Glowing reference

EndNote X1 – the latest version of the world’s most popular
citation management software – has
just been released. We think it’s
great!
Tens of thousands of EndNote users know how much time they save, and how
many tedious, repetitive tasks they avoid, by using this software. EndNote
makes it easy to find the literature references you need by searching the
hundreds of bibliographic databases on the Internet – and import
the citation data without any retyping!
Replacing clumsy card indexes, EndNote lets you organise
references, in any language – as well as related
files such as PDFs, figures and graphics – in
your own personal reference libraries which you can view, configure and
search in the way that suits you best. Best of all, EndNote automatically
generates your bibliographies, table lists and figure lists as you write,
in over 2500 publishing styles.
Now there’s a new, much enhanced version;
and one of its most useful innovations is the ability to group your references
into sub-sets, making it much easier, and more efficient, to locate, edit
and manage them.
You do this in EndNote X1 by simply dragging and dropping
references into the appropriate subject folder. You can create up to 50
custom groups in each of your EndNote libraries; and groups can be automatically
created to file search results or EndNote Web transfers.
EndNote’s patented Cite While You Write
technology is a huge time-saver – it
creates your bibliography automatically, formatted consistently and accurately
to your preferred specifications (or those of your publisher or institution),
as you insert citations into your manuscript.
EndNote X1 is fully compatible with the latest Word 2007, and takes full
advantage of Microsoft’s new ribbon
technology to simplify access to Cite While You Write commands – for
example, allowing you to select your most common actions with a single
mouse click.
Some small but telling improvements make EndNote X1
even easier to work with. Particularly useful is the new ability to view
all authors’ names
(even those of papers with a whole team of co-authors) in the library list
display.
In EndNote X you could attach PDF files to a reference;
now you can attach up to 45 files per reference, of any type (PDFs, Word
documents, images, chemical drawings, presentations, spreadsheets etc).
If you have access to EndNote Web (see
panel) you’ll find it easy
to import and integrate references you, or your colleagues, have acquired
and stored remotely. EndNote X1’s
Cite While You Write technology handles references from EndNote Web as
easily as from your locally stored EndNote libraries, within the same document.
There are a host of other improvements and enhancements,
including a “quick
search” feature, a useful
visual cue to highlight the field you’re
currently editing in the Reference Edit window, the ability to import references
directly from ProCite and more control over your font preferences. And
the ever-growing list of connection files, import filters, output styles
and manuscript templates now exceeds 5000, further increasing your connection
and publishing output options.
And that’s what new EndNote X1 is all about: more
choices, more flexibility, more time-saving features. If you’re
already an EndNote user, you’ll
find this a compelling and value-for-money upgrade; if you’re looking
for a reference management program to help your studies, research or writing,
look no further than EndNote X1!

New EndNote Web
Academic institutions can now subscribe to a new, Web-based reference management
service.
With EndNote Web, they can offer students
and staff access to a broad sub-set of EndNote tools through a standardWeb
browser, which means they can carry on with their research any time, from
anywhere that has an Internet connection, even if they don’t
have their own PC to hand. EndNote Web lets them store up to 10,000 records
per EndNote Web account; these records can be easily imported into each
user’s own desktop
copy of EndNote.
EndNote Web is included in EndNote site licences and is available
on an annual licence basis to academic institutions. For more information,
