Papers for Windows Pre-release

The reference management system Papers has been only available for Mac/iOS so far. But Mekentosj released a pre-version for Windows. The pre-release is available at http://www.mekentosj.com/papers/win. To compare the Mac and PC version please see the Comparison & Compatibility page by Mekentosj.

Papers has a very nice and easy to use interface. The internal browser helps you to download articles (references + pdf) without leaving Papers. Using the web interface of the “Livfe” collection you may share your collection with colleagues or discover new papers. You can search and cite literature with the citation tool directly from your Papers library when writing — in almost any application such as Word, PowerPoint etc.
