ISI ResearchSoft Ships EndNote Version 6 For Macintosh OS X

EndNote 6 defines Bibliographies and now Manuscripts Made Easy

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Carlsbad, CA, USA - August 5, 2002 - Today, ISI ResearchSoft, a Thomson business (NYSE, TSX: TOC), shipped a major upgrade to the world's most popular bibliographic management software-EndNote (patent pending). Long known for "Bibliographies Made Easy," EndNote 6 now defines "Manuscripts Made Easy." EndNote 6 smartly advances research and publishing by organizing images with text, and by providing built-in Microsoft Word templates for a variety of journals. These new features, along with a more intuitive interface and new connectivity, take EndNote 6 beyond bibliographies making it an essential manuscript management tool for writing, research and publishing.

"As our users know, EndNote originated on the Mac and delivering EndNote for Mac OS X solidifies our commitment to Apple's super-modern operating system and our mutual customers," said David Kochalko, President of ISI ResearchSoft. "EndNote is truly groundbreaking. For the first time users can cite figures as easily as they now cite references in their papers and use templates to construct manuscripts for submission to publishers."

"The ability to run both advanced UNIX applications and productivity applications on one powerful computer makes Mac OS X the perfect platform for researchers, academics and students," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "EndNote is a powerful tool for manuscript management, and we're thrilled to see the latest version running on Mac OS X."

Breakthrough Functionality
EndNote 6 is the first bibliographic software program to manage more than just text. Any type of generic image (e.g., BMP, TIFF, JPEG) or application file (e.g., Excel, PowerPoint, ChemDraw) can now be managed along with traditional text references. Users can access images and files directly from their EndNote libraries in Microsoft Word to create a figure list for their manuscripts.

"Until now, searching for images and other files to cite in my paper was tedious. EndNote has solved that problem. Now I find them quickly and can even click on the thumbnail to edit the image."

With its built-in Microsoft Word templates (e.g., APA, Nature, BioMed Central), EndNote 6 guides users through the exacting manuscript requirements of publishers, saving time and increasing accuracy. Completed manuscripts are now submission-ready with all the key elements including EndNote's instantly formatted in-text citations, bibliography, and figure list. "EndNote prepared manuscripts help us to deliver on speed and efficiency in the publishing process," said Matthew Cockerill, Technical Director of BioMed Central.

Cutting-Edge Connectivity
EndNote 6 builds on its leadership in connectivity by adding new and updated content files, bringing the combined total of output styles, import filters, connection files and manuscript templates to over 1400. These indispensable files enable researchers to collect data from online sources and to publish manuscripts. Many online databases, such as ISI Web of Science, Highwire Press, Ovid, OCLC, ProQuest, and more provide direct export of references into EndNote. Users can also take advantage of EndNote 6's unique traveling libraries by importing references directly from colleagues' papers to their personal EndNote libraries. Together, these new features transform EndNote 6 into an essential online research tool and manuscript manager.
