EndNote Click automatically builds up a search history of articles you access in your personal EndNote Click Locker. This means you can come back and read full-text articles you previously read anytime and anywhere.

You can:

  • organize your articles with tags
  • download PDFs to your computer
  • export articles to your preferred reference manager (EndNote, Zotero or Mendeley)
  • or conveniently share the article with colleagues

EndNote Click includes enhanced integration with EndNote 20 and EndNote 21, allowing you to automatically export your references and PDFs straight from your EndNote Click viewer into EndNote. When viewing PDFs in the EndNote Click Viewer, you will be able to select the option to Export To EndNote which allows you to export your references with PDFs attached into EndNote in one click. If you do not see the Export to EndNote button, you may need to set EndNote as your preferred reference manager in your EndNote Click settings. 

EndNote Click also integrates with Web of Science data to help you make more informed reading decisions on the web. You can easily identify quality articles from journals that have been selected to be in the Web of Science Core Collection.  There’s also a convenient feature to look up the paper's citation count.
