EndNote with Clarivate Research Integrity

EndNote, by Clarivate, has evolved in 2026 into a comprehensive AI-enabled research ecosystem. Beyond its traditional role as a citation manager, the platform now integrates directly with the Clarivate Research Intelligence suite and Turnitin-powered modules to offer advanced AI content detection. Its technical architecture utilizes the Web of Science Knowledge Graph to validate references and detect 'paper mill' signatures, image manipulation, and AI-generated text in uploaded manuscripts. The system's 2026 positioning focuses on 'preventative integrity,' allowing researchers and institutions to identify AI-generated patterns before submission. By leveraging machine learning models trained on millions of peer-reviewed papers, EndNote's AI detection component goes beyond simple NLP analysis, cross-referencing bibliographies for hallucinations—a common trait in AI-generated academic text. This transition marks EndNote's shift from a utility tool to a critical gatekeeper for academic authenticity in an era of LLM-assisted writing.
