Which bibliographic management system do you use?

Posted on by

To help you deciding which one of the many bibliographic management systems to use, the Information Retrieval Services for the Biology and Medicine Section of the MPS offer some helpful information at their newly updated website. The site was particularly expanded by Citavi and Mendeley.

Citavi is a widely used desktop system in Germany. There’s a free Citavi license (limited to max. 100 references) available for Windows. Mendeley can be used with a combined desktop and web version. Mendeley Web allows sharing references with others and a free web space of up to 1GB.
