APA, Chicago, MLA, and Many More
Sente ships with over a hundred built-in bibliography formats, including many of the most common (and complicated!)
like APA, Chicago 15 (all three styles), MLA, Harvard, and Vancouver.
Plus, there are over one hundred formats for specific academic journals like Science, Nature, and many more.
And Sente makes it easy to modify the built-in styles and to create new styles.
Apple Pages '08
Sente is the first academic reference manager to include native support for Apple Pages.
Drag and drop references from Sente into Pages '08 to insert a temporary citation "tag"
such as "{Smith 2001}" and insert "{bibliography}" wherever you would like your bibliography to appear.
Then execute the File > Scan command within Sente and select the open file,
reference library and citation format,
and Sente will produce a new, properly-formatted Pages document and open it automatically for you.
Because Sente works with native Pages '08 files,
no formatting or layout information is lost in the conversion to and from RTF
that must be done with other reference managers.
Microsoft Word
Sente works with Microsoft Word 2004 and 2008.
With Word 2004, Sente adds custom commands to Word that enable you to insert citations
in your documents as you are writing and editing.
Sente will also insert a bibliography wherever you want in your document.
The citations and bibliography are added in whatever format you choose
and the format can be easily changed at any time.
With Word 2008, Sente uses the same file scanning approach that is used with Apple Pages.
Mellel
Mellel has support for Sente built right in.
Simply set Sente as your reference manager in Mellel preferences,
launch both programs, and you will be able to easily insert citations and generate bibliographies.
Nisus, TextEdit and More
Sente also works with almost any word processor that supports RTF, HTML or plain text documents,
including OpenOffice, NeoOffice, Nisus, TextEdit and more.
Citations can be added to any document by dragging the reference from Sente and dropping it into place.
Then, when you want to see the properly formatted output,
just execute the File > Scan command and Sente will generate a new file with whatever citation format you choose.
