I have been using Qiqqa since 2010 and found it one of its kind. One other reference manager, literature management software can match the functionality provided by Qiqqa. It helped me immensely in my Literature and thesis writeup. Searching through a huge database of literature is made so easy by Qiqqa that you will be amazed. Highly recommended for researchers.
I have tried many bibliographic management software. Qiqqa is the best.
So disappointed with this. Having used it before it went open source, it seems to have stagnated. the last full release was more than 2 years ago, there are quite a few "unpublished" versions which are still glitchy. Qiqqa offers an idea solution for research not matched by the other out there. the lack of development indicate it has stalled (if it ever really took off!) Such a shame !
I love Qiqqa because it is an exceptional research manager with outstanding capabilities.
Our Head of R&D did an extensive analysis of different tools. qiqqa clearly stood out of the crowd. Thanks for this great enabler!
I've been using it for years and recommend it to my students. Periodically, I search for alternatives, but I haven't found one as good as Qippa.
It's a powerful manager. Tried to switch to Mendeley, which is much worse, due to a problem (very large CPU use inv 79. ) V. 83 seems to work smoothly, so I am back.
Qiqqa allows to add missing bibtex, easily cite. Textifies .pdf. Powerful ORC.
