Reseñas y detalles del producto de ReadCube

Muchas formas diferentes de anotar el texto entre resaltar, subrayar y agregar notas. La extensión de Chrome te permite fácilmente agregar artículos a tu biblioteca y ordenarlos por subcategoría. Fue muy fácil de descargar e implementar y lo uso todo el tiempo. Muy agradable tener la aplicación en iPhone y iPad para estar conectado todo el tiempo y en movimiento.

A veces no encontrará el PDF del artículo añadido aunque el PDF esté disponible, por lo que hay algunos errores allí. También desearía que las notas tuvieran más opciones de personalización disponibles. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

me da la oportunidad de tener toda mi biblioteca al alcance de mi mano. La nueva función au parece irreal Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

This version only reads pdf documents. I am waiting for an update to import other kind of files. In addition the smart importation became less smart against the Papers version. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

It's a functioning paper management software... It can help organizing large collections of research articles, book chapters, and so on... Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

The software is missing key features that were present in Papers 2 and 3, making it much less competitive to other paper management programs such as Mendeley. I started using Papers 2 when I was in grad schol (~2013). It had everything that a researcher needed! Ability to download articles from journal websites; parse the metadata; store pdfs for each paper; find duplicate papers, journals, authors; add and modify journal abbreviations; easy ways to manage citekeys and create bibtex files for referencing. I was extremely satisfied with it back then. Few years after, Papers 3 was introduced. Earlier versions were not great with many key features missing and lots of bugs. But the software got eventually better, with many features listed above restored or fixed.

Papers ReadCube is a complete departure from the previous versions. Despite several years in production, the program still lacks the basic features that the earlier versions had! For example, it is not possible to find duplicate papers, journals, or authors. Modifying journal abbreviations for batches of papers cannot be done, one has to do that one paper at a time. Try doing this when you have ~10000 papers in your repository!

There is no easy way to collect papers for individual authors, other than searching for their names in the search field. What the developers do not realize is that many authors have the same last names and that finding their papers with a simple search does not help. Also, every now and then, one has to modify authors' names. In Papers 2 and 3, one could collect papers written by the same author together, which would automatically correct their name spellings. This feature no longer exists in Papers ReadCube.

Another huge issue is supporting special symbols in titles or author names. In Papers 2 and 3, those special symbols would be recognized and converted to the Latex math format, allowing for seemless conversion into the bibtex format. This is no longer the case: Papers ReadCube would simply include the special symbols in the bibtex files without converting into the Latex math format, which would break every Latex compilation.

I have found many complaints online with researchers requesting the features described above. However, it is clear that the developers are not listening to these requests. Papers ReadCube is an example of a software that is developed by programmers with complete disregard of their customer needs.

The only reason why I kept my subscription in the last two years is that I have a large papers database that would otherwise be difficult to port over. However, with the help of tools like Mendeley and JabRef I will soon be able to stop using Papers ReadCube for good. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Administración y almacenamiento de todos mis artículos revisados en mis investigaciones. Así como ser compatible con ENDNOTE, dándome superpoderes que mejoran mis habilidades, dando ventajas sobre mis colaboradores. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

En general todo me gusta, tal vez una nueva renovación que incluye IA para la post producción de artículos. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I like the interface. I have been using ReadCube since it started and am very satisfied with its options. It allows me to store and sort my papers with easy online access on the web in case I don´t have my laptop with me. I also use it to read and highlight literature and export citations almost every day.

The customer support is very fast and friendly. Once, I had problems exporting the literature from my previous software, and they solved the issue quickly. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

What I dislike about ReadCube is the exporting options for PDF files. Sometimes, I just need to send an email attaching the papers, and by now (as far as I know), it is not possible to export a list of papers. You have to export each paper to PDF independently.

There are so many things that Readcube gets right: the unlimited cloud storage for articles (i have > 3100), the search capability for your own library, the recommended articles feature can lead you down a rabbit hole very easily.

The PDF annotation option is great, and I love the ability to export my annotations to TXT or CSV. This makes sending my notes to other apps like Obsidian or Apple Notes easy.

I realize AI is in beta, but this has been amazing once I figured out how to incorporate it into my workflow. Asking "describe the study design", the PICO questions, "using bullet points, outline the experimental methodology" gives back accurate and repeatable answers and makes overall literature review a breeze.

I do like the browser extension, but some open-source articles cant download through it. This is the publishers issue though, not really Readcube's. RSNA journals is a good example of this.

The integration between the desktop app, iOS app and web app is seamless. I dont think any other reference manager gets this as perfectly as Readcube does. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I'm all in on team Readcube, but there are a few things I would like to see:

- Software updates seem sporadic. There was a long time (over a year I think) when Readcube/Papers got NO updates and started to feel like abandonware. I think Digital Science got the message and started really working on Readcube in 2023, but now it feels like we're in a lull again. Even if its just small tweaks and big fixes, it would be reassuring to know that there is attention to development.

- Although functionally, there is not too much distance between the web version and the app, its definitely noticeable where there is a difference. For example, the AI module is only available on the web. The app is much quicker to show up hits when I do keyword searches in my library, while the web version takes longer to return less results. I can link to articles from Obsidian/Apple Notes/Evernote from the web, but not with the app.

- The database search is REALLY opaque. Am I searching Pubmed? MedarXiv? Do I need to use Pubmed syntax? Something else? I have no idea. There's no real answer, and I cant trust the results as much as I could just going to Pubmed or Scopus. I also can't save my searches, making keeping up with the latest articles a function of using Pubmed email alerts.

- I wish it used the PDFKit standard. Annotations I might make in another PDF reader do not carry over to Readcube or the other way around. If I do make annotations in another PDF reader, I wind up with multiple copies of the same article in my local Readcube folder, and the cloud storage only saves the Readcube annotations. It's a bit of a mess and makes my workflow a little more convoluted. Switching to PDFKit would also GREATLY facilitate using a program like Hookmark to create links between my annotations. I can do this with the web version, but not with the app. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

La interfaz de usuario es realmente cómoda junto con el lector de PDF integrado. Me gusta que combine mucha información en un solo lugar donde puedes extraer cifras, ver citas junto con el contexto en el que se citó la fuente. También me gusta el espacio de almacenamiento en la nube ilimitado para mantener mi biblioteca accesible desde diferentes dispositivos sin preocuparme por clonar la biblioteca o copiar mis notas.

Los enlaces clicables en el navegador web integrado y mi navegador preferido. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Grandes características en el cliente web y de escritorio y sincronización con mis dispositivos móviles. La función de búsqueda y la importación de PDF funcionan bien, si no siempre, y los complementos de Word son buenos. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Hay un énfasis extraño en las bibliotecas compartidas limitadas en lugar de importar a las otras bibliotecas cuando haces clic derecho. Eso es un poco molesto. Las características de inteligencia artificial son un gran comienzo, pero aún son bastante rudimentarias sin poder trabajar mejor en varios documentos. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Me encanta poder leer, anotar y agrupar mis artículos de investigación de una manera fácil. ReadCube hace que sea muy conveniente organizar todos los artículos de investigación que leo y cito en mi propia investigación, haciendo que el proceso de citación sea mucho más fácil.

La herramienta de resaltado puede ser difícil de usar. Es difícil resaltar la parte correcta, especialmente si pasa a la página siguiente. Ese es el único inconveniente que he notado repetidamente. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

It works and is integrated with the web browser nicely Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

All good, but the new UI design is not pretty. The old design is much better!!

Also, a bit expensive. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
