Discussing Reference Managers

• Mendeley: Cheng hates bc the autopopulation feature doesn't always work right
• Zotero: good at renaming pdfs, but the on-computer storage is in really badly named folders says Cheng
  • has better interface than Mendeley for editing info yourself
• Papers

• EndNote - Matt threw shade on Aaron for even mentioning the name

• RefWorks = Matt threw shade on Ari for even mentioning the name

• ReadCube (has now bought Papers, apparently)

• Many refmans have a word plug-in so you can drag references in and it will automatically keep things correct for you
• Endnote probably is better now than when Matt used it, we assume
• Some managers have ability to create your own tags for references and annotate inside the program
• Good for auto-generating bibliographies and citations

Password Managers

• Get one
• It's better than forgetting all the time or using the same one everywhere

• LastPass

• 1Password
