Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Millions of researchers, scholarly writers, students, and librarians use EndNote to search online bibliographic databases, organize their references and images, and create bibliographies and figure lists instantly. Instead of spending hours typing bibliographies, or using index cards to organize their references, they do it the easy way--by using EndNote! EndNote is a valuable all-in-one tool that integrates the following tasks into one program:
- Search bibliographic databases on the Internet
- Organize references and images in a database
- Construct your paper with built-in manuscript templates
- Watch the bibliography and figure list appear as you write!
Search bibliographic databases on the Internet:
- Using EndNote's Connect...and Search... commands, you can search Internet databases just as easily as you can search your EndNote database on your computer.
- Simply open any of more than 430 predefined connection files and you're online and searching.
- Access hundreds of remote bibliographic databases, including ISI Web of Science, many Ovid databases, PubMed, the Library of Congress, and university card catalogs from EndNote.
- Search remote bibliographic databases using EndNote's simple search window--no need to learn multiple search interfaces.
- Export reference directly from ISI Web of Science, Highwire Press, Ovid, OCLC, ProQuest, and more.
- Save and load search strategies at the click of a button.
- Drag-and-drop references instantly to your own EndNote database in one simple step. No additional importing required.
- Create an unlimited number of databases in any size: In EndNote, bibliographic data is entered into a record by filling out a simple template that has the proper fields displayed for a given type of reference. There are 37 customizable reference types with up to 52 fields for entering reference and image data. Now you can organize references in any Unicode-supported language.
- Organize images, too: Organize images including charts, figures, and equations with a caption and your own keywords.
- Customize the references database display: click-sort column heading, adjust column widths, choose fields to display.
- Preview formatted references: using the "preview" pane in the database window, you can preview selected references in over 1000 bibliographic styles.
- Includes hundreds of import filters: There are many sources of bibliographic data that can be used to help you build your EndNote database of references. EndNote includes hundreds of customizable import filters for a variety of online and CD-ROM database providers (e.g. Ovid, SilverPlatter). You can create your own import filters as well. Once you've downloaded the references in a tagged format, choose the appropriate import filter to import the data into your EndNote database.
- Link your EndNote records to PDF files on the Web or on your hard drive: Link your references to full-text articles or other material on the Web, or PDF files on your hard drive using EndNote's Link To command. By selecting the Open Link... command, EndNote automatically starts your Web browser or application (i.e., Acrobat Reader) and presents the linked file for viewing.
- Use Term Lists for consistent data entry: Term Lists store glossaries of keywords, author names, or any other terms that are important to managing your references. As you enter new terms, EndNote suggests terms from these lists to facilitate data entry and to ensure terms are entered consistently. Pre-defined Journal Term Lists are provided for biomedicine, chemistry, and the humanities--complete with common abbreviations of journal names used in bibliographies.
- Searching: The Search... command in EndNote offers a high degree of flexibility and control in designing searches. You can limit your searches to specific fields such as Author name, Year, or Keywords. You can also choose a general search, one that searches on all fields in a database.
- Global Editing: Use the Change Text, Change Field, and Move Field commands to modify existing references. These commands can automatically add a term to all or some of your references. These are useful tools for labeling groups of references as well as for fixing common typos or spelling mistakes.
- Sorting: In EndNote, you can sort references on any fields you choose such as Year, Journal, Title, or Label. You can sort on up to five fields in either ascending or descending order. You can do an instant sort by clicking on the column headings in the reference database window.
- Customize Settings: the settings for customizing your EndNote database display, bibliographic preferences, and other options are organized in one easy-to-access Preferences panel.
- Running EndNote on a Network: use EndNote on a network and share databases across mixed platforms.
EndNote includes built-in Word templates to guide you through the exacting manuscript requirements of publishers. You can select a predefined template from the Word > File > New dialog menu or from the EndNote > Tools menu to begin your publishing process. A Wizard is ready to assist you with the creation of a new manuscript. Completed manuscripts are now submission-ready with all the key elements in addition to EndNote’s instantly formatted in-text citations, bibliography, and figure list.
Watch bibliographies appear as you write!
- Create instant bibliographies in Microsoft Word: Locate citations in Microsoft Word with Cite While You Write technology. Watch the bibliography appear as you insert citations in your manuscript.

When you're ready to send your paper to colleagues, the references travel with it. Now you can capture references directly from colleagues’ papers to use in your EndNote library with the new export traveling library feature.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Endnote 8.0 For the Macintosh (Mac OS 10.3.7),
This review is from: Niles Endnote 8.0 for Students Only (Mac) (CD-ROM)
Thomson ResearchSoft's (www.endnote.com) Endnote 8 for the Apple Macintosh Computer is without question an excellent piece of software for academic searching and downloading bibliographies from the Library of Congress and many online college card catalogs. Bibliographies can be downloaded via the internet and formatted automatically to a large number of selected academic bibliographic styles.
It is possible to export references directly from ISI Web of Science, Highwire Press, Ovid, OCLC, ProQuest, and more. Endnote bibliographic information can also be entered by typing directly into template record by simply filling out the proper fields that are displayed for a given type of reference. There are 37 reference types with up to 52 fields for entering pertinent reference and image information. Images of charts, figures, and equations can be cataloged and entered into the bibliographic data base for later retrieval when this information is added as a citation to an academic paper. When you have physically retrieved the books and periodicals from a library there is also a field for entering notes and abstract information for each bibliographic entry. When you have finished entering information into the bibliographic data base you can simply print the information and cut with scissors each individual bibliographic entry and arrange according to the outline of your academic paper. Physically writing the paper thus becomes more organized and citations are easily inserted directly from Endnote into your word processor. Microsoft Word for Mac (2004) is the best word processor to use with Endnote 8 since it allows direct insertion of citations into the paper while you type. Although other word processors can be used if the writing is converted to RTF (Rich Text Format) prior to citation insertion. The 586 page Endnote manual that comes with the installation CD is well written and allows the novice to begin learning how to use Endnote 8 with a number of good examples. Endnote 8 worked extremely well with my Macintosh iMac G5 (Mac OS 10.3.7) computer and appears to have been completely rewritten so that it is intuitive and easy to use with Mac OS 10.3. If academic research writing is sine qua non for you, then Endnote 8 for the Mac will save you time and headaches. It is also highly recommended for all Senior high school students that will attend college.

Great purpose, well done, but has a few bugs,

This review is from: Niles Endnote 8.0 for Students Only (Mac) (CD-ROM)
First off, I want to suggest that any student or researcher get some type of software to organize their resources and write their bibliographies for them. Buy something, and buy it now-it will save you time and effort. This software does that, and it does it well. The cite-while-you-write feature allows you to almost forget about the time-consuming citations, and focus on your work. Endnote also allows you to connect to many databases to automatically enter your citations if they are available (most of mine have been, either at Pubmed or in various school library catalogs). If they are not available, you will have to enter the citation into endnote, but only once.
The 3 stars rating is based upon a comparison of this software to other software I have used, NOT to no software (if write papers with references often, you should have something). In fact, I mostly have used Endnote 7 student for PC, which I would have given 5 stars. I had to rate this lower because of a bug I have encountered. Microsoft Word freezes up if I open a file with citations in it, unless endnote is also opened. I am not sure whether this is just because of my computer's specific setup, or if it is a common problem. I have lost work several times due to this bug by absentmindedly opening a file without opening endnote as well. In summary, this is a great program with great features. If you encounter a bug, the convenience is lessened. Good luck.
