Each piece of software has their own strengths and weaknesses. However how do you choose? Which is better? “Better” is often subjective. Therefore you can use Mendeley with one research article and Endnote for another.įor each research article, it is best to have all authors use the same piece of software. Reference lists though, can be interchanged between software. A MS Word document that is formatted using Mendeley, cannot be then formatted with Endnote. Unfortunately, reference managing software is not interchangeable. Software such as Endnote and Mendeley partially automate these time-consuming tasks and make your research life easier.

You don’t need to keep track of who you cited, in what order, or whether your reference list includes only who you cited in the paper. Reference managing software simplifies research publication.
