I stumbled across Citavi just last week. I was so impressed I bought Windows 10 and Parallels to try it on my Mac! I am not sure if it is the infrastructure they use on Windows, but the software runs much slower than other software in Windows. They are promising the release of a Web version rather than working on an application developed for the Mac. I hope they release a Web version soon.

I wish Apple themselves were developing tools that the academic/scholar/researcher could use. It would be interesting to see what Apple would come up with. A totally new way of approaching research and writing?
