Citation, by askSam Systems and Oberon, is a writing tool that is intuitive and very easy-to-use. And it's a program that's absolutely wonderful for students and anyone doing research. Citation is a really exciting add-on to Microsoft Word or WordPerfect for those writing research papers. My wife is in graduate school and she used Citation to greatly simplify the process of organizing all of the bibliographic information she gathered for various papers. And the program makes it really easy for you to record your notes as well. A great way to track your notes and even document your sources. Very slick!
Citation helps you compile bibliographic information from magazine articles, books, and the like. And one of it's really nifty features is that it can put your information in a particular style! Anyone who's in school knows how fussy some instructors can be about using the "approved" bibliography style. And, Citation supports over 1,000+ different reference styles including popular ones like Chicago, MLA, and Bluebook. The program properly formats all of your references and to me that means you can pay more attention to writing your paper. Each reference is contained in a "note card" and you can quickly sort your notes by subject -- very cool!
Citation, by askSam Systems and Oberon, is a powerful add-on for MS Word and WordPerfect. It's a tool that's easy-to-use and very intuitive. Anyone who's doing papers, and especially research, is going to want to check it out. It supports a huge number of reference styles including all of the most popular ones. It prompts you for all the important tidbits you need to enter and is extremely intuitive to use.
So, if you're a student and doing research papers, this is a program you'll want to look at! It's one of the slickest Word add-ons for writers that I've seen -- and Mrs. File Finder agrees. Give it a try, I recommend it!
Once again, that's all we have time for. I hope you enjoyed reading about these Picks. And, I hope you'll give them a try for yourself. All of them are really excellent software products. And remember if you try a software product, and find yourself using it, be sure to pay for it. In that way, the shareware concept works for all of us. I'm off to look at more programs and I'll be back next week with more Picks to tell you about. Until then, have a great weekend, happy downloading, and Happy Valentine's Day!
