    Moved away from Zotero to Wikindx on a personal RasPi server which is now accessible anywhere. Amazing feature set, 10/10 would recommend (especially since I believe true data ownership is the most crucial thing in Academia/Research). Granted, you do need minor knowledge of how web dev and databases work, which can be learnt quick or be expedited to any IT department. I was able to do it, since I work in CompSci, but this can be a deterrent to people in other fields maybe. Regardless, the setup is quite quick and easy as long as the documentation is followed to a T, especially if you're on a UNIX-based system (Linux or macOS, for example).

    Thanks for the review! Just to supplement your advice regarding installation. If you wish to run your WIKINDX without accessing it on a network (or WWW), then it does help to have a little knowledge of setting up an apache, mysql, and PHP server—but there are many packages that will install and manage all of this with very little effort on your part (see the WIKINDX documentation for guides). If you do wish to be able to access your WIKINDX from a network, or share the WIKINDX with a research team, then yes, an IT department should be able to do this for you. Alternatively, do what I do and pay a few dollars a year for a domain name and external hosting—just check that the external hosting service can provide apache, mysql, and PHP that are up-to-date enough (again, see the WIKINDX documentation).

    After some problems with the initial installation, but with the excellent support of the team, I am very happy to have this tool running on my server. All features needed are there, now I just need to fill the database. CMS is working with wordpress and a small (unofficial) plugin. My recommendation for the installation: use SVN!

    Knocks spots off commercial software. And I'm amazed I'm allowed to review my own software ;)

    Best bibliographic tool out there. Tried a few others, but this is definitely the best, considering features and extensibility. Thumbs up!

    Of all open source bibliography systems this is by far the most advanced and best in making your data accessible to your users. Great flexibility for adapting its interface to your corporate design.

    Best bibliographic system yet available. I tested a lot and this is simply the one that meets the expectations. New version is even better than before. And the support is really excellent

    probably a great product once you have it up and running, but an absolute nightmare to install. I don't get it and am not sure if I ever will. I am your average computer literate user but this is impossible.

    I'm using it for 2 separate projects. I found it challenging but lovely and easily integrable to an LMS. Mohamed

    I've gone through a good 10 open source bibliographic projects and chose this because it does most of what I need: straightforward EndNote import, easy RTF export.

    Great for sharing bibliographies with collaborators!
