EndNote has been around longer than RefWorks, and many researchers prefer it. EndNote Basic (sometimes called EndNote Online) is the free version of the software. Here are the main features of EndNote Basic:

• All software is online
• 2 GB of storage for free
• Works with Macs or PCs
• Collects, stores and organizes references
• Allows you to attach and store full-text articles
• Produces bibliographies in the citation style of your choice
• Works with Microsoft Word via Cite While You Write to create in-text citations and a matching bibliography.

• EndNote Basic has limited capability to directly import references from databases. This means in many cases you'll have to export a RIS or other text file from the database, and then upload it to your account. When in a database, look for an export feature for EndNote Basic, EndNote Web or EndNote Online (EndNote alone refers to the desktop version). Some databases that will export directly are EBSCOhost databases and Web of Science. Databases that will NOT export directly are Google Scholar, JSTOR, and PubMed. You can download the Capture Reference bookmark to your browser, but it only appears to work with EBSCOhost databases. 
• EndNote Basic cannot capture and import full text files. You will need to attach a file after entering its reference in your account.
