#12Zotero really need more advertisement. I prefer Zotero over Mendeley, but Mandaley seems to advertise much more to university.
Also, Mendeley was bought by Elsevier. Zotero is open source.

Even though I also like Zotero better because of its open nature, I prefer Mendeley in practice mostly because it has a decent Android client where you can just sync all your PDFs and read them on a tablet or something. Seemed a bit more involved to do the same with Zotero (where it seemed there were only minimal Android clients quickly hacked together). Mendeley also has 2GB storage, so that's nice for personal use and paper/book syncing.
That said, if I had to collaborate in a larger group I'd surely choose Zotero instead of locking everybody into some proprietary ecosystem. But for personal use I definitely don't feel that I'm enabling or supporting Elsevier somehow in using their freeware.

#14The site is not very clear about if it's possible to self host the server part, but hopefully the server is the PHP application at https://github.com/zotero/dataserver

#15> Zotero is the only software that automatically senses research on the web. Need an article from JSTOR or a preprint from arXiv.org? A news story from the New York Times or a book from a library? Zotero has you covered, everywhere.
Is there a way to make it work with SciHub? Asking for a friend... ;).

#16Docear is another interesting project. Unfortunately though, Docear isn't nearly as active as it once was.

Zotero can extract meaningful data from PDF. Alternatively, you can use the paper DOI.

A quick DDG search lead me to this:

#19Does it only store the metadata or does it have the power to store the full text, whether pdf or website or other document?
Could you use this like a digital "commonplace book"?

#20Looks like https://www.mendeley.com
But unlike mendeley, it doesn't send you email advertising for PhDs based on the papers you have been reading it (getting it totally wrong I might add)
