Zotero
4.2
(5)
"Zotero all day every day especially if you integrate it into your browser."
"It’s really easy to add notes and even link the note to the specific sentence in the paper."
"Zotero is a citation manager that comes with a few organisation tricks like collections and tags, and you can also read and annotate pdfs in the app."
"It takes a few days to get the hang of it and to set everything up but then it's a great tool to work with a lot of literature."
"I missed the memo about switching from Mendeley to Zotero."
#2
Gigwell

"Dirac is nice and probably the most accessible for the masses."
