I’ve recently written about the paper Academic Search Engine Optimization in Google Scholar authored by Jöran Beel and now he shared the software he is developing with me. It integrates mind mapping with reference and PDF management.
Are you using mind mapping tools such as MindManager, FreeMind or XMind? And reference management tools such as JabRef, Endnote, or Zotero? And do you sometimes even create bookmark in PDFs? Then you should have a look at SciPlore MindMapping.
SciPlore MindMapping is the first mind mapping tool focusing on researchers’ needs by integrating mind mapping with reference and pdf management. SciPlore MindMapping offers all the features one would expect from a standard mind mapping software, plus the following features for researchers:
Adding Reference Keys Manually
Adding Reference Keys (BibTeX) Automatically
PDF Bookmark Import
Monitoring Folders for new PDFs
You can download the tool here.
This looks smart, Berci. I use Zotero on and off. I’d sure like to try this out. Thanks and Cheers!
Hi, Berci, thanks for this post. Mind mapping is extremely useful and I’ve been looking for a free web tool
