Qiqqa
Qiqqa is a free research and reference management software. It can be used in many organizational projects from the academic to the personal to the business endeavor. Qiqqa has been trusted by students, professors, and dedicated researchers all over the world. The app is utilized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University as well as hundreds of other schools. Qiqqa focuses on four unique ways of helping students. They can be broken down as follows: PDF Security Qiqqa links all of your devices and uploads your PDFs onto all of them. Its organizational tools allow you to tag, automatically ID, and categorize your PDFs. The system is like having an electronic filing cabinet right at your fingertips, and switching devices is easy. No more forgetting which tablet or laptop held which version of a file! Note Taking Capability Once your PDFs are organized, you're free to peruse them at will. Qiqqa makes studying easy by allowing you to annotate the content of any PDF. Comments, highlights, and tags are also captured. There's an annotation report generator to help with review. Research Prioritization Qiqqa uses specialized algorithms to learn about your research niche. It then analyzes your saved PDFs to find the most relevant pieces to that niche. This saves hours of time and a whole lot of energy. Gone are the days of frustrated skimming. The app does the prioritizing work for you so that you can focus on what really matters: research. Bibliography Help Qiqqa uses its themes and annotation reports to keep track of your sources. The software will generate all of the information that you need for your bibliography, regardless of the citation style your paper uses. In fact, Qiqqa formats your biography for you as you work, and it can adapt instantly to a change in citation style.
