From the Autumn Term 2021, Endnote Online is being recommended and supported for all undergraduate and taught postgraduate (PGT) students. Endnote Online can be accessed and used by first setting up an account on Web of Science, the database platform from Clarivate Analytics, available on FindIt@Bham.
RefWorks has been supported for undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses: however, this support finishes on 30th September 2021. RefWorks will no longer be available after this date: any current users should download any references stored in RefWorks by that date, for uploading into Endnote Online (or other software if preferred).
To set up on Endnote Online, and transfer any records from RefWorks, see our Endnote Online Starter Guide Links to an external site..
