en This has dramatically improved my workflow as I write research manuscripts. While normally I would not like another file system apart from google drive, filing manuscripts for later review is much easier with paperpile. It is worth every penny of the subscription. The people that run this service also reply very quickly, usually within hours, to my questions.

en Absolutely the best reference manager for the cloud! Bar none. It looks like to get the complete experience, you want the Paperpile app, the Paperpile extension, and the MetaPDF app.

en Welcome to the future. Finally decided to try using Google Docs to do my writing, and Paperpile has been solving the reference management problem quite nicely, probably nicer than traditional desktop options.

en By far the best citation manager I've used. Papers can be added from the browser with a single click, usually the PDF comes too. Missing PDFs can be automatically downloaded. Citations seamlessly integrate in google drive documents. The app layout is intuitive and the buttons are unobtrusive. Customer service is great. Very impressed.

en Really like this tool, easy to write and grab citations from the internet at the same time and organise my reading. Highly recommended. Our institution pays for it and it should be more widely known, it's really helpful.

en Really impressed. This is the best reference manager I have used. I have been able to convert many of my colleagues to it. Probably even more impressive, I was able to write a NIH grant on a chromebook using paperpile and google docs. Just a short time ago that would've been impossible. In the end I did have to convert it to a .doc file to work with collaborators tied to Word and to appease the institution. This conversion from google docs/paperpile to Word/Endnote was easy and flawless thanks to their sidebar add-on. I can't wait for them to release their Word plug-in so I can dump Endnote for good!

pt Estou utilizando os recursos do Paperpile há bastante tempo e estou muito satisfeito! É uma ferramentar incrível, ele organiza todas as citações, gera as referências de acordo com as normas pretendidas, inclusive tem várias normas do Brasil. Utilizava o Latex com bibtex para escrever trabalhos acadêmicos antes de utilizar o paperpile. O Paperpile é muito mais ágil, organizado e com uma interface muito amigável a qualquer usuário. A equipe de suporte é super atenciosa e responde rapidamente as dúvidas!

en Works Great. An offline option would be great in case of field trips where internet is not available.
