mendeley vs endnote vs zotero vs refworks

Has some issues adding tags to groups, not very intuitive. Can easily create groups and share documents securely both in the desktop and web platforms.

Can open PDFs and add notes and highlights.

It is always worth double checking to make sure all the info is correct. Generally very good, but I have had some issues with more obscure journals.

Automatically reads pdfs and identifies t he author, title, journal and other information.

Imports refs easily into word using plug in, no need to come out of Word but needs Mendeley desktop to be open.

Can use Import to Mendeley in all browsers to take web snapshots.

It does not work with every academic database, but the only one I have had a problem with is Science Direct due to unknown file type. It will also keep track of any saved files in a specific folder and import new items automatically.

Easy to use and import files either from your documents or from the web. Uses existing citation management links and imports to Mendeley, egīibTeX, RIS and EndNote™ XML files.
