The Write Stuff
Stephanie Marshall
Bibliographic Software Specialist
Once you've used reference management software, you'll never
want to write without it again. EndNote works with your word processor
to locate and manage the literature references you need to cite in your
research paper, project report, technical proposal, patent application
or dissertation - and
automatically creates formatted bibliographies and figure lists as you
write. Now there's a new version, EndNote 9.
EndNote has been an essential tool for academic research for many years,
but what makes EndNote 9 compelling for everyone who has to write technical
documents is its ability to handle far more than just text-based literature
references. Use it to create and manage custom databases of all your resource
material - files, images, graphs, PDFs, audio clips, spreadsheets, chemical
structures and more. EndNote will organise them and incorporate them in
your Microsoft Word document at the click of a mouse. There's no limit
to EndNote 9's storage capacity.
Handling literature references is still
the core application of EndNote, of course, and this time-consuming and
tedious task is so much easier with EndNote. You can connect to hundreds
of online reference libraries, locate relevant references and import them
into your personalised reference collection without having to retype a single
word.
As you write, EndNote automatically creates a bibliography in exactly
the style required by your organisation or the publication you're
writing for. Don't worry about correct and consistent use of bold,
italic, abbreviations, punctuation etc - EndNote does it all for you.
A
new feature that will be very welcome to anyone who co-authors papers
or shares documents with colleagues is EndNote 9's compatibility with
the Track Changes feature in Word. That makes it easy for everyone to
see what changes each contributor has made.
Unicode support means that
EndNote 9 has the ability to handle Greek, Russian, Japanese and other
non-ascii characters, including specialist symbols, so you can bring an
international dimension to your research.
If you're using EndNote 9 on
a Macintosh, you'll find that this
new version supports the new Mac OS X Tiger desktop search technology,
Spotlight. So you can search your EndNote libraries as well as other
files on your system in a single Spotlight search.
Now with more than 560
connection files, 1,300 output styles, 480 import filters and 170 manuscript
templates, EndNote 9 has to be the most flexible writing tool money
can buy. |
