University of Johannesburg is moving to a new Reference Manager: EndNote
EndNote is a Reference Management software package, used to manage bibliographies and references when writing essays, reports, and articles.
If you are a current Mendeley user we can help you to migrate your references. UJ access to Mendeley will expire at the end of June 2024!
You need to have downloaded EndNote and set up your account! If not, see the Getting Started Tab.
