The campuswide license to EndNote came to an end on July 31. Discontinuing our license to EndNote has been under consideration, however this decision was expedited due to billing issues with the vendor. Moving forward, EndNote users will have three options. 

Option 1: We recommend that EndNote users migrate their libraries to the open source platform, Zotero. Much like EndNote, Zotero collects, manages, and cites research references. It's easy to use and connects with your web browser to download sources. You can request Zotero support by emailing [email protected]. 

Option 2: EndNote users who wish to stay with the platform may choose to switch their OSU license to an individual license. Please note, there is a cost to the individual to pursue this option.

Option 3: EndNote users may migrate to the free EndNote Basic if they have fewer than 50,000 references and 2GB of PDFs saved to their EndNote library, however it should be noted that we will discontinue EndNote support in the fall. If you choose to use EndNote basic, we also recommend using EndNote Click, a free browser extension that makes adding PDFs and citations to EndNote Basic very easy.
