EndNote and LaTeX/BibTeX
LaTeX is a mathematical typesetting programme that enables the easy creation of documents. BibTex is a bibliographic tool that can be used with LaTeX to manage references and create a bibliography.
It is not possible to use EndNote’s Cite While You Write functionality with LaTeX/BibTeX. However it is possible to use the reference management features of EndNote and then export a reference list in BibTeX format.
Help and guidance with using EndNote with LaTeX/BibTeX is available from:
