21 will change your file format, you will end up with a new copy of your library with the name 'converted' in it. The original library remains. 

Using Office

EndNote 21 is compatible with Microsoft Office.  See the EndNote site for up-to-date details on compatibility.
