"The best bibliography software I tested"

5/5

What do you like best about ReadCube?

Search, sorting and sync are excellent and UI is efficient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadCube?

The layout and shortcuts don't follow all Mac and especially iOS standards. The categories don't satisfy my needs (basically: paper, book, book chapter, presentation, poster) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A GREAT EXPERIENCE IN PAPERS!"

5/5

What do you like best about ReadCube?

1. I love the search function (local or online), nearly every paper you can find.

2. I love the export function. I used to save and manage papers on Endnote, but finally, I found it uneasy to export.

3. I love the reading function, which is like a PDF reader! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadCube?

Of course, there is something worth improving.

1. Sometimes, the PDF reader in Papers doesn't work well.

2. It should be better if I can delete the repeating papers one time.

3. Is there any way to automatically detect which of my posts are duplicated? I hope I can see it in the future.

4. When I delete duplicate papers, it always keeps asking me if I've deleted them, even though I already have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"very impressive experience"

5/5

What do you like best about ReadCube?

In general, this management tool is effortless to use. I can import articles easily. By creating relevant lists, articles can be archived systematically. And I can also make annotations anywhere. Furthermore, we can export all the annotations, which can quickly help us refresh our memory about the important ideas of the article when we read the article several weeks later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadCube?

I am positive about almost all the functions of Papers. The further improvement may be that we can write something directly next to the paragraph or sentences, which can make these notes more visible to our eyes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Simple and Efficient Research Organizer"

5/5

What do you like best about ReadCube?

Readcube Papers is accessible and synchronized on all my devices, my iPad, mobile, and PC. It allows separate file storages within the application which allows me to organize for different research projects. The app works fast and efficiently. I can also use its citing tool on MS Word, making referencing easy in parallel with my reading processes. I think it's a must-have, especially for early researchers like me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadCube?

Using the citing app (SmartCite) within MS Word can occasionally slow down the PC. Also, it would be great if there's an option to share my notes on a paper with others (non-subscribers) through a "view-only" sharing option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"True better than endnote"

5/5

What do you like best about ReadCube?

If you highlight anything in the pdf file, it can generate an annotation list. This helps so much when I try to browse through all my papers. Also I love they could download the si figures and file for you directly. Importing and labeling papers are also easier than endnotes. Even if we have free endnotes through the university I'll still choose this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadCube?

There is only one tiny issue. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I used it wrong. Normally how I use it is to download pdf and import it into the library, after that I delate the file to the download folder. I think for other similar software, they would generate a library folder and copy your pdf to that folder, so you're safe to clean up the download folder. But here, if I have done so, it has to redownload pdf from the Internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ReadCube papers is very helpful for academic writing!!!"

4/5

What do you like best about ReadCube?

While reading, you can highlight inside the pdf files and quickly check all the highlighted sentences later in the library without reopening the pdf file, which helps save a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadCube?

Not all journals support checking the reference list while looking at the main text. And sometimes, it's annoying that the notification bumps out so often of updating reminders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly recommend readcube for student or researchers"

5/5

What do you like best about ReadCube?

The best feature of the ReadCube is it runs smoothly across different devices, I can access literature anywhere easily from my iPad or mobile, and quickly share and discuss with colleagues. Compared to other literature managing applications, the user interface is beautiful and friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadCube?

I can not really point out something specific that I dislike, but it will be great in the future to have a visual graph feature to show the connection between literature, for the user to find out what field is the hub of the field or what topics are lack of research.

"Excellent Cross-platform Reference Manager"

5/5

What do you like best about ReadCube?

I find it useful that I can get PDFs via my instutional credentials. I like that I can export my citations through Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadCube?

I do not like how the sentence-case, journal abbreviations, and author initials are not consistent. I would like more variations of popular citation styles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
