On a more positive note, if any of your needs include BibTeX, or RMarkdown, Zotero plus plugins full disclosure: one of those plugins is mine give you for free open source even, all of it what others don't give you at any cost. And I'm willing to stake money on that my support is better than Mendeleys'. March 27, Thanks for the replies everyone. You gave me a lot to consider. Now there are still some considerations I hope you guys can I help me with.
Since I am not very tech-savy. I played around with both Mendeley and Zotero. But then the pdf opened in my chrome browser instead of Foxit AND there was no highlighting!
What's going on here? I tried to go through the documentation but it only made matters more confusing? In Mendeley it automatically becomes a citation with a pdf even though most of the citations are wrong since theyre not files with identifiers sometimes 2. How good is Zotero in searching the pdf content? I've heard Mendeley is pretty good at indexing the content within the PDF and I can easily search for the content.
PS: I'm not interested in possible perks they have regarding collab or sharing. It's just my own stuff for my master thesis and possible postdoc inh3 Also, regarding Juris-M, it could be interesting but since I'll mostly work with Dutch law i'm not sure if it is truly more useful than zotero, I am guessing you mostly use international law? March 27, edited March 27, It may also be that Chrome wasn't displaying highlighting properly.
I suggest opening it in a proper PDF program to be sure. Abohaal I have not used Juris-M much, but I think it supports most European jurisdictions pretty well. One other thing: since Mendeley and Zotero use the same underlying citation mechanism CSL , their support for legal research out of the box should be about the same, but with the important caveat that Zotero pulls in stuff from the extra field, as bwiernik mentioned above thanks for the reminder about this!
I don't think Mendeley has anything like that. So from a legal writing point of view, and disregarding the various issues re: data, privacy, corporate behavior, etc which all would tilt in favor of Zotero, I'd say , Mendeley is at best equal to Zotero and in actuality probably a bit worse.
I think Paperpile, which also uses CSL, has a few more reference types baked into their interface so assuming that you use the right CSL style, it can produce proper citations equivalent to the use of Zotero's extra field. But I am guessing that Juris-M would be superior still. Yes Grab citations from databases with the Zotero icon What kind of collaboration features does it offer?
