The three most distinct features of Docear are:ġ. If you are interested in reference management, you might want to have a look at Docear. Today, we released version 1.0 of Docear after a ~2 year beta phase.

I am one of the founders of Docear, which is a new software for organizing, creating, and discovering academic literature.

Ironically, almost everything I’ve wrote in the conclusion can be solved by a professional programmer say in a few days, but where is he/she? If Zotero will have the level of metadata extraction similar to Mendeley, and it will make all the necessary steps automatically (inserting a new file from the predefined directory, fetching the metadata if available, and renaming this file according to the metadata), then Zotero will win. In conclusion, if Mendeley will add advanced search, and external note editor, I will stick with it.

The Bibtex citation key is not editable.

I just hate the user interface, and how many actions I should do to make it work the way I want.

Each PDF file is saved in different random directory.Renaming is not done automatically, but needs user command.Extraction is not made automatically, but needs user command.Google scholar locks for a few hours after extracting ~20 papers.The “related” connections between notes and papers.Saves web pages, or any sort of information.Citation count available (plugin for firefox version only).A crappy notes editor is still my biggest concern.

UPDATE: In the version 1.0 the mostly wanted feature of sub-categories was implemented, but not much beyond this. I sincerely believe that scientists should respect the work the Mendeley team actually do, and not what they say they do. Their blog is flooded with hype “how good we are”, “our banquets”, and “spread the word” slogans.

The most important: after a year of a very active phase and impressive progress in the development of the soft (and a lot of praises from the scientific community), Mendeley team have probably decided that this is enough to sell themselves, and the last three months I haven’t seen a single important new feature implemented.

Citation count (the number of citations for each paper) is unavailable.

For example if you copy/paste you image into Mendeley note, it is shown as icon, and if you copy/paste your note back to say Word processor, then you see the image as usual. The interesting thing is that it is able to save any sort of information, like images, but you can’t see them in Mendeley.

Notes pane is horrible: text only, with “bold” and “underline” modifiers.

500MB data storage + 500MB groups storage.

Metadata extraction is better, and the amount of extracted papers, until the Google scholar locks, is much larger.

The information on papers is automatically updated from the users input.

Ergonomic interface, without too much buttons to press….

The renamed files are relocated automatically into a single place (directory).

Renames the files automatically using the extracted paper Author/Date/Paper title.

Automatically adds the PDF files from selected directories.

Nice guides for Mendeley are available here: Mendeley Guides. Both of them are free, in active development phase, and able to extract PDF metadata.

Both have pros and cons, and I still can’t decide with which one of them I will live long and happy life. Mendeley and Zotero are both bibliography managers used by a wide audience.
