EndNote X2 and MathType are integrated into iWork ‘09

EndNote X2 from the scientific business of Thomson Reuters (Philadelphia, PA) is being integrated into the Pages ’09 package providing Mac users with Cite While You WriteTM functionality in Apple’s popular Mac® word processor package.

EndNote X2 introduces a full text locator for references, Smart Groups for instant reference sorting, Cite While You Write™ (patent pending) and additional features that allows users to maximise efficiency and focus on their research.

“EndNote X2 combines time saving features such as finding full text and Smart Groups to streamline the research process for Mac users,” said Keith MacGregor, EVP Academic and Government Markets, Thomson Reuters. “Additionally, direct access to scholarly resources in ISI Web of KnowledgeSM and fast-tracked online manuscript submission using Manuscript Central™ provides researchers with integrated solutions from discovery to publishing.”

MathType from Design Science (Long Beach, California) has been chosen as the equation editor for its Numbers (spreadsheet) package.

The Mac has always been big in education, science and engineering said Paul Topping, Design Science's President and CEO. Until now, Mac users that needed equations were limited to using Microsoft Office. Now they have a choice and it is expected that many Mac users in these markets will make the move to iWork. If they have existing Microsoft Office documents containing MathType or Equation Editor equations these can be imported into the new iWork applications and the equations will remain editable.”

MathType has long been known as the professional version of the Equation Editor in Microsoft Office, used by millions of educators, scientists and engineers to create papers and presentations with textbook-quality equations. According to scientific and technical publishers over 85 per cent of submitted manuscripts containing mathematical notation are Microsoft Word documents with MathType or Equation Editor equations. Now that MathType works with Apple's iWork coverage of the most popular word processing and presentation applications on Mac and Windows is virtually complete.

EndNote X2 for Macintosh is available from Adept Scientific, a Thomson Reuters partner and support centre in the UK and Ireland, Germany, Austria and Denmark. Upgrades and new copies may be ordered at www.adeptstore.com.

MathType 6.5 is supplied and supported in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria and the Nordic countries by Adept Scientific. Products including MathType 6.5 can be ordered online at www.adeptstore.com.
