What is EndNote Fusion?
EndNote Fusion is the new name for Clarivate’s unified, web-based reference management platform, bringing RefWorks and EndNote together under one experience.
Is EndNote Fusion replacing RefWorks?
RefWorks will be renamed EndNote Fusion. RefWorks users will continue to sign in and work with their existing data and workflows; they will see updated colors and a refreshed design.
When will the change happen?
We are targeting October 2026 and will confirm exact dates closer to the rollout.
Do end users need to do anything?
No. We will also communicate directly to end users via in-app notifications.
What do admins/librarians need to do?
No action is required today. Please plan to update LibGuides, library pages, and training materials this summer to reflect the new EndNote Fusion name. We will provide screenshots and supporting materials to help guide these updates.
Will authentication, access, or integrations change?
Our intent is to preserve existing authentication and core user workflows. If there are any changes that require institutional action, we will inform admins well in advance with clear steps and timelines.
Will RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM) change?
RCM will be renamed to align with EndNote Fusion. Users should not need to take action; citing workflows in Word and Google Docs will continue to be supported. You may want to notify your IT department of the upcoming add-in name change, although no re-install will be needed.
What about current EndNote users?
EndNote remains a core part of Clarivate’s long‑term strategy. EndNote Fusion represents the next evolution of EndNote, delivering a more flexible, cloud‑based experience while continuing to support desktop workflows. There is no immediate impact or action required for EndNote users, and no changes to contracts, license terms, or pricing. We will provide clear guidance well ahead of any future changes.
Will URLs, links, or bookmarks change?
We do not expect changes that require users to update bookmarks. If any updates are needed, we will communicate this clearly in advance.
