[Amendment: Discovered the recent conversation between Daly and Graham here, which pretty much cover my enquiry - sorry].

Just tried out Scholar’s Aid. It’s notes module seems quite interesting, having many of the features for note taking, that I’m trying to accomplish by tweaking Zoot. Like virutal folders, keywords (you just select one word from a note and make it a keyword, and, voila, you get a virtual folder with that name under the keywords folder). And it is integrated with a bibliographic package, which, however, doesn’t seem to be able to fetch references from Web of Science (which is crucial for me).

However, it seems to by quite buggy, I ran into a number of unexpected behaviors. Is that the general impression?

Furthermore, import from Reference Manager doesn’t seem straight forward.

Anybody agree or disagree?

Peter.
