our lab and research manager made us use zotero because it was usable on everything, including our old as hell windows xp lab computers. but it was very convenient as it formed the reference list automatically. a very good tool indeed

Not really relevant for your workflow, but Blender is an Open Source GOAT that deserves a mention. Best piece of software I have ever used, it is mind-blowing how much better it is than its crazy expensive, proprietary alternatives.

Never seen you before in my life, but I loved this stripped-down, no-nonsense list. Thank you for not filling each section with bluster and fluff.

2:13 Mendeley employs a “freemium” model, but it’s leaps and bounds better than Zotero. The free version still gives you everything Zotero gives.
