in your library with the flick of a finger, lookup the papers written
by a certain author or published in that well-known journal, organize
your library in collections and add your rating or flag great works.
Papers comes with a stunning PDF viewer built-in, and of course
allows you to add your thoughts and notes to the articles you read,
all at the spot, wherever you happen to be.
But what if you forgot to add that one paper? Or you want to check

that give you access to millions of articles at any time. Search the
world’s largest repositories, visit the publisher’s websites and even
download new PDFs to your library and start reading straight away,

other Papers for iPhone and iPod touch users as well, or send an
email to your friends and colleagues to tell them about your new
findings and ideas.

the Mac it works great as a stand-alone application. It even allows
you to do online backups of your library for free!
