. . . a robust, smooth-running program that's exceptionally easy to use. If you've been put off by the . . . complexity and unfriendliness of database management programs, you'll find Citation to be a refreshing exception. . . Once you find out what this program can do, it's my guess that you'll want a copy--fast . . .                   Research in Word Processing Newsletter

. . . a fine program with an elegantly balanced set of features. In effect, Citation's general design philosophy provides for a writing environment where one may manipulate note cards and bibliographical references with considerable functionality. . .

A very exciting feature of Citation is the integration of notecards into the datafile. . . . and . . . Citation's bibliography generation is slick. Citation does things that other formatters don't do. For example, in the Chicago style, if editor and translator are the same, Citation doesn't lamely list the name twice; it correctly prefixes the name with "Edited and translated by." Another plus is that when the user specifies a page number in her Access Key, that page will substitute for any pages given in the database for the note; while in the bibliography, the full page numbers will be given. For intext citations: . . . Citation lets users . . . suppress the author's name or year . . for styles where parts of the in-text citation are suppressed depending on the context. It is wonderful to see this attention to detail. [Citation] has a number of features that should be the envy of its competitors-- especially its slick integration with the major word processors and its "preview box," which shows a "live" formatted reference for the current entry in the datafile. The formatting is simply wonderful. The major packages all brag about their formatting power, but Citation is the only one that can't be stumped.                               J Norman, Chorus

. . . the clear, well-organized documentation includes a tutorial section that other software developers would do well to emulate.                  Computing and Instructional Technology

Those who take extensive notes . . . will appreciate Citation's bibliographic and cross-referencing talents . . . If you're a full-time researcher, . . . or just someone with a ream of notes to organize, you'll probably find Citation the antidote for the notecard shuffle.                              PC World
