Software keeps references under control

Reference Manager 10 Network Version, from ISI ResearchSoft, is a major upgrade that now offers the same dynamic features as the single-user version.

Reference Manager 10 Network Version, from ISI ResearchSoft, is a major upgrade that now offers the same dynamic features as the single-user version.

These include: enhanced integration with Microsoft Word, new ways to store links to web-based research and direct access to ISI Web of Science.

Unique to this network version are links from Reference Manager to two powerful new research tools increasingly found on users' desktops: data visualisation software and the OpenURL standard.

These enhancements, coupled with Reference Manager's already robust research tools and refined searching and sorting capabilities, make it the ideal solution for corporate, government and academic researchers, librarians and students who need to find, import, manage and perfectly format reference data for professional journals, grants, dissertations, CVs, research papers as well as other types of publications.

The enhanced "cite while you write" feature allows for greater efficiency in the writing and research process.

Reference Manager now instantly formats a finished bibliography as users cite references in the document.

Sharing documents for collaborative writing has never been easier than with Reference Manager's new travelling library.

Documents contain complete reference data for all citations.

Wherever the document goes, the references travel with it ready for colleagues to add, delete and reformat citations in the same document.

Reference Manager 10 Network Version now has four dedicated fields in each reference for storing links to full-text documents, PDF files, image files and more.

The linked information can be stored on the Internet or on any accessible hard drive or network server for quick retrieval and review.

Additional improvements include expanded linkages to the ISI Web of Knowledge platform and over 150 new content files, including output styles, import filters and connection files, making it easier to connect to and import data from a wide variety of online sources.

Users of the network version are now able to access their OmniViz Pro software directly through the Reference Manager interface.

OmniViz Pro, the only available data visualisation program that can analyse both textual and numeric information in the same framework, provides users with a visual interpretation of their reference data, allowing for easy recognition of relevant trends and patterns within this data.

Through implementation of the OpenURL standard in Reference Manager, if a site has installed a link server such as the SFX server, then from each reference users will have access to a host of related, virtual links that allow them to navigate between independently supported online databases.

This technology of linking databases to each other at the document level enables Reference Manager to become a powerful linking service of scholarly information.

Reference Manager is supplied and supported in the UK by Adept Scientific.
