Bookends is a full-featured bibliography/reference and information management system designed to facilitate academic cross-referencing work. Integrated with major word processing applications such as Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, Apple Pages, and others, Bookends automatically scans your documents and produces properly formatted bibliographies and footnotes.

One of the standout features of Bookends is the Search and Import Wizard, which allows you to import citations from sources such as Google Scholar, Amazon, and EndNote. It also offers the ability to exchange links over the Internet for joint projects. The software even allows you to attach reference files and search for PDF documents to cross-reference or attach to your document.

Although Bookends supports various word processing applications, it unfortunately lacks support for NeoOffice. Also, importing links may fail from time to time, but a simple database rebuild should resolve the issue.

Overall, Bookends is a powerful tool that can significantly reduce the time spent cross-referencing scientific documents and creating bibliographies.
