   Zotero vs PaperShip Comments

   Negative comment by Guest · Jun 4, 2019

   Zotero functions to compile metadata for research papers, pdfs, etc. but offers no annotation features for pdfs. Papership, before Shazino went under stopped updating the app, provided the annotation features missing from Zotero while interfacing with Zotero to allowing access to research-paper metadata and stored pdfs.
