“EndNote version 5
allows authors to make a quantum leap to a new world of formatting where genuine

create lists of references.”
— Teri Lynn Herbert, Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences, 2001
“For writers across
disciplines from art to medicine, [EndNote] is heaven sent because it relieves hours of
painstaking entry and proofreading.”
“The search interface
is an intuitive dialog box that allows searching within specific fields, such as authors,
journals, or publication year, as well as combining searches with logistical operators.
”
“The combination of
painless online searching (that downloads references ready for citation) and precisely
formatted bibliographies is a joy to experience.”
— M. Jawad Hashim, Medscape, Sept. 2001
“Creating
bibliographies and keeping track of references are tedious and time-consuming parts of
publishing. EndNote, available through ISI ResearchSoft, has been a leading software
solution for these problems since its creation by Niles Software in the late 1980s. It
provides an easy interface for entering and maintaining references, allows searching of
over 300 online databases, and greatly simplifies bibliography creation.”
— Joseph A.
Bedell, Biotech Software & Internet Report, 2001
“This neat program
helps you control the organization and output of bibliographies, and is a super tool that
greatly aids with the creating and editing of scientific papers, especially the citations
and the bibliography of these cited sources.”
“Wherever there are an
abundance of researchers, writers, students and teachers, there should also be found this
excellent resource.”
— Dale Farris,
Golden Triangle PC Club, Sept. 2001
“Unfortunately, this
review would have to be fully interactive to demonstrate the power of [CWYW], all it is
possible to showin a static text is a finished paper - which would be a rather pointless
exercise.”

“It [EndNote] can save
busy teachers time and effort that can be used for more important things like actual
research, class preparation, and spending time with students.”
“The Styles in EndNote
are a godsend for scholars writing to several journals.”
“Without doubt one of
the "coolest" features, to speak as my students do, is EndNote's use of the
Internet to connect you to hundreds of libraries across the world. You can sit in the
comfort of your home study and gather every book ever on written on Kierkegaard, have them
downloaded, and new Library created right on your desktop.”
“As I said, the
connectivity is superb and fun (yes, fun!), and scholars can find many uses for it.
EndNote 4 is a great upgrade, and a great product for busy teachers and professors. If you
are writing a dissertation or thesis, or publish regularly in journals and write books
(all the stuff academics do when not teaching), then this program is a must have. If you
have a library at home and want a database of it endnote will save a ton of time. ”

“To me, one definition
of excellence is a program that someone can begin using right out of the box; and as that
person becomes more familiar with the program, he or she can customize the program,
explore new features, and make it more personalized for his or her specific needs and
work. EndNote is a perfect example of this type of program.”
— Computers in Nursing, Jan./Feb. 2001

4.0 includes a number of worthwhile developments, which can be summarized as 'full Windows
productivity'.”

imported directly into an EndNote library by means of a simple copy-and-paste
operation.”

permitting users to both save search strategies and combine results from separate
searches. ”

novices and experts alike.”

obscuring many desktops. ”

in productivity and accuracy.”

“Astronomers enjoy
debating how the universe was created and how matter is distributed in space: one giant
bang or a medium bang and then incredible amounts of ongoing expansion? Have you not, when
faced with your own ever-expanding personal universe of ‘info-matter’, asked
yourself similar questions? How did I get so many references? Is there an underlying
structure here? Will it keep accumulating? How will I keep it all in order? EndNote 4 from
ISI ResearchSoft, remains an excellent solution to problems with ephemeral matter of this
kind.”
— Information World Review, July/August 2000
“Perhaps the most

“It (EndNote) has
been overhauled since the previous version, adding a new Windows interface; a change in
publisher's name from Niles Software to ISI ResearchSoft; and many new features and
capabilities, including such things as moving fields, drop-down term lists, new style
manager, new connecton files, new editors, quick sorting of bibliographies, new fields and
reference types, and generally more convenience since the previous version.”
— The Journal of Academic Librarianship, July 2000
“The different
formatting styles already built into EndNote, a feature likely to be heavily used in
research situations, are alone worth the price of the software.”
— Dale Farris, Golden Triangle PC Club, July 2000
"EndNote 4.0 is a
solid update to an already excellent research tool.”
— MacWorld.com,
June 2000
“EndNote does all
that, but it goes far beyond a mere editing tool. It will do Web searches and build
databases with 32,000 references per Library and no limit to the number of Libraries: you
can have one or more Libraries for each project. There are tons of such features, they all
work, and EndNote has been around long enough to have become the standard with which all
other such programs are compared. I haven't found a better one, and I see a lot of these
tools. I'm pleased to say that I have no problem repeating my opening statement. If you
need this kind of program, you need EndNote bad. Recommended.”

“Billed as
"the world's most popular bibliographic software," with over 250,000 copies

searching, reference database management, and bibliography-making in a single
program.”
