In the 'notes' section, there is a difference between: The comparison includes older applications that may no longer be supported, as well as actively-maintained software. After googling, have only found reviews from 2012-2015 so I figured to ask - for academic papers (i.e.The following tables compare notable reference management software. downloaded from Pubmed, ArXiv, etc), I have historically been 'using' Papers but I've always found it slow and clunky. Have heard good reviews re DevonThink, and figured to see if there were opinions here from people who have used one, or both (or another PDF library organizer).

Vs.say.iBooks?ĮDIT - just found out that Papers got acquired by ReadCube - have not had experience w/ that at all.thoughts? READCUBE PAPERS PAPERPILE PDF I've been using Papers since Mekentosj asked for beta testers in 2007. It was brilliant, if somewhat limited at first. And while I still love it and use it every day, it's become slow, feature-encrusted, buggy and several features that used to work well are now unusable (e.g. importing large collections, finding duplicate papers, etc.). I blame this on it's move to cross-platform compatibility, but my rather substantial library (~12 GB), slow network connection (the library is on my dropbox, so I can share it across devices), and antiquated hardware (2009 iMac, 2011 MBP, and 2012 iPad Mini) may be exacerbating the performance issues.īut even with these increasingly frustrating issues, I've still not found anything better.Īs a FYI, Readcube purchased Papers about a year ago, and all development (aside from bug fixes) for Papers3 has ceased so currently there are no plans for future improvements or versions of Papers on any of the OSes. They are only issuing minor bug fixes to address major problems and are working to transition Papers3 over to the Readcube platform.

READCUBE PAPERS CHROME LICENSE

We have a license in my lab group for both Papers3 and Readcube. Readcube has missed 3 promised deadlines for improved features and bugfixes so our license has been extended each time for free.

Specifically, the group collaboration features are browser only, and really only supported in Chrome. They were supposed to release a Papers -> readcube conversion tool to preserve tags and collections, but have not released it (was supposed to be out by November). There are also some major bugs in how certain references are matched up and are nearly impossible to fix in a library once they start.

Finally, Readcube was supposed to take their citation manager out of beta in October and is still in beta an very unreliable. We used to use Mendeley, but they got rid of their team plans (that we paid a lot for) so we had no choice to but to find a new solution. We are currently considering going back to EndNote, as much as this pains me, but there has been so much instability with other PDF/reference managers. It'd help if you explained your workflow.
