Having used Zotero, Mendeley and Endnote I ended up on Endnote. I like their metadata scraping, their Word plugin and that many journals offer a pre-configured reference template. But yes as a DBMS it lacks alot in the filter/grouping features and date fields don't convert format intelligently.
- kuhewa 5y agoFirst manuscript in my PhD I just hand-typed the bibliography. But when you get to a few hundred in a document and over 1000 relevant to your work that you want to keep track of, ah and when you need to resubmit manuscripts with a different reference format, and once I made the jump to actually using it and figuring out a few of the quirks, I now quite like Endnote since my institution has a site licence.
- jiggunjer 5y agoYes. Professionals don't hand-edit references in the writing document. Update the template and click refresh. That said, I also use Endnote because it's free for me.
- anakaine 5y agoI quite like Endnote. I'm unsure if Zotero has a Word plugin. In Word, alt-1 click reference, alt-2. Its done. Reference inserted. Bibliography updated. Sweet.
