             Reference Browser & Reference Maker from PubMed Data

[What is PubMedMaker]
PubMedMaker is bibliography software, similar in principle to EndNote and Pro-Cite. But the 
main objectives are quite different from those of expensive softwares. We aim at easy to use 
and intuitional operation for managing MEDLINE data. You perform a search of the scientific 
literature in PubMed on the Internet and save the search results as a standard text file. 
PubMedMaker converts this text file into a FileMaker Pro database simply by dragging & drop-
ping. Abstracts are displayed with large screen option and paragraphed if they are stractu-
red. You can easily search, make a memo, select and sort literature within FileMaker Pro 
database. Literature references can be formatted and exported with plain text, rich text 
and HTML to conform to the style of scientific journals. PubMedMaker has the function of 
direct link to on-line journal and automatic management of PDF files of literature which 
enable you to decrease your burden to keep track of them.
