EndNote and Reference Manager

• A reference database
• Specialising in storing, managing and searching
  for bibliographic references and images in your
  private reference library.
• An online search tool
• Providing a simple way to search online
  bibliographic databases and retrieve the

  automatically
• Locate citations and figures in Word with Cite
  While You Write bibliography and figure list
  appear as you insert into a manuscript.
• Export references from a travelling library
• EndNotes unique travelling libraries store all
  reference data in your Word document. So you can
  export references directly from collaborative
  papers to view and store in your own EndNote
  library.

  tables in-text or as lists at the end of a
  document.

• Data Visualisation integration Windows only
• Export EndNote records to data visualisation
  tools such as OmniViz and Reference Visualizer.
  Used in conjunction with EndNote it will
  streamline the research and document analysis
  process.
• XML Import and Export
• Features for importing and exporting in XML
  format to allow for easier use of text in various
  applications and on the World Wide Web.
• Palm OS compatability
• EndNote 7 enables direct, synchronisation between

  Manager it will streamline the research and
  document analysis process.

  virtual links that allow them to easily navigate

Where next for Reference Manager?

• Reference Manager 11 is planned for 2004.
• Some of the new and popular features from EndNote
  will probably move into Reference Manager
  although it will always be the Network package.

12
Document analysis and visualisation software

• RefViz
• Organise, analyse, and investigate the huge
  amounts of literature available to researchers
  today.
• Documents are organised by thematic content and
  presented in graphics, allowing you to identify
  major themes and focus in on areas of interest.
  
• It can be used to create overviews of
  bibliographic databases and literature search
  results from Reference Manager or EndNote.
• Available later in 2003

• Reference Web Poster
• ISI ResearchSoft hope to relaunch this product in
  the next 12 months, however, no other information
  is currently known.
• ProCite
• ISI ResearchSoft plan to continue selling ProCite
  for as long as people want to purchase it
• WriteNote
• A web-based package aimed at undergraduates
  currently being introduced into a number of UK
  Universities

14
Possible trends

• Although EndNote and Reference Manager are likely
  to contain similar features they are still
  separate packages with their own advantages and
  user-base.
• More tools (like RefViz) to help users search
  their databases to look for information.
• More products to help people get involved in
  referencing at an earlier stage (WriteNote).
• Continuous development of web-based packages as
  technology moves forward.
