Reference Manager 12

Introducing Reference Manager 12

Link and organize files easily
In Reference Manager 12 you can attach PDFs and other files to a reference and store these attachments with your database. Reference Icons for linked files are displayed in the file attachment field. You can convert existing links to new Reference Manager-relative links in one step.

Build bibliographies with ease—Cite While You Write integration with Word 2007 and more
Cite While You Write with a Reference Manager tab on the Word 2007, 2010 ribbon and watch the bibliography appear as you write. Now you can specify the sort order for in-text citations and the bibliography and differentiate between ambiguous citations, such as multiple works by the same author. Reference groups have new options to list as a single citation and suppress an author name with multiple citations.

Collaborate with colleagues using the enhanced Web Publisher
Web Publisher in Reference Manager 12 retrieves an unlimited number of references. And, it can be set to start up automatically and run as a Windows service. Reference Manager databases can be integrated with other portals using updated SOAP and WSDL technologies.
