   Zotero vs Docear Comments

   Positive comment by John Fastman · Dec 30, 2016

   Zotero is a partial alternative for Docear. Docear is an open source blend of mind-mapping and reference management for academic writing. Zotero manages references, like Docear it's integrated to word processing software and has a great browser plugin to extract metadata from articles. But it lacks the mind-mapping component. Docear can integrate with Zotero, too, so you can benefit from the power of both.
