The References module is for managing your reference collection, as well as formatting a document before submitting it to a journal. It includes all the features found in traditional bibliographic software as well as some advanced features found only in Biblioscape. Unlike other bibliographic software, Biblioscape lets you organize references into folders. You can organize the folder tree with drag and drop, just the way you use Windows file explorer to organize files. Better than file explorer, you can put a reference into several folders without creating a duplicate. The folder feature is nice, but it is still a static approach which means a reference can't go to a folder by itself, you have to drag it there. So, Biblioscape provides another advanced tool called "Dynamic Folder". These blue folders can be organized just like regular folders with drag and drop, but each of them is actually a query. When you click on a blue folder, all references matching that query will be retrieved. In other words, as new references are added into your database, they are automatically assigned to each of those blue folders. Isn't that wonderful!
The Biblioscape References module is designed to take a large amount of data. When the number of references exceeds 10,000 most standard searching tools become slow. To overcome this problem, Biblioscape comes with a full text indexing engine to index each word in your database. This can drastically increase the searching speed of an indexed search and the performance does not deteriorate as the database grows bigger. Besides super fast performance, the indexed search is also easy to use and powerful. It works very much like Internet search engines.
Another important feature of Biblioscape is its tight integration with the Internet. With the built-in web browser, you can search all the bibliographic databases on the Web, your library catalog, university hosted citation databases, etc. Once you have found what you want, clicking a button will capture all the references on the Web page into your Biblioscape database with the right import filter.
