Students, teachers and professionals from various areas of activity can use Bookends to search for and find information, store and analyze results, and piece together their work for submission or publication.

Bookends is a powerful reference management application that enables you to handle multiple references, bibliography and other related information from within a user-friendly application.

Bookends supports you through your collection, citation and annotation process by allowing you to search for information over the Internet and import the data you need.

From Bookends’ main window you can effortlessly create multiple groups, notecards and term lists for all your references, cross link and tag clouds. You can also easily retrieve references and associated PDFs from various specialize websites such as Google Scholar, PubMed, JSTOR, Amazon, Web of Science and numerous university libraries.

It is also worth mentioning that various websites might require authentication and access privileges in order to provide access and allow you to search and import references for the PDF files that you already have.

Bookends helps you create static, virtual and smart groups, Team Lists based on authors and keywords, reference cross-linking, tag clouds and numerous notecards for your references. Consequently, you’ll be able to perform quick and resourceful live searches and instantly organize the retrieved information in your own collections.

Bookends' biggest advantage is that you can filter the displayed items and quickly find the reference information and attachments you need with just a few mouse clicks and keystrokes.

Moreover, Bookends is fully compatible with documents created using Microsoft Word (2004 - 2011), Apple’s Pages (from iWork 08 and up), Mellel, OpenOffice, Nisus Writer Pro and any other word processor that can save RTF files. Hence, you can scan your documents and create publication-ready manuscripts containing bibliographies and footnotes.

Bookends also enables you to synchronize your library, including your PDFs with the Bookends application for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. If you want to use the mobile version, Bookends On Tap, you need to purchase it via the iTunes store for your iOS device.

On the whole, Bookends is a one stop solution for all your reference management needs, with all the tools and features you require to effortlessly find, collect and organize all the information related to publish your academic papers.

What's new in Bookends 15.0.0:

  • Citation Style Language (CSL) style support:
  • CSL styles are analogous to Bookends formats — templates that describe how reference metadata should appear in citations and bibliographies. Individual styles are available from the CSL project, Zotero.org, and other online sources. Their content cannot be viewed or edited in Bookends, but there are apps and online sites where this can be done. As a rule, we recommend that you use Bookends native formats rather than CSL styles. Formats are faster, easily and endlessly configurable, and have many useful capabilities unavailable in CSL styles. CSL styles, on the other hand, are not easily created or edited, may yield imprecise results because not all Bookends and CSL fields are equivalent, and have no Bookends-specific functionality. Having said that, if you need a format that isn't included with Bookends and can't find another that fulfills the bibliographic requirements and don't want to create one yourself, you may find a CSL style that meets your needs. There are some Bookends-specific features for which CSL styles cannot be used: renaming attachments, generating citekeys, and creating a format catalog.
