Bookends 10.5.5

Bookends 10.5.5 is one of the most salutary bibliography/reference and information management systems for students and professionals.

With Bookends you can easily import references (information about journal articles, books, etc.) from EndNote, and directly search and import from PubMed, the Web of Science, Google Scholar, JSTOR, Amazon, the Library of Congress, and hundreds of other online sources.

Major Features:

1. Use a built-in browser to download references with pdfs or and/or web pages with a click.
2. Automatic searches of PubMed let you discover articles as soon as they are published.
3. Powerful group-based searches, with static, smart, and virtual groups.
4. Live Search lets you further refine searches as you type.
5. Annotate your database with reference cross-linking with defined relationships and comments.
6. Attach any file (such as a pdf) to a reference and view or open it instantly.
7. There are options to automatically download, rename and organize pdf files on-the-fly from PubMed (requires access permission) or from your hard drive.
8. Scan your word processor files and automatically generate finished manuscripts with properly formatted bibliographies.
9. Access the power of Bookends directly from MS Word (including Word 2008) and Mellel.
10. Scan Pages '08 and '09 files and OpenOffice 3 files, or RTF files saved from any word processor.
11. Share your references over the Internet with anyone, on any platform (you, but not people who access your databases, must have a broadband connection).

Enhancements:

• Updated  Google Scholar online search and autocomplete paper: Changes made by Google required an update in the parsing engine.
• Updated the Get PDF feature to deal with changes made by certain publishers
• Improved detection of doi's in pdfs when attaching files
• Select and manipulate multiple notecards at once: This can be particularly useful if you want to copy multiple notecards at one time to another application, such as a word processor or email application.
• Improved MLA format: If a Book short title is required to disambiguate citations, it will automatically be output in italic (if there is no short title, the title will be used).
• When importing pages, Bookends will strip out certain trailing characters: These are " p", " p.", " s", and " s."
• The ambiguous citation/citation not found window is a regular document window
• Unlike the old floating palette, this window will be visible if you switch to your word processor to locate the temporary citation in the document.
• Reference metadata copied to the clipboard from OpenOffice Writer can be imported into Bookends
• Global Change -> Change Case will properly apply Title Case to words having an apostrophe near the beginning: For languages such as French, contractions such as d' and l' in front of a noun should be left as lower case. When using Title Case, Bookends will treat the apostrophe as a word break character unless it occurs prior to a word-terminating letter "s" (the possessive case). This is already handled properly when a reference is formatted for a bibliography or footnote.
• Improved handling of footnotes in Pages ’08 and ’09 documents: Bookends will find and insert footnotes in scanned Pages documents if they are reset at the beginning of each page or section, and if they are denoted by Roman numerals or symbols rather than Arabic numerals.
• Bug fixes: Fixed a cosmetic bug affecting the List View scrollbar refresh. Fixed an error that could occur when printing a bibliography directly to a pdf. Fixed an issue where editing a format in the Formats folder would actually update a format of the same name in the Custom Format folder. Fixed a bug in a Pages '09 document scan where a temporary citation in a table was recognized but not replaced. Suggested file names when rebuilding or repairing databases will take into account the database extension, if any. Spotlight searches in the List View window work again.
