The Endnote Yearly Fee
Just under a year after releasing its previous “major upgrade” (bugfix), Endnote maker ISI Researchsoft has released another. The major functionality improvement they will seek to convince users to pay $100 for upgrading to? Unicode support.
Sigh … it would be nice to see some smart institution out there take the money they’d spend on this upgrade, and put it into open source development. It would not take much to best Endnote with a free offering. Per previous discussions, if you want to make this happen, see RefDB and OOoBib.
Indeed, a guy working in an optics lab has been working on what he calls an “advanced interface” for RefDB using PHP. He’s even using XHTML Strict and CSS for the HTML stuff. Am looking forward to seeing the results.
