Major upgrade of what is claimed to be the world's most popular bibliographic software offers new connectivity and publishing solutions
ISI ResearchSoft is now shipping both Windows and Macintosh versions of a major upgrade to EndNote - the bibliographic management software used by millions of researchers, students and librarians worldwide.
Well known for introducing innovative features to search online bibliographic databases, organise references and create instant bibliographies, EndNote 7 provides authors with new types of bibliographies, flexible image handling, and connectivity to explore and mobilise their reference collections.
"We are pleased to provide our customers with new technologies that extend the value of their EndNote libraries, including letting our users go mobile on Palm handhelds," said David Kochalko, president of ISI ResearchSoft.
"Our commitment to improving EndNote's core features contributes to its premier position among researchers worldwide".
Instant subject bibliographies.
For the first time, users of EndNote 7 can save steps creating a bibliography with topic headings using EndNote's new 'Subject Bibliography' feature.
For example, users simply select the field Author to view a bibliography organised by author headings.
The look of a user's subject bibliography can be controlled by selecting a favourite output style, choosing a sort order and a numbering scheme for the references.
This feature gives users an easy way to update their curricula vitae and reading lists.
Users can take advantage of EndNote's new ability to insert a figure or table anywhere in a Microsoft Word document.
They can now search their EndNote libraries for images to place figures and tables within the text, or to create figure and table lists at the end of the document, depending upon their presentation or publisher requirements.
And there are new output style settings to specify the caption location for figures or tables.
In response to increasing demand for EndNote to be more compatible with word processing packages other than Microsoft Word, ISI ResearchSoft has equipped EndNote 7 with an RTF feature, enabling bibliographies to be created using StarOffice, OpenOffice, AppleWorks, FrameMaker and more. EndNote 7 scans RTF documents containing temporary EndNote citations and creates a bibliography instantly.
EndNote 7's RTF Document Scan feature lets users choose any of over 1000 output styles to create the final bibliography.
EndNote 7 mobilises a user's EndNote library on Palm OS.
Users can now access their references anywhere, anytime.
With this new connectivity, users can search, edit and beam references, and then use the HotSync function to back up their EndNote library to the desktop.
The software works with every handheld device from Palm (such as the Tungsten series, Zire series or m series) using the Palm Operating System 3.1 to 5.2.
Other new features include the ability to export files in XML format, and to move EndNote references to data visualisation tools to help users explore research literature visually.
In addition, EndNote 7 helps users locate full text faster by connecting to an institution's online resources with OpenURL links.
With over 1500 content files including output styles, templates, import filters and connection files, EndNote 7 expands the number of ways to collect data from a wide variety of online resources and to publish manuscripts. EndNote 7 for Macintosh and Windows is supplied and supported in the UK and Ireland by Adept Scientific.
