Welcome to the Adept Scientific Press Room

CHEST and ISI ResearchSoft have announced an agreement to offer site-wide licences to Higher Education Sites, Further Education Sites, Research Councils and selected Associated Sites in the United Kingdom (UK) for WriteNote™ – a unique educational software tool aimed at the student audience in universities and colleges. Sold as an annual, site-wide subscription to the organisation, WriteNote is designed to help students conduct their research and write papers.

“In response to requests from our customers who wanted a bibliographic software program that could be provided to students on an affordable basis, EduServ has negotiated an agreement which is available to all CHEST institutions,” said Nikki Green, Manager, CHEST. “The agreement is structured to accommodate the requirements of institutions within the CHEST community and provides a licensing model that allows WriteNote to be accessible by all.”

Under the agreement, CHEST institutions can subscribe to site-wide licenses for their organisation for a minimum one-year term, or add WriteNote to their existing licenses for

EndNote®, Reference Manager® or ProCite®. Access to WriteNote will be via a combination of IP authentication and e-mail address plus password. Access via Athens is currently in development and will be available in the next few months. As an ISI ResearchSoft authorised distributor in the UK, Adept Scientific provides customer service and technical support related to these CHEST negotiated licenses.

“Our agreement with CHEST confirms the growing interest we are seeing from institutions to enhance their support of teaching students research and writing skills,” said David Kochalko, President of ISI ResearchSoft. “We are excited to deliver the first Web-based bibliographic solution designed especially for students. WriteNote brings the essence of EndNote to the campus for the benefit of all students, and provides an easy way for students to move to EndNote when their requirements advance.”

A site-wide licence for WriteNote benefits everyone on campus:
· Students collect references and cite them in papers
· Librarians direct students to the school’s subscription content
· Professors and teachers reinforce the principles of correctly citing sources
· Deans and administrators maximise the value of online resources and improve students’ paper writing skills
· Information Technology managers save time with a cost effective, Web-based tool hosted by ISI ResearchSoft
