Docear http://www.docear.org/ is a new tool for organising academic literature and writing, a successor to the Sciplore project http://www.sciplore.org/software/sciplore_mindmapping/

I do not do any academic writing at present, and cannot say that I will be testing the software, but I found the following interesting (from the home page):

- Includes: digital library, reference manager, PDF and file manager, note taking and mind mapping.
- Docear works seamlessly with many existing tools like Mendeley, Microsoft Word, and Foxit Reader
- Docear is free and open source, based on Freeplane, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Technology and developed by scientists from around the world, among others from OvGU, and the University of California, Berkeley.
