The Scientific business of Thomson Reuters today announced the release of a major upgrade to Reference Manager(R) for Windows -- the bibliographic software used by researchers worldwide. Known as the only citation management software with a true multi-user network version, Reference Manager also provides a tool for publishing Reference Manager databases on the Web or to an intranet. Reference Manager 12 delivers expanded file management, Cite While You Write integration with Microsoft Word 2007 and enhancements to Web Publisher that simplify collaboration.

"In an ever-evolving global market, the ability to effortlessly share research with colleagues is critical," said Keith MacGregor, EVP, Academic and Government Markets at Thomson Reuters "Reference Manager 12 provides researchers with the flexibility to collaborate using a network, the Web or an Intranet, enabling access to references and related files anytime, anywhere."

New features include:

-- Link PDFs and other files to a reference and store with your Reference Manager database for easy organization.

-- Cite While You Write(TM) with a Reference Manager tab on the Microsoft(R) Word 2007 ribbon -- immediate access to frequently used commands.

-- Collaborate with colleagues using the enhanced Web Publisher-share databases over the Web or an Intranet.

-- Use new reference types -- Edited Book, Online Source and Grant -- and new fields in many reference types, including the NIH required PMCID.

With Reference Manager, authors can save time by exporting references directly from online resources such as ISI Web of Knowledge SM. Manuscripts formatted by Reference Manager can be submitted easily for publications using Manuscript Central(TM), an online manuscript and peer review system for scholarly publishers from ScholarOne(TM).
