I checked it out and I’m really impressed! If they also had a way to display the references in a sidebar, it’d be near perfect. Have you tried the new Pubmed Reader? I’ve only looked at it briefly, but seems like a really beautiful reading experienece, and the way it shows figures in the bar at the bottom seems awesome, since my biggest issue with reading on a screen is still flipping back and forth to the figures. I really wish I could mash Papers, Mendeley, and Readcube all together into one feature-rich program… But I might try Readcube some more, mainly because of the awesome ability to see all the references and the paper simultaneously. I’m not ready to give up on Papers for reading (and I’ve been using Mendeley for Word citations, because it has really nice collaborative features). The screenshot above is from Papers fullscreen view, which is how I really like to read PDFs.īut Readcube is still in beta, and they’re starting from a really nice starting point. ![]() I don’t see a way to read in full screen nor does it let you view two pages simultaneously, like Papers does. It doesn’t have a way to insert citations into a Word document, like Papers and Mendeley does, although you can export to Endnote. Other than that, Readcube is quite feature poor. From my quick scan, the recommendations seem pretty good. The final interesting feature is that Readcube offers recommendations based on your library. It makes an excellent reading experience! More importantly, it displays the references in the sidebar. The really cool feature is that Readcube automatically downloads the references and the supporting information documents and can display them at a click of a button. The article data downloads seamlessly for most papers, and interface is quite beautiful: I did so because Nature has been using it built into their site, and I like how it displaying PDFs. I recently tried Readcube, which is a PDF reader and organizer. ![]() Readcube review Apat 11:45 am | sam | literature, software
