Use a built-in browser to download references with pdfs or and/or web pages with a click. Automatic searches of PubMed let you discover articles as soon as they are published. Powerful group-based searches, with static, smart, and virtual groups. Live Search lets you further refine searches as you type.

Attach any file (such as a pdf) to a reference and view or open it instantly. There are options to automatically rename and organize pdf files on-the-fly. Automatically download and attach the pdf of an article from PubMed if you have access permission. Automatically locate and attach pdfs on your hard drive.

Scan your word processor files and automatically generate finished manuscripts with properly formatted bibliographies. Access the power of Bookends directly from MS Word (including Word 2008) and Mellel. Scan Apple Pages '08 files and RTF files saved from any word processor.

Share your references over the Internet with anyone, on any platform (you, but not people who access your databases, must have a broadband connection).
