Sente 5
It's like iTunes for academic literature.
Only better.
Introduction Searching PDF Management Organization Bibliographies
Sente 5 is the next-generation academic reference manager. Sente helps you find, organize, review and cite the academic literature in your field, and it does it in ways that you have probably not thought possible before. Sente also helps you build and maintain your library of PDF files for these references, because having ready access to the full text of important articles can be critical. Sente also excels at properly formatting bibliographies in your papers, but you probably already knew that.

A New Approach

Many people open their academic reference manager only when they are writing a paper and need to format a bibliography, because that is what reference managers have always been used for. But we think the world has changed and reference managers can be useful for much more than just formatting bibliographies.
Here are some of the things that Sente can do that might surprise you:
  • Search hundreds of on-line reference databases and check for new results each day
  • Automatically file and rename PDFs and other attachments based on your preferences
  • Download and file PDFs just by clicking on the link on the publisher's web page
  • Automatically create and populate references when you import your existing PDF files
  • Quickly add references by entering only an ISBN, DOI or other identifier (Sente will automatically find all of the rest of the information for you)
  • Create any number of custom fields and use them just like any of the built-in fields
  • Rearrange the reference editor freely to best meet your personal needs

A Real Mac User Interface

Perhaps the most pleasing aspect of Sente is that it provides all of the features you need in a real Mac interface. Sente was designed by Mac people for Mac people, with the attention to detail that you expect.
So, take a look at the other pages here describing some of Sente's more advanced features and watch some of the tutorial videos to see Sente in action. Then download a trial copy and try it on your own data. We think you will start to see academic reference management in a whole new light.
