What is ENL file?
The ENL file extension is most commonly associated with the EndNote Library software. EndNote is a reference management software created by Clarivate Analytics that helps organize citations, create and collaborate on bibliographies while writing scholarly documents. The ENL file stores references, categories or groups and other information that was entered into the software. It is the primary file type used for saving data entered into and created by this program. [ ⏩ ] ENL file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from CIW to ENL?
To successfully convert the CIW file to ENL, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.CIW). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case ENL (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than ENL).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. CIW to ENL. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting CIW files to ENL files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension ENL, while before this step we had the CIW file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new ENL file, or not.
