Suppose you have a Java Server application, and some of the runtime binaries in that application are external to your application. Generated image files, compiled Silverlight components in your pages, or resource files which are managed by an external team. Much like the jar files used by your application, these external binaries can be seen…
Both for individual researchers as for research groups or projects, it is of major importance to organize the literature one has read. A well organized bibliography is a powerful instrument. It speeds up the search for publications one has already read and supports the user in structuring information. Aigaion provides a bibliography management software environment that supports a user in just this: Organizing and managing a complete bibliography, from small bibliographies to bibliographies for a complete research department.
To help scientists decide which one of the many systems to use, we have tested some of the most relevant applications (commercial and non-commercial) as to how well the respective software performs in five different categories. These reflect the most significant abilities and features of reference management software. In the table below, each application is rated in each category with a simple star rating system (1 = poor, 5 = perfect). Clicking on the star ratings opens a detailed comparison table with more information about the test results. The order of the applications in the table reflects the order in which they were added to the comparison.
