Staying on top of the literature, even in a narrow field, is one of the biggest challenges we face in research today. Do you have an ever-growing pile of astro-ph papers on your desk you’ve meaning to read? Yeah, we all have that. In recent years a number of software packages and web applications have come on the market to help researchers organise their literature: Papers, Reference Manager, Jabref, and Zotero. Past AstroBetter posts have introduced Papers and discussed Papers vs. BibDesk. A recent addition that’s been getting good press lately is London-based Mendeley.[...]
I wrote a guest post on literature-management-slash-science.fm-software Mendeley for the Astrobetter blog. Go read it here!
More screenshots are in my public Astrobetter notebook, alongside those I did for the Evernote post.
Sarah – that looks interesting. I have been using Zotero for some time, but will give this a go.
Looks like the Mendeley link in your Astrobetter comment is broken.
Ah updated it. Thanks!
