All the references for books come from it. The fact that I cannot grab references from the WorldCat database is really disconcerting to me because that is the number one source for me. The sources are not expandable that, if they don’t work for you, you will be stuck. But, the implementation is inefficient because it is restricted to a few If I want to do the same in Bookends, the process is clunky and inefficient. I used to have a large number of other sources including Stanford University.īookends has a similar feature. Note that these 5 sources can be expanded, if required. Worldcat gives a complete reference data i rarely find a mistake. Clicking the red button populates the reference information. That Red Circle makes the insertion of reference so elegant. The title of the book, “Italian Syntax…” is going to be automatically pasted in the WordCat. The top 5 sources are the most important. In Sente, I would drop the PDF to the library, Sente displays its Citation Lookup dialogue box in which I will select the Title of the book and choose WorldCat. So, when I was trying Bookends, I was hoping that Bookends would do the same.Īssume that I received a PDF book from a friend. The two sources offer the cleanest references while Google Scholar gives out the most incomplete metadata. Sente made the process perfect by its feature called Targeted Browsing. The most important of them, for me have been: Worldcat and Stanford University Library. But, Sente has been efficient in doing it from a broad array of sources: that I cannot list all here. Generally, most reference managers can detect references from the major databases (search engines) like PubMed and Google Scholar. The whole focus of the Bookends seems on the MedPub. But, the real issue, and the true depth of shit of Bookends is on the reference detection and downloading part.I am not going to wear this app for my birthday party. I just think some people might not appreciate it. But, honestly, I am less worried about that. At the first look, the app generally looks unattractive. It is really not clear which of the menus do what. Not well organized: the tools and features are jumbled here and there.Sente gives the best PDF reading experience ever not even the dedicated PDF readers like PDF Expert, iAnnotate, Acrobat Reader can reach it. The PDF reader is ugly and not even comparable to the reader in SEnte.I think bookend is quite good reference manger. Bookends does it in a sweep, just a couple of seconds to fix about 1500 references. I was not able to change that for a number of years within Sente. But, the Titles were exported as Journal. One of the worst footprints of Mendeley from the Windows that remained in my reference for ages was: the Titles of the references were placed in the place of the Journal. Sente also has this system implemented differently.I think the Bookends has an upper hand here. And, most importantly, it has some cool tools called **Global Change** which seem very useful. These tools helps to make a change to a number of references in one sweep.
