CG Information was founded in 1997 by scientists who thought that existing bibliographic software programs were not advanced enough to address the needs of researchers in the age of the Internet. With strong backgrounds in computer science, chemistry, and medicine, our goal is to build first class bibliographic software for the 21st century. CG Information is located in Alpharetta, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.
