Writing a poster on collaborative opportunities for citation software (not just bibliographies anymore :p). Comparing EndNote, RefWorks, Zotero and Mendeley. Aspects considering so far: Share/store PDFs, uni affiliation needed, mobile options, push to social network, create style for a specific paper, find colleagues, journal TOC RSS

Lily, Sir Shuping is just sir, RudĩϐЯaЯïan and LB: #TeamMonique liked this
Anything glaring that I'm missing?

Group work. I know Zotero will do it, at least.
- RepoRat
Shared folders or soemthing else? RefWorks is also pretty good with shared folders
- Hedgehog
Shared folders, I guess.
- RepoRat
In some cases search might be important? I know that Zotero actually indexes your PDFs so you can search across you whole library, I don't believe RefWorks does and am unsure about the others.

Endnote doesn't do such indexing to my best knowledge.

Mendeley's desktop tool does some nice shiny PDF scraping when I tried uploading. Managed to get most of the details right.
- Hedgehog
But god help you you if try to save a web page (or a D-Lib article, same difference).

Hmmm...not so much on the Import to Mendeley button huh? I had decent luck with a PubMed article (bane of my RefWorks Uni existence) but yeah no on the DLib --eta, RefGrabit does an equally crappy job
- Hedgehog
Zotero works a dream. Well, it doesn't seem to cope with the article page, but if you import from the issue ToC page, it works fine.
- DJF
Zotero grabbed it just fine. And Endnote doesn't have that function at all. Wish I could get the serious Researchers (capital R) to try something new...
- Hedgehog
I had to bite my tongue today listening to a librarian bitch about RefWorks going away.
- RepoRat
i'd add a criteria about being able to dump in a pile of PDFs and have some kinda of metadata lookup. in Zotero it's got the super sexy name of "Retrieve Metadata for PDF"

RefWorks has commenting on shared stuff. I wish they also let you allow people to edit shared stuff, but no.

Endnote does index the pdf s once you attach it so you can search inside, they added it for x4 I think.. I did a blog post last year I think comparing how good endnote, zotero, mendeley was at figuring out the citation from pdf files, though probably outdated by now.

Aaron, I've been using your blog posts as some of my basis for this project. :) Mendeley does a decent job of scraping.
- Hedgehog
Other ideas that I've had research teams ask me about when making their choice: customizable fields. Ways of sorting, organizing, tagging, commenting to manage collaborators' work. Storage space for files. Offline access.

Still working on this fracking poster (Thank you Megan for the offline access...hadn't thought about that one) . I didn't want to do a chart but I can't come up with a better way for some of this stuff....
