School of Public Health: Reference Management Tools

EndNote is a Reference Management tool that is used to collect, manage and share references directly from a desktop library by syncing the information into the cloud. In addition EndNote allows you to cite references while writing a paper and also identify appropriate journal for submitting your manuscript for publishing.
Note that apart from the free trial version, unlike Mendeley,EndNote is not free. However, the University of Ghana Library System (UGLS) has acquired the EndNote software for the Research Commons (RC) where all Graduate students are required to go and have it downloaded for free once they are duly registered.
