Nope, not papers as in publications, but Papers<\/a> as in the product of two enthousiastic biochemists<\/a> (page not updated recently). Just today, this morning, Papers version 1.1 was released, meaning it is in active development.<\/p>\n

Papers is a sort of library manager, like Bibdesk<\/a>. However, its purpose deviates from that of Bibdesk, and (hopefully, after tighter integration development), can be used side-by-side. Perhaps Papers can be better described as a scientific article reading workflow integrator thingie. It allows you to easily match articles with information (meta-data), and it organises the PDF library according to your preferences in a comprehensive directory and file structure.<\/p>\n

Then it allows you to go fullscreen. Fullscreen should really have been written with a capital F, because if you want, you only see the contents of the PDF file on your screen, no clutter or anything else. Info- and note-windows and control bars can be made to appear if wished, but perhaps the uncluttered version is what we need to enjoy reading our articles on a screen.<\/p>\n

It has a good integration with PubMed, which is not really of interest to non-bio or -med folk. It does have an internal browser plugin (which uses Safari), with which you can search for what you want, and upon encountering a PDF file, (allows you to) downloads it automatically, and adds it with its metadata to the library. <\/p>\n

It has some more functionality, but if you\u2019re interested, head over to their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are still some usability issues here and there, but all in all, this package shows much promise! I have requested a few more features here and there, and it\u2019d be interesting to see if they will appear. So far, response from the authors has been swift, personal and informative. <\/p>\n

Oh, by the by, students get a 40% discount on the total price of 29 euros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
