Bibliographic management cuts user tasks

A major new version of EndNote for Windows is available now from Adept Scientific.

EndNote X2 continues a 20-year tradition of innovation by introducing a full text locator for references, Smart Groups for instant reference sorting and an expanded 'Groups' panel to centralise collection and organisation activities, saving users time and allowing them to concentrate on their research.

"EndNote X2 is the only bibliographic management product to deliver high-impact features such as finding full text and Smart Groups that eliminates tasks for users", said Keith MacGregor, EVP Academic and Government Markets, Thomson Scientific.

"Coupled with EndNote Web users can collaborate efficiently on the web and desktop with direct connectivity to the high quality resources in ISI Web of Knowledge".

EndNote X2 locates full text articles for references.

The user simply selects one or more references, a group or an entire library and EndNote scans online sources for available full text.

Once found EndNote downloads and attaches the article PDF file to the appropriate reference automatically, all while the user continues working.

EndNote X2 brings organisational and collection touch points together in the Groups panel making these frequently used tasks easy to find and use: create Smart Groups based on user criteria for automatic sorting of references as they're added to an EndNote library; search favourite online resources and library catalogues instantly; retrieve deleted references from the Trash group; and transfer groups between EndNote Web and EndNote easily.

Other features of the upgrade include: the ability to search online databases or an EndNote library using the Integrated Search tab in the preview pane of the main Library window; a facility to track new and updated references with the auto date stamp; the ability to view Library and Record summaries for a snapshot of key metrics such as groupings, counts, date last saved, most used reference types and more.

Use new reference types include: aggregated database, blog, catalogue, pamphlet, serial publication and standard.

EndNote X2 for Windows is available from Adept Scientific, a Thomson Reuters partner and support centre in the UK and Ireland, Germany, Austria and Denmark.
