While there are
several developments in X6, the big news has to be that EndNote has
completed its development of a viable cloud integration. There are a
number of benefits to this, but the two big ones are geographic
access and platform independence. Like many users nowadays, I work
from wherever I happen to be, using whatever machine is most
appropriate; I like to keep and manage my core bibliographic
databases on a single master computer at my base, but want to access
and update those in use from anywhere in the world on any device –
including a smartphone as I use spare time in a queue.
The online EndNote
Web tool has been available, and becoming progressively stronger, for
some time, but until now the link between it and the desktop was less
than transparent. That problem has now been addressed. From within
EndNote X6 on the desktop you set preferences for automatic
synchronisation between local and web versions of your bibliographic
database, then forget it. Every change you make on your desktop is
reflected in your web image and vice versa. Storage capacity limit is
now 50,000 records and five gigabytes, which ought to satisfy the
needs of most users. [more]
