Q: Can I use EndNote Online with Google Docs?
A: You can use EndNote Online to add a formatted bibliography to your Google Document, but you can't use the feature "Cite While You Write" to help you easily insert references into your document text (formatted in-text references) or automatically generate a formatted list of references/bibliography, at the end of your document, or change the citation style easily. What you can do with EndNote Online is generate a bibliography, in your choice of thousands of styles, then copy and paste it into your Google Document. You can benefit from the full functionality of EndNote's Cite While You Write feature if you use it with Microsoft Word.
