EndNoteX

Okay.  We know it's a drag to try and keep a relevant, accurate, and comprehensive publication database for reference when you're writing your own papers.  That's why we're providing one here:

NanoInk EndNote Library  (rev 1/14/08)

This is a compilation of our above literature databases, indexed in EndNote, and easily integrated with MS Word, etc.  Enjoy!


Getting Started?

Review papers are always a great way to familiarize yourself with a given research area.  In a shameless act of self-promotion, we invite you to read:
