Reference Manager

Web Publisher

Publish your reference collection on the Web or an intranet.

Publish up to 15 databases for colleagues to share

Reference Manager 12 includes a simple Web publishing tool for you to post reference collections on the Web. You control whether visitors have Read-Only or Read-Write access to your published databases.

It's easy to customise the look and feel of your references on the Web with the following options:

bibliographic output style

number of records to display on a result page

citation only or citation + partial abstract views

show/hide specific fields (e.g., notes, linked and custom fields)

title bar page names

published library descriptions

"About" page text

custom logo (200 x 125 gif or jpg)

external Web site link (shown in page footers)

authentication with a User Name and Password (applies to all users)

The Reference Manager Web publisher includes everything you need to interact with SOAP and WSDL standard services. Reference Manager enables an individual to post databases to the Web in seconds, and organisations to integrate reference collections into their own enterprise portals.
