Depending on the field of research, Researchers may have a referencing tool of choice or of established, pre-determined norm. For instance, I am aware that researchers in the Sciences and Life Sciences prefer using Mendely, LaTeX (which is also a document management system).
However, the software of personal preference for research in the Social Sciences for instance is the automatic referencing that MS Word provides or using EndNote.
Yes, EndNote has its fair share of trials and tribulations, but I have used it for a few years now and swear by it :)
The newest version of EndNote allows users to share libraries which would be of great benefit to researchers who work collaboratively. Alternatively, in order to have a sustainable library of research resources, EndNote Web is another option.
Oh, another wonderful EndNote expert/power-user :)
ReplyDeleteGood to know there are other options out there, but sounds like EndNote is increasing its collaborative power.
