Product Description:

Sente 5 is the premier academic reference manager for Mac OS X. Sente's iTunes-like interface makes finding, reviewing, organizing and using the academic literature in your field easier than ever.

Sente (pronounced sen-tay) makes literature searches easier by providing a front-end to hundreds of data sources around the world, including: PubMed, many university library catalogs, Web of Science, Ovid, Agricola, the U.S. Library of Congress, and any other literature database that supports Z39.50 or SRU, and MARC or Dublin Core record syntax. (WoS and Ovid, and some other data sources, require a subscription.)

Sente updates the results of your searches each day so that you can easily stay current with new results. This means that you will learn about important new papers as soon as they appear in any of the databases you search. And the results will remain available until you find the time to review them, even if that happens when you are not connected to the Internet.

Sente provides numerous tools to help you keep your reference library organized, including: unlimited custom data fields, unlimited custom keywords, star ratings, custom statuses, and filters that can use any of these criteria to automatically produce custom subsets of your data.

When it is time to write up your own research, Sente takes care of the details of properly formating citations and bibliographies. Sente includes over 100 pre-defined bibliography styles, including APA, Chicago and Harvard, as well as an easy-to-use bibliography format editor that lets you modify the supplied formats or create your own.

Sente 5 is integrated with MS Word, Pages, Mellel, Nisus and others, and because it can scan most RTF files, it can work with many other word processors.

Sente ReviewSolid program - Version: 5.6.3, 8/28/2008 08:59AM PST

I’ve never used a bibliography tool before, but then contracted for a book project that will require works to be cited. Thus launched a search and demo period between Bookends and Sente. Sente’s price turned me off, but its interface and excellent customer support turned me right back on. For instance, I asked whether this program could be made to interface easily with Scrivener. In only the 13 or 14 days I used the demo, the developer made that happen. And he was quickly responsive to other questions I had during my trial period.

Mind you, if you’ve never used any kind of citation program before, I think you’ll find Sente and probably all the others daunting. I still have much to learn. But Bookends crashed for me when I only had three references added. Sente is still going strong. That was another defining point for me.

I still think the price of Sente should come down some. But if you need this kind of program, great technical support, and an interface that has a genuinely Mac feel, you owe it to yourself to give the 30-day demo a spin.

Sente ReviewGoodbye to MS word and EndNote! - Version: 5.6.1, 6/30/2008 11:57AM PST

I've been using this for about four hours now to reference my NIH grant in Pages. I imported my endnote library (via XML export from EndNote and imported that into Sente -- the native import failed). Word X/EndNote X works ok on my PPC but on intel it is an impossibly sluggish combination.

This does everything that I need.

Searching 1120 reference database is more sluggish than EndNote, however.

Sente CommentaryWrong link - Version: 5.3.4, 3/15/2008 04:26AM PST

FYI:
Versiontracker advertises 5.3.4 but the download link is to 5.3.2.
The developer's website links to 5.3.4.
