Hello Forum,
I am currently working with endnote, but am rather fed up with it. I find it very annoying that I can not access document folders, and have to guess my way through the library folders if i want to find any of my PDFs again. Further more deleting a reference will NOT delete the actual PDF in the library. So while being quite usefull for finding references and including them into word, I find I have no control over my actual library and little to no chance to pass on a selection of files to colleagues.
I am looking for a software that
- allows me easy access to my actually stored files
- does sort my files according to author/title or any other useful format (endnote simply uses the filename, effectively meaning I need to manually rename ANY pdf I download)
- works well with MS word
- allows importing endnote citations and/or libraries (since that seems to be the standard format on scientific webpages)
Annotation function over program borders would be useful as well.
I have recently been using calibre to manage downloaded ebooks, and while not adaptable for citations, have to say that this free(!!!) software offers all these options, while endnote costs a fair bit while being as practical as a dead cat.
Cheers
