So, further to my first post about our booth last month at the Materials Research Society… I wanted to briefly mention the tool—a reference manager—I used to share articles from SpringerOpen materials science journals.

I used—and continue to use—Papers. I used a simple URL for a collection of articles—like this one—and it couldn’t have been easier. I can also connect the OS X app on my desktop and laptop to my iOS devices, and there’s also a Web interface, too. (And of course, a version for Windows.)

I know there are lots of reference managers out there, and people will have their favorites; but I just wanted to give a shout-out to the good folks over at Papers (also part of the larger Springer family) while I was at it.

(They also have their own YouTube channel here.)
