We wish that there was a simple answer to that question, but there isn&#8217;t! It all depends on how many references you have, how you like to work and if you are willing to make time to learn how to use EndNote properly. You see, while EndNote is tool that can make your academic life easier (for example, it can help you build a collection of references, insert references into your work and create bibliographies), it will only save you time, if you invest time NOW.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re using the OSCOLA referencing style and weighing up whether to use EndNote or not, then <strong>you might want to consider the following<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You need to have a <strong>good grasp of the OSCOLA fundamentals<\/strong> before you even start with EndNote. If you need a refresher on OSCOLA, then check out the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/libguides.ncl.ac.uk\/referencing\/oscola\">OSCOLA referencing guide<\/a><\/strong> first before even looking at EndNote.<\/li>\n<li><strong>EndNote will not do EVERYTHING for you<\/strong>. You will still need to manually input and amend your references to ensure your footnotes and bibliography comply with OSCOLA.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have you got the time to invest in EndNote before using it?<\/strong>\u00a0We strongly recommend that you make a start using EndNote from the beginning, rather than in the middle or at the end, of your research.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How do you want to use EndNote?<\/strong> Some people decide to use it simply as a storage place for their references and PDFs and leave it at that. Others use it both as a storage place, as well as a tool to help them cite.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Still not sure?<\/strong> Watch the video below to see how to use OSCOLA style and the\u00a0<em>Cite While You Write<\/em> feature in Word.
