Zotero allows you to view and annotate attached PDFs with a more in depth PDF viewer than EndNote. If I could take it back I would have saved the money, Zotero is easy to use and doesn't freeze up like EndNote does. I was recently pressured into buying EndNote20, I had been using Zotero. which btw didnt erase all relative folders and content (and to be honest I havent checked for reg entries). Then I uninstalled all Mendeley products. Then Mendeley ref crashed and I kept getting strange window boxes of errors.
Deduplicating was an absolute mess, with missing papers.There was easy way to locate where pdfs were actually being stored, as not all of them were “downloaded” to a mendeley golder on my pc - some yes but some would stay on the initial fokder I had placed them after dl. Many times articles were given info of another random paper, not from within my library, or pdfs were attached to the wrong parent item albeit being renamed as the latter. I then pressed sync online which changed my local library back to square one. However, the sync function was not working properly eg after building a trial library on desktop I synced and the online version did not change. First Mendeley recerence manager - the newer app - which lacks way too many features to be useful, then Mendeley desktop, which is comparable to Zotero in terms of features. I first tried Mendely - it was the one that attracted me most, however after a day of experimentation it drove me nuts.
