I love that it can automatically change the reference style with zero effort and it can find the paper I want to cite by title DOI, link, whatever I throw at it. I reecently stumbled on a bug after Google updated - the Paperpile support team were really responsive, provided a work around and then got back to me when they had patched the software. Overall, just a stellar experience and I'll be using Paperpile for years to come. > > **Cons**: Not much to dislike. At most, it would be that every now and then the ciation is imported incorrectly, but given the multitude of formats that papers come in these days I find that a forgivable fault. > > Great. It's a very user friendly tool, can be integrated into both GoogleDocs and Word and prevents me from messing up my references. I also love that it can change citation styles with pretty much a click of a button. ----- ### "Solid reference manager and citation tool" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *20 August 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its ability to add new papers (e.g., automatically pull papers from Google Scholar) is pretty good, better than competitor's products for the most part. Also, synchronization across devices is quite good. > > **Cons**: The iPad version is not as robust in adding new papers. I find myself having to go onto a desktop/laptop machine to do that, even if the need arises while on my iPad. ----- ### "Pros and cons" — 3.0/5 > **Aly** | *25 August 2021* | Research | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to use and the interface looks clean and simple. > > **Cons**: (1) Sometimes when I tried to add a paper from a web page \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], although you can see that the readers can simply download the PDF from the website, after I saved it to Paperpile it always says no PDF found so I would have to manually download it and then upload it to Paperpile. (2) Cannot rotate pages when viewing PDFs in Paperpile. ----- ### "Easy to use and ideal for managing libraries" — 5.0/5 > **Shawn** | *25 August 2021* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very easy to use both in Word and in Google Docs. Very easy to import papers and manage libraries for different projects. Much less glitchy than other programs and imports paper metadata with much fewer errors compared to other commonly used software. > > **Cons**: It still is much easier to use with google docs than Word. It is still hard to justify the cost of this program compared to free alternatives. Managing libraries for different projects could be a little easier. ----- ### "Essential and indispensable ingredient of team science" — 5.0/5 > **Babak** | *25 August 2021* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Collaborative research requires an ecosystem of knowledge sharing and team-based writing. Could writing platforms are gaining popularity and it requires integration with citation managers. Paperpile is the best so far. > > **Cons**: Search capacity is very limited. You can not perform advanced search to find the reference you need. However, if you know what you need or the size of library is small (\<200 articles) this is not a huge limitation. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/269853/paperpile?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/269853/paperpile) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
