ISI ResearchSoft Ships ProCite Version 5 for Windows? Popular Bibliographic Software Program is Now a Powerful Internet Research Tool

Berkeley, CA, USA - October 26, 1999 - ISI ResearchSoft today released a major new upgrade to its noted ProCite software that transforms the bibliographic program into an online research tool, allowing users to search remote bibliographic databases on the Internet. ProCite has long been an indispensable tool for researchers who need to manage references in a powerful and flexible database and generate bibliographies in hundreds of styles. ProCite 5 adds an important new feature to the information toolbox ? the ability to access reference data on the Internet and easily incorporate it into personal databases and documents.

"We are excited to offer Internet searching with ProCite 5," said Richard Niles, president and CEO of ISI ResearchSoft. "Now ProCite users can tap directly into the surge of quality research information available on the Internet. The ability to search remote bibliographic databases, coupled with its powerful database management capabilities, makes ProCite the ideal information toolbox for librarians, researchers, and information professionals."

Search More than 200 Internet Databases

With ProCite 5, building a database has never been easier. The new program ships with more than 200 Internet Host files that instantly link the user to Internet databases such as university card catalogs, the Library of Congress, and more specialized databases such as PubMed, PsycINFO, and ERIC from popular providers such as Ovid Technologies, SilverPlatter, and OCLC. Users simply connect to and search any one of these Internet sources just as they would search their own ProCite databases. This new feature enables ProCite users to standardize on one interface to search for bibliographic data in a broad selection of databases worldwide.

Response from the user community has been overwhelmingly positive. "By enhancing the program with the ability to search the Internet, you improved its usefulness greatly ? at least by an order of magnitude," said Dr. Jozef Zon, Chair of Theoretical Biology, of the Catholic University of Lublin, Poland.

Produce Perfectly Formatted Bibliographies Instantly

ProCite 5 offers significant improvements to its Cite While You Write™ technology, the most advanced bibliography generation capability available today. The new Cite While You Write window allows users to view complete references and to click-sort on the column headings for easy access to their references ? all without leaving the word processor. Version 5 also supports new footnote style formatting and now ships with bibliographic styles for over 600 journals and publications. ProCite can create a subject listing by topic and produce an index.

Pricing and Availability

ProCite 5 is designed for Windows 95, 98, 2000, and NT. The list price of ProCite is $395.95. Students can purchase ProCite for $99.95 with a valid student I.D. Special upgrade prices are available to owners of previous versions. ProCite 5 is available from ISI ResearchSoft, authorized resellers worldwide, and college bookstores.
