Keeping things integrated

One of the early goals of the Biblioscape team was to provide an integrated tool for researchers. In the early days, references were managed by a bibliographic software, and ideas and notes were stored in a Personal Information Manager (PIM), while the actual writing of a paper, a thesis, or a book was done in a word processor. Information had to be copied and pasted between these applications. Searches had to be done in more than one application to ensure nothing is missed. Correction in your references or notes databases would not be reflected in your final writings unless you manually make the changes.

Biblioscape aims to provide researchers with the tools they most need and eliminate the call for complicated workarounds. You will find that for the most part, Biblioscape has managed to do this. It allows you to annotate a reference while reading the full text, and use your annotations later in a draft. When you write, all the references you collected are right on the screen. You can just drag and drop references to the place you wish to cite. There is no need to worry about the formatting of references; Biblioscape will handle that automatically when you are done writing. Biblioscape tries to provide an integrated environment for researchers, so all the information collected and produced for your research is stored in one database. This will make the most efficient workflow possible.
