Josh Welsh (ID: 000000d5f2c4b265) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/04/2018 I wanted an alternative to Zotero with better online and mobile options. I think this will work well. Importing form Zotero to F1000 Workspace was much better than from Zotero to Mendeley. I could not get the browser extension to work until I realized that Privacy Badger was blocking F1000. You can fix that by finding F1000 in the list of blocked trackers that Privacy Badger creates and then sliding it to green.

Michael Swift (ID: 000000a9d91b8ced) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/05/2018 Works beautifully, I love this tool. Sometimes has trouble getting PDFs automatically from some websites and also with annotating PDFs of old papers.
