EndNote customer close-up ahead of X6 & ipad app launch
Last week, Adept’s bibliographic software expert, Stephanie Marshall, travelled around the country with Tilla Edmunds, Product Manager at Thomson Reuters, to hold a series of ultra successful software user meetings. These unique EndNote VIP events (which happen no where else in the world) provide key UK customers in education with a chance to talk to Thomson face-to-face and exchange knowledge. We wanted to bring our roadshow within easy reach of attendees, so we held our meetings at key cities across the country, including Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol and London. We were pleased to see both new and familiar faces.
Participants got a sneak preview of brand-new EndNote X6 ahead of its official public launch later this summer. They were keen to see the inclusion of a new Sync button to quickly, easily and automatically synchronise desktop and web-based libraries, as well as new record read/unread status indicators and the ability to rate favourite or frequently-used references.
Attendees also got a first look at the keenly awaited EndNote ipad app due out in the autumn to coincide with the planned EndNote X6 Mac release. This new tool will complement EndNote on the desktop by putting on-the-go PDF viewing, annotating and emailing capabilities at the disposal of ipad users. The app also enables users to add, edit, group, copy and email citations, as well as sync them with their EndNote Web account.
Adept and Thomson gained plenty of software feedback, as well as new insight into the needs of our bibliographic software customers in education and research, and the issues they face with maximising the use of EndNote/EndNote Web on campus. A rewarding and enlightening roadshow for all involved.

If Endnote iPad app could handle the PDFs just like the computer version, it will surely become my only PDF organizer in my iPad…

Thanks for your comments. When released the EndNote iPad will be able to store full text PDF documents, however the number it can store will depend on the gigabyte capacity of your iPad. Functionality and features within the iPad app itself will be dependent on what Apple has made available to the developers.

Is there any news yet as to when the iPad app will be released?

The iPad app is currently in beta testing and we believe Thomson are hoping to release it before the end of the year. As soon as we have more details we will let all our customers know. In the meantime, to ensure you get notification about the ipad app plus other EndNote news, you could join My Adept at http://www.adeptscience.co.uk/process.php

We believe Thomson Reuters is aiming to release the iPad App in January 2013 – keep checking back to the website for news of the official launch.

I’d been hoping the endnote app for iPad would allow cite while you write functionality with pages on iPad. Your article and discussion here make this seem unlikely. I suppose this function would actually have to come from pages developers, right?

We can confirm that ‘Cite While You Write’ is not possible in the iPad App. This is due to something called ‘Sandboxing’ where Apps are stopped from communicating with each other for security reasons. However, temporary citations can be placed in documents from the App and then converted into full citations when the document is opened in Word on a computer with EndNote or EndNote Web. However, this method does not work with Pages and there is no news about Pages implementation for the App.
