5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best, March 24, 2006

By

This review is from: ResearchSoft EndNote 9 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

Endnote 9 escapes some of the apparently terrible glitches with Word that plagued version 8 (which I have heard about but haven't tried).

Some of the other features haven't changed since Endnote 5, including the essential Z39.50 search feature. What this means is that you can click on "Connect" and go to the Library of Congress or other libraries or databases (OCLC FirstSearch, for example, although this one requires a password) and download the entries directly into Endnote. You then have all the references in your own Endnote library without even going to the library site. For example, if you need to search Psych Abstracts, you can use the "connect" feature to search for and download the references, including the abstracts, right into your Endnote library.

Also, most university libraries have a feature through which you can select and download your citations into Endnote, Procite, or RefWorks. I don't know about the "drag and drop" feature touted by the company and complained about by another reviewer because with the other automated ways of generating citations that Endnote provides, I haven't used it.

Yes, there are a few quirky features that still linger from the old versions. The interface isn't as modern as, say, Procite's, but Endnote still works well. It is well worth purchasing and will save you many hours of additional work if you are a graduate student or academic. I'd seriously consider it for undergrads, too, if only for the time and headaches saved in converting from format to format when you're writing papers. Does anyone really want to memorize the differences between CBE, MLA, APA (5th ed), Chicago A, Chicago B, and so on? I didn't think so, and with Endnote, you don't have to; the program will automatically format these references for you.
*Note: Some of the language in this review is the same as one I posted for Endnote 5, since the features are the same.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Program for writing papers with many sources, October 24, 2005

This review is from: ResearchSoft EndNote 9 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

As a graduate student, I have had to write papers with over 20 sources. At times, it is very time consuming to check your sources and enter the correct reference in the text, especially using APA style. EndNote has definitely helped me in time management around references and citations. It is quick and easy to enter the sources and connect them to their quotes.
One of my gripes is that the program has limited knowledge about APA referencing and citations. So I have to double check the quotes and citations.

5.0 out of 5 stars This program changes the way I write, December 9, 2005

OG "BDE" (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: ResearchSoft EndNote 9 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

Gone are the days of notecards and going back and forth in documents looking for sources. The great features of endnotes are that you can copy in abstracts and put your own notes in there, as well. Scientific papers almost write themselves. I would highly recommend this program to anyone that writes papers with multiple (20+) sources particularly those in the medical profession.
