nXr
nXr reference manager breaks away from the existing managers by optimally integrating three modules (nXr.iNote, nXr.iLibrary and nXr.iCite) to facilitate:
- Faster note and image collection in a note and image searchable library
- Direct citation based on notes, images as well as article titles for accurate citing or quoting.
- Easy sharing of all cited materials (e.g., notes or images) for easy and accurate reviewing and reading.
You can also create a single user–group switchable library for your research group which automatically anonymously integrate all group articles and annotations and make them available to all group users.
To become the best reference manager equipped with next-generation tools for performing reproducible impactful research by managing information overload, nXr strives to incorporate new features supported by data analytics and AI.
