FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Carlsbad CA, USA - August 21, 2007—Today, Thomson Scientific, part of The Thomson Corporation (NYSE: TOC; TSX: TOC) and leading provider of information solutions to the worldwide research and business communities, announced the immediate availability of EndNote^® XI for Mac^® OS X—the bibliographic management software used by millions of researchers, librarians and students. EndNote XI introduces custom groups to view and manage subsets of references, AppleScript^® compatibility for key EndNote tasks, seamless connectivity with EndNote Web to simplify collaboration with colleagues and more.

“EndNote X1 Mac users can now create groups and build AppleScripts to streamline tasks within EndNote as well as between other applications,” said Keith MacGregor, EVP Academic and Government Markets, Thomson Scientific. “With the breadth of new features in EndNote X1 and seamless connectivity with EndNote Web via ISI Web of Knowledge, Mac users have a versatile and collaborative environment to work with colleagues around the world.”

Group References for Instant Access
With EndNote X1 users can drag and drop references into subject folders for immediate access to subsets of references. Each EndNote Mac library can have up to 500 custom groups, and action-specific groups are created automatically for search results, file imports and reference transfers from EndNote Web, the new Web-based research and writing tool. Now users can access their groups instantly and manage their references more efficiently.

Automate Key EndNote Tasks with AppleScript
In EndNote X1, AppleScript can automate repetitive tasks such as writing text into record fields from another application, importing and exporting records in and out of EndNote, and formatting a bibliography of selected references. Shortcuts for these processes enable users to be more efficient, while ensuring consistency and accuracy.

Collaborate with colleagues and students
using EndNote Web
EndNote X1 integrates seamlessly with EndNote Web, a Web-based basic bibliographic tool available as an institutional subscription. For the millions of graduate students and researchers who depend on the high performance capabilities of EndNote, integration with EndNote Web provides a way to manage references when away from their desktop computers. EndNote users can collaborate with colleagues and students by sharing EndNote Web folders. And users can cite references from both EndNote and EndNote Web in a single paper and transfer libraries easily. Now EndNote users can be even more productive with the combination of EndNote and EndNote Web.

More New Features
EndNote X1 provides time-saving enhancements that are tailored to how researchers work today. A Quick Search function is included in the default Mac toolbar, and EndNote X1 uses the native Mac OS X spellchecker, providing a Dictionary Converter to easily convert custom dictionaries from earlier versions of EndNote. Users can now view all authors for a reference in the main list display, and organize up to 45 files—PDFs, graphics, PowerPoints and more—per reference using the “file attachment” field. Custom reference types can be exported and imported between computers easily, so users can transfer their personal settings between computers.

EndNote X1 also includes new and updated files for searching online resources, importing references and formatting bibliographies—1,500+ connections to online sources, 600+ import filters and over 2,800 publishing styles. These and other improvements requested by students, researchers and scholarly writers make EndNote the favored reference management solution for millions worldwide.

EndNote X1 is designed for Mac OS X and Windows 2000, XP and Vista. The list price of EndNote X1 is $299.95 USD. Students in North America can purchase EndNote X1 for $109.95 USD with a valid student I.D. For a list of international distributors, go to www.endnote.com.
