Reference Manager offers an easy yet powerful way to cite references within your word processor. Create instant bibliographies in Microsoft^® Word using Reference Manager and  with Cite While You Write™ instant formatting technology—all you do is select references to cite. Reference Manager takes care of formatting the bibliography in over 1,000 journal styles—you can even create your own styles.

With Reference Manager you work entirely within your word processor. This lets you concentrate on your writing while Reference Manager locates the correct citations – even across multiple databases.

Sharing your document for collaborative writing is easier with Reference Manager's traveling library that contains complete bibliographic data for all of your citations. Reference Manager creates a hidden traveling library automatically as you cite references in Microsoft Word. When you're ready to send your document to colleagues, they'll have all the necessary information to reformat the citations and bibliography. Wherever the document goes, the references travel with it. And you can capture references directly from colleagues' papers to use in your own Reference Manager database with the export traveling library feature.

The Cite While You Write with Instant Formatting feature is compatible with Microsoft® Word for Windows 2003, 2007. The Add-in feature is compatible with WordPerfect® 10-12, X3.

Reference Manager supports output styles for over 1,000 journals. If you don’t see the name of the style you want to use, you can take a similar style and modify it with Reference Manager to create new ones.

Let Reference Manager format your manuscript—complete with in-text citations—in the output style you want. If you later decide to submit the manuscript to another publication which uses a different output style, simply choose the new style and let Reference Manager re-format the in-text citations and bibliography for you. You'll save hours of time and eliminate errors.

Reference Manager lets you preview and produce formatted, stand-alone bibliographies. Select all of your references or a marked set, choose the output style, and format the document as you would like to see the information, including or excluding specific fields. You can print to a file, directly to a printer, or you can preview the file first, using Print Preview. A formatted bibliography created from Reference Manager can be saved in various formats for later use. Choose Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, text, or HTML, for posting your bibliography to the Web.

Save steps creating a bibliography with topic headings using Reference Manager. Simply select the field “Author” to view the finished bibliography organized by authors. Control the look of your subject bibliography by selecting your favorite output style and a sort order for the references. This feature gives you an easy way to update your curricula vitae and reading lists.
