Looking for Software to Organize your PDF Collection? Consider "Papers."

Labels: , ,

Looking for software to organize your growing collection of PDFs? One of the most popular ones is Papers - sort of an iTunes for PDF journal articles. This commercial application lets you do your PubMed searches, link to the journal website and download the PDF all from within papers. Unlike programs such as EndNote or RefWorks it does not have a bibliography formatting feature but can be used in conjunction with EndNote. As far as I know, it's a Mac OS X application and there's no equivalent version for Windows. And it's not free - costs around $29.

There's a nice review here.
