RESEARCH USE
Where Paperpile fits
Paperpile uses the browser as a primary collection point, keeps PDFs and references together, and inserts citations in Google Docs or Word. Shared folders and libraries support collaboration. Before submission, check metadata, citation styles, and duplicates, and retain an independent export in BibTeX or another standard format.
Research tasks
- Collect references from academic databases and publisher pages
- Organize, search, read, and annotate PDFs
- Manage citations in Google Docs, Word, or LaTeX workflows
What to evaluate before use
- Paperpile is a paid subscription. Full-text search, annotations, collaboration, and advanced integrations differ by plan.
- Browser extensions and cloud synchronization process bibliographic data and potentially restricted PDFs. Confirm copyright, privacy, and institutional data-governance requirements before sharing.
