This 'essential manuscript management tool' for writing, research, and publishing goes well beyond bibliographic data by organising images with text and including templates for a variety of journals
Adept Scientific announces a major upgrade to the world's most popular bibliographic management software from ISI ResearchSoft - EndNote.
Long known for 'Bibliographies made easy,' EndNote 6 now also lives up to the title 'Manuscripts made easy.' EndNote 6 smartly advances research and publishing by organising images with text, and by providing built-in Microsoft Word templates for a variety of journals.
These new features, along with a more intuitive interface and new connectivity, take EndNote 6 beyond bibliographies, making it an essential manuscript management tool for writing, research and publishing.
Initially available for Windows, a Macintosh OS X version is scheduled to ship in July. "EndNote 6 is truly groundbreaking.
For the first time users can cite figures as easily as they now cite references in their papers," said David Kochalko, president of ISI ResearchSoft. "And with the addition of new template wizards, EndNote 6 streamlines the manuscript submission process and provides benefits for authors and publishers." Added Paul Bragg, managing director of Adept Scientific which supplies and supports ISI ResearchSoft products in the UK, Ireland, Denmark and Germany: "EndNote is already an indispensable tool for anyone who writes papers, books, dissertations or theses, and now for such established users and indeed new users, this updated version will definitely guarantee EndNote 6 a place alongside every-day applications such as Excel, PowerPoint and Word." EndNote 6 is the first bibliographic software program to manage more than just text.
Any type of generic image (eg BMP, Tiff, Jpeg) or application file (eg Excel, PowerPoint, ChemDraw) can now be managed along with traditional text references.
Users can access images and files directly from their EndNote libraries in Word to create a figure list for their manuscripts.
"Until now, searching for images and other files to cite in my paper was tedious.
EndNote has solved that problem.
Now I find them quickly and can even click on the thumbnail to edit the image." - Alistair Campbell, Lincoln University, New Zealand.
With its built-in Word templates (eg APA, Nature, BioMed Central), EndNote 6 guides users through the exacting manuscript requirements of publishers, saving time and increasing accuracy.
Completed manuscripts are now ready for submission with all the key elements including EndNote's instantly formatted in-text citations, bibliography, and figure list.
"EndNote prepared manuscripts help us to deliver on speed and efficiency in the publishing process," said Matthew Cockerill, technical director of BioMed Central.
EndNote 6 stays ahead of the competition in connectivity by adding new and updated content files, bringing the combined total of output styles, import filters, connection files and manuscript templates to over 1400. These indispensable files enable researchers to collect data from online sources and to publish manuscripts.
Many online databases, such as ISI Web of Science, Highwire Press, Ovid, OCLC, ProQuest, and more, provide direct export of references into EndNote.
Users can also take advantage of EndNote 6's unique travelling libraries by importing references directly from colleagues' papers to their personal EndNote libraries.
Together, these new features transform EndNote 6 into an essential online research tool and manuscript manager.
