![]() The legacy ReadCube and Papers applications are no longer actively developed. The page has announced that the desktop applications should be ready to launch Fall 2019. It is currently available as a web-based platform (Web App) and on Mobile operating systems iOS and Android. The ReadCube Papers app suite is under development based on the original ReadCube and Papers applications. It is part of the Digital Science's portfolio. ReadCube's product line includes the reference manager ReadCube Papers, Anywhere Access and custom services for publishers. ReadCube is a technology company developing software for researchers, publishers, academic and commercial organizations. ![]() ( July 2021) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Please help improve it by removing promotional content and inappropriate external links, and by adding encyclopedic content written from a neutral point of view. I can see potential here, but some of the more basic things are still missing- get this right.This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. If you want to move to a subscription model, focus on keeping the immense value that was already there in papers before adding links to sources in documents. Hopeful that years worth of markup transferred correctly from a Papers 3 library? Sorry- all your written annotations appear only as red squiggles all over your imported Readcube file. Want to use preview at all? Sorry, you need to open it in a separate viewing window entirely. Want to see a preview of an article in the preview window so you can correct the inevitably incorrect imported citation? Sorry, open the article in a new window and switch back and forth as you type. Want to see recently imported papers easily? Look up a hyper-customized search entry online in convoluted support. I hope I can revise this to 5 stars soon, but for now, too much of Readcube is a step back in basic functionality from Papers 3. There aren’t options for switching from horizontal paging to vertical scrolling. Export only includes highlights and annotations on the first two pages for some reason. Highlighting and annotations are flaky, and there’s no undo button (you have to delete an entire highlight/annotation at once as an object, so small mistakes mean you have to redraw entirely.) Highlighting and annotation also just sometimes just stop working, and I’ll need to exit the pdf to get it back. The reader view UI needs work: The carrier, clock, and battery icons aren’t hidden but merely white in full-screen. The most important features for me are there though, and import/search especially are working well enough for now. Papers 3 was significantly better all around, but since ReadCube owns them now, I expect ReadCube Papers will be importing more and more of their features. Needs work, but I’m subscribing when my trial expiresĪs of 2.70, it’s pretty ok, with lots of room for improvement. We love feedback from our users - please email with any suggestions or issues. Simplify your research life – try ReadCube Papers for free on your iPhone, iPad, and computer.
