The research assistant makes EndNote 2025 smarter than ever
EndNote 2025 gives you powerful new AI-supported tools that help you move faster from discovery to writing. Whether you are reviewing literature, organising references, preparing a manuscript or choosing where to publish, EndNote 2025 is designed to make your research workflow more efficient and more connected.
A universe of knowledge, made easier for you to manage
Your research often involves large amounts of articles, PDFs and citation data. EndNote 2025 helps you manage that complexity with smarter tools for reading, writing, updating references and discovering related research.
Here is what EndNote 2025 can help you do today.
Work interactively with your PDFs using EndNote Research Assistant
EndNote 2025 includes EndNote Research Assistant, an AI-powered tool that helps you work more actively with your documents.
You can ask questions about an attached PDF, generate document-based responses and translate selected text or full documents. This makes it easier to explore complex papers, compare findings and understand research written in another language.
Research Assistant turns your PDFs into a more interactive part of your EndNote library, helping you get answers from your documents without leaving your reference workflow.
Get AI Key Takeaways from your references
Save time when reviewing articles and PDFs with AI Key Takeaways. This generative AI-powered feature extracts key insights from individual papers, helping you understand the main points faster and decide which sources are most relevant to your work.
Instead of opening every PDF from start to finish, you can use Key Takeaways to get a quick overview, move more efficiently through your literature review and quickly refresh your memory when you return to an article later.
Find a suitable journal for your manuscript
Choosing the right journal for your manuscript can take time. EndNote 2025 includes “Find a Journal”, formerly known as Manuscript Matcher, to help you identify suitable journals based on key elements from your manuscript.
The tool uses data from Web of Science and Journal Citation Reports to suggest relevant journal matches, helping you make more informed publication decisions.
Cite directly from your PDFs
When you are writing a research paper, efficiency matters. With Cite from PDF, EndNote 2025 lets you insert a highlighted quote from a PDF into your document together with the corresponding citation.
This makes it easier to move from reading to writing while keeping your sources connected to the text you are working on. And, as you would expect from EndNote, the citation is updated automatically if you reformat your document or change citation style later.
Keep your references more complete and up to date
EndNote 2025 also gives you easier access to practical tools that help you maintain a stronger reference library.
Find Full Text helps you retrieve available full-text articles, while Find Reference Updates helps you update reference details where additional or corrected metadata is available. These tools support more complete and reliable references, although final checking should always remain part of your publishing workflow.
EndNote also helps protect the quality of your work by warning you if a reference in your library has been retracted. These retraction alerts are shown both in EndNote and in Word, so you can spot problematic sources before they make their way into your final manuscript.
See the details that matter to you
The redesigned summary panel gives you a clearer view of the most important details for each reference. You can choose what information to display, making it easier to focus on the fields that matter most to your workflow.
Where available, AI-generated Key Takeaways can also support faster review of individual records.
Discover citing articles and related records from Web of Science
EndNote 2025 strengthens the connection between your reference library and Web of Science.
You can discover related records and find papers that have cited references in your library. This helps you expand your research, follow citation connections and build a more comprehensive understanding of your field.
Spend less time managing references and more time on research
EndNote 2025 brings together reference management, AI-powered document support, journal discovery, citation tools and Web of Science connections in one workflow.
The result is a smarter way for you to manage research: less time spent on repetitive reference tasks and more time available for reading, writing and making progress in your field.
