Endnote 9 - marginal improvement for a high price [Posted on 2005-09-29]
Ever since ISI moved to the separation of reference data from all the rest of the data, the software has been going down hill. With more than 6000 references in my Endnote data base in version 8, I found movement within the database incredibly slow, as was searching within it... many seconds type slow. It doesn't seem to have improved much in version 9. The only improvement that I have found in version 9 is that there are once again keystrokes for super and subscripts. But if that is all you get for the price, it is quite high. Finally, ISI seems to be reticent to offer free upgrades within a version when bugs are fixed. Perhaps they just move on to the next version, instead of fixing them.

the gold standard in managing bibliography [Posted on 2006-08-02]
It is difficult to imagine that so few years ago academic and professional writers painstakingly typed and checked (or typed and didn't check) reference after reference. EndNote takes care of the hassle of managing multiple works and citations while writing a manuscript. As long as you type things in correctly the first time, you're good to go, from title page to the last page of your index.

EndNote is almost infinitely adaptable to the bibliographical style you want to use and infinitely searchable throughout any field you can think of and a few others that will make you grin to think people actually keep track of *that*.

The learning curve can be a bit steep when you're first getting to know the software, but this is more than compensated by the power it places in your hands once you've mastered the basics. It integrates to virtually any word processor, so no worries there.

The only negative observation I can make about ISI's great software is that it's expensive to buy and expensive to upgrade, a fact that I suppose can be chalked up to the fact that it's working a niche market when compared to, say, the gamers and the accountants.

I don't know another product that rivals EndNote.
