If they ever get their funding together, Docear could become a space where you can research, organize, and write an article.
DLib has not really caught on elsewhere, it is featured as part of JabRef and specifically powers the article recommendation function. DLib or Machine-readable digital library cataloging.

To enjoy the full capability of this software you also have to download PDF X-change viewer, though you can still do some annotating with other less supported PDF editors. Specifically, a combination of Jabref (without the OpenOffice support) and Freeplane for mind maps, and, depending on what type of PDF viewer you use, a document annotation software. Docear staff like to compare the software to Zotero and Mendeley, but it’s a very different type of beast. The examples on the app itself for trying out the mind map and PDF capability incorporate some of the research behind the product itself and makes for an informative, if somewhat meta, experience. Docear provides plenty of support and useful instructions through their official user manual.
It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux computers. That being said, in the worst case scenario, Docear is an open source project and if things went south, you could still get your information out. If you are considering relying on this software for organizing very long term research projects you need to use an external cloud backup service as their My Docear service is no longer available and supported if it ever existed at all.ĭocear is an open source mind mapping, reference, and citation management software for those who want a visual way to keep their research organized.
However, the researchers behind this project are still active.
Docear youtube update#
Though, the most recent major update to the software was in 2015, and based on the forums it seems that Docear has struggled with finding funding. We’ve talked about Docear the Visual Citation Manager on the blog before, before my time, but it’s been a while we’ll revisit it.
