PhD Candidate Research, 10,001+ employees Used the software for: 2+ years ** Overall Rating 5.0 ** Ease of Use 5.0 Features 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 100% 10/10 Reviewer Source Source: Capterra September 1, 2021 "Easy paper management tool" **Pros:** This software allows you to save papers, along with the PDF copies (if applicable). The phone app works well to integrate browser activity on your desktop - super easy to access papers while on-the-go. I like the "Cite" function, which generates a citation of the paper in a format of choice. **Cons:** The PDF is not always attached to the Paperpile entry, especially if you have to go through a paywall to access an article. In an opposite scenario, sometimes Paperpile is unable to add a paper to the library if you are only looking at the PDF web version of a paper. This is an issue I see when using PubMed and integrating with my institutional access. Vendor Response By Paperpile on September 19, 2021 Thanks for the nice feedback, Irene! The matter of paper access and proxies is a recurring headache for us, one which has proved difficult to diagnose and find treatments solutions for. If you find yourself experiencing import issues very frequently, please feel free to drop us a line about it via chat or email (support@paperpile.com) so we might have a closer look. Diler H.

I just submitted a scientific paper with citations all managed by Paperpile! I will continue to use this. **Pros:** I like the seamless in-text citation ability and the automatic bibliography creation feature. **Cons:** The Paperpile page is slow and takes up too many computing resources. Opening papers to annotate is quite slow and my computer has problems when too many Paperpile tabs are open. **Switched From:** [Mendeley](https://www.capterra.com/p/233913/Mendeley/) **Reasons for Switching to Paperpile:** I liked Paperpile's ability to seamlessly to in-text citation in Google Drive.
