Docear [1] is an academic literature suite and the official successor of SciPlore MindMapping [2]. Similar to the way that office suites bundle various applications for office workers, e.g. word processing or presentation software, Docear offers several applications tailored to support researchers.
Docear features an academic search engine, a PDF reader, a customized reference manager, a word processor, an enhanced mind mapping module and a recommender system for related documents. Docear’s general concept and its unique features, such as a modular composition, free full-text access to literature, information management in form of mind maps, automatic metadata extraction from PDF files and literature recommendations, are presented in the following papers.
