EndNote is reference management software formerly published by Thomson Reuters and now developed by Clarivate. It is available for Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS.
An enz file is an EndNote connection file. It stores the settings EndNote needs to connect to an online database, rather than storing a user's reference library or document.
EndNote uses these files with its online search and connection-management features. The format is specific to EndNote and remains associated with its desktop applications.
Open an enz file with the installed Windows or macOS version of EndNote. EndNote can use the file as a connection definition through its connection-management features.
If opening the file directly does not work, use EndNote's connection manager to locate and install it. The exact menu names can vary between EndNote versions.
An enz file is a connection definition, not a reference document, so it has no useful general-purpose conversion format.
To make an equivalent connection, use EndNote's connection manager to create or edit the connection settings. References retrieved through the connection can then be exported from EndNote in one of its supported reference formats.
