End-Note Plus seems to hold up rather well in the construction
of bibliographies in association with a text manuscript and as for
search, one can search by keywords, authors, or words in titles.
The bibliographies can be used as stand-alone items to be used in
general referencing. In writing a paper, it does pay to try to
have all of the sources in a single bibliography as the formating
process uses the number of the item in the bibliography. If you
have two bibliographies to work from, it is possible that two
different entries could have the same number and hence not print
out. Those who need to use the American Anthropologist or American
Antiquity style of references cited will have to construct their
own formats. The styles supported are APA, Author-Date, Chicago,
JACS, MLA, MLA note, Nature, Numbered, Science, Vancouver, numerical
and author-date. Using the Author-Date citation style one can
easily create journal and book entries. It is a little more complex
to work out all of the sub-divisional referencing needed for a
chapter in an editted volume in a series.
Certainly you can use the brief review. I still use the
product. It has upgrades to Endnote Plus with a module that is
incorported into Microsoft Word. The module becomes a part of the
menu and hence can be activated directly from inside Microsoft
Word, a real upgrade. You can also format your manuscript directly
from Word without having to activate outside the Endnote
application.
