Rating: 5 stars
Summary: New version delivers
Review: EndNote is an extremely powerful tool for organising large numbers of references - great for researchers. Add references to the database manually, by "filtering" in your saved searches from databases or a friend's EndNote or Procite reference list, or by connecting directly to databases which support the Z39:50 standard. Select the bibliography style you need (hundreds available, or design your own) and add straight into your article or thesis - it places a citation in the text and formats a tidy bibliography at the end. It's easy to reformat the citations into other styles (as when you need to submit your article to numerous journals).

First time users should expect to spend a long time learning the ins and outs of this huge package but it's well worth the time if you have to organise lots of references. It comes with a great manual that fills in all the details you'll need, which installs on your computer in PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format.

The new version of EndNote includes the facility to add "figures" to your work - it places a marker in the text ie. (Figure 1) and inserts the actual picture at the end of the text in a list of figures. This is currently a bit fiddley to do, presumeably the next version will streamline the process, but certainly very useful.

The other major features of this release are that the menus have been redesigned (the same content is there, and it's probably more intuitive to a new user, but will take a little getting used to), and EndNote now comes with Word document templates for the submission style preferred by many major journals.
