Customer Reviews of ResearchSoft EndNote 9 [Bibliographies Made Easy]

Still the best
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.

easy reports
This program made writing reports for me much easier. I can use it to research articles once I found the one needed it, it saves it for me and I just copy it into the text. Great stuff! Well as everything it takes some time before one learnes the specifics.

THIS SUCKS!
Don't be fooled with Endnote's marketing claim - "Drag and drop references instantly to your own EndNote database in one simple step" - their idea of drag and drop is **copy** your reference (from your citation list already created in word) and paste in the entire refence into the Title field of the Endnote's reference window, then "drag and drop" the individual pieces of data into their proper fields. Also, you are required to remove extraneous punctuation and make sure each author names are on a separate line... LOTS OF WORK TO DO IF YOU ALREADY HAVE AN ESTABLISHED CITATIONS OR REFERENCE LIST. This product may ONLY be good for those who are about to start a paper or do research. If you are already established and got lots of references already - imagine the pain and time spent cutting and pasting your references one at a time to creat an Endnote library. ARGH. The AGONY! And importing references from other sources, lots of steps to go through... you begin wondering, hmmm... am I really saving time building a library? SAVE YOUR MONEY! AND SAVE YOURSELF SOME PAIN FROM LEARNING HOW TO USE THIS STUPID SOFTWARE - and that will SAVE YOU SOME TIME TO WRITE AN EXCELLENT PAPER!
