New Edition of the Award Winning Web Information Manager Includes Automatic Reference Capture, Bibliography Creation and Synchronisation with EndNote®

Adept Scientific is pleased to announce the general availability of Onfolio 2.0 Academic and Scientific Edition from Onfolio, Inc. Building on the productivity tools in the award-winning web research product, the new edition adds automatic reference capture from a wide variety of online sites including newspapers, magazines, academic journals, RSS feeds and academic databases. The Academic and Scientific Edition also adds an easy-to-use bibliography tool and automatic synchronisation of reference data between Onfolio and EndNote®.

Onfolio Academic and Scientific Edition is the first browser-based web research tool with the ability to automatically capture reference data and content from online news sites, magazines and book sellers. It is also the first RSS reader to support one-click capture of reference data from RSS feeds into EndNote libraries. In addition to these firsts, the new edition also speeds up the process of capturing and filing references from academic databases and journal hosting sites into EndNote libraries. For people who do not use EndNote, Onfolio includes easy-to-use, basic bibliography tools that can place formatted references in MS Word documents and on custom generated web pages.

“We heard from our customers that proper capture, management and display of references is a critical element of scholarly web research and that getting references from Onfolio into the leading bibliographic management package, EndNote, needs to be a constant and automatic process. With these priorities in mind, we set out to help make researchers more productive as they capture and organise articles and references,” said JJ Allaire, CEO of Onfolio.

The entire cycle of online research is more efficient using Onfolio-the comprehensive web information management tool. Seamlessly integrated with Internet Explorer and Firefox, Onfolio captures bookmarks and stores local copies of Web pages, PDF files, charts, emails and more into personalised collections for reliable offline access. The RSS reader makes it simple to read, organise and search RSS feeds, providing timely access to new information. Easy-to-use personal publishing tools allow researchers to effortlessly share information with colleagues. The addition of the new Academic and Scientific Edition enables effective handling of bibliographic references, making Onfolio the ideal tool for academic web research.

“We recently purchased a campus-wide license for Onfolio as our web research tool of choice for students and faculty,” said Dr. Donald Vescio, CIO of Worcester State College in Massachusetts. “Onfolio provides a consistent conceptual framework that makes it easier for students to improve their research and writing techniques, and easily share their research with professors and other students.”
