Digital Science
ReadCube Papers has become an indispensable tool for my research. It offers a solution that keeps my library of research articles organized, and has improved the numbers of papers I am reading and annotating. The user-friendly interface simplifies the process of categorizing papers, highlighting essential text, and adding personal notes directly to the documents. The library is available online and through their own in-house application, which has worked perfectly (and much better than other solutions I have tried to use previously). In short, ReadCube Papers has truly improved the way I manage my research materials, making my academic life much more efficient and enjoyable.

Alternatives Considered
Digital Science
The graphic user interface is beautiful; adding literature to a project is a seamless process, annotations while collaborating are intuitive and sometimes even fun. Competitors might be cheaper but do not consolidate all the tools that ReadCube has been able to achieve.

Zenreader Screenshots

Screenshot of PDF Reader with Tagged image and text highlights. The text search panel is open, showing matched words with their surrounding context.Screenshot of Zenreader's Outliner used for creating drafts. Drag and drop highlights directly into the outlines and then export everything. The references engine takes care of the citations and bibliography.Screenshot of Document Kanban Boards: manage your project's work by organising the documents by tags or by moving them to the relevant kanban columns.Screenshot of Zenreader comes with a project history: showing you what you worked on and when. This is great to be able to trace back how much time you have spent and when you reviewed a particular document.
