Introduction

Inevitably, when choosing software products the temptation is to look for a product that has all possible features built into one product.  The reality is that each product has some useful unique features and any choice forces you to forego some features that you may find really useful. In this brief review of these two products I have tried to highlight some of the nice touches in each and also mention missing or poorly presented functions. The relative importance of many of the features in these products will depend on the particular way that researchers work, and, in some cases on their subjects, so the final choice will be a very personal one.  EndNote                                               Reference Manager
