Carlsbad, CA, USA - November 26, 2001 - Today, ISI ResearchSoft shipped a major upgrade to its Reference Manager® software that streamlines the process of publishing research by providing a new level of integration with Microsoft® Word®, new ways to store links to online and Web-based research, and direct access to ISI Web of Science®. These enhancements shorten the path from primary research to published papers.

Reference Manager's powerful features and intuitive interface make it ideal for corporate, government and academic researchers, librarians, writers and students who need to find, import, manage and perfectly format reference data. Reference Manager can be used to create articles for professional journals, grants, dissertations, theses, CVs, research papers, regulatory filings as well as other types of publications.

"As the Web becomes increasingly important in the day-to-day life of the researcher, our users are looking to extend the power of bibliographic software, " said David Kochalko, President of ISI ResearchSoft. "Direct searching of Web and online data sources, including the new connection to ISI Web of Science and the addition of new fields for storing links to full-text, combined with new instant formatting, make it easier to write and publish," Kochalko continued.

Cite While You Write with Instant Formatting in
Microsoft Word
Reference Manager's new instant formatting delivers a finished bibliography as users cite references in the document, further streamlining the writing process. With Cite While You Write, users focus on writing the paper, letting Reference Manager locate and insert citations as well as produce bibliographies. Other Cite While You Write enhancements include automatically created hot links in a formatted bibliography, easy addition of notes, and one-step removal of codes when submitting a manuscript for publication.

New Traveling Library for Easy Collaboration
Sharing documents for collaborative writing has never been easier than with Reference Manager's new traveling library. Documents contain complete reference data for all citations. Wherever the document goes, the references travel with it-ready for colleagues to add, delete and reformat citations in the same document.

New Fields for Storing Links to Web Pages and Files
Reference Manager 10 now has four dedicated fields in each reference for storing links to related information. Users can store a virtual collection of links to full-text documents, PDF files, chemical structures and reactions, related links and image files. The linked information can be stored on the Internet or on any accessible hard drive or network server for quick retrieval and review.

Reference Manager 10 has greatly expanded linkages to the ISI Web of Knowledge^SM platform. For the first time, users can download links to full text from ISI Web of Science. New filters allow easy importing of alerts from ISI Current Contents Connect® and ISI Discovery AgentSM. For those users who are not subscribers to ISI Web of Science, ISI eSourceSM allows pay-per-view access to key scholarly literature with three-way citation linking.

Reference Manager 10 adds over 150 new content files, including output styles, import filters and connection files, making it easier to connect to and import data from a wide variety of online sources. To further ease this accumulation of references, many online databases have included a direct export of references into Reference Manager, including OCLC, Highwire Press, ProQuest, Ovid and others.
