Is EndNote better than mendeley?
Which citation managing software you choose ultimately comes down to what your needs are. If you love importing references from PDFs, annotating them, and sharing them with colleagues then Mendeley is the right choice. For those who collaborate with co-authors and need to exchange references with ease, choose Endnote.
How much does EndNote cost?
How much does it cost to use EndNote? You can try out EndNote with a free 30 day trial. After the trial, EndNote can be purchased with a one-time cost starting at $100. For more information about EndNote's prices, visit the EndNote website.
Is EndNote 20 or X9 better?
While EndNote 20 retains the three-paned structure of EndNote X9, the interface has been simplified. Previously you could search PubMed and other databases by switching to Online Search or Integrated Mode. EndNote 20 has combined that feature into the main library, essentially making Integrated Mode the default.
