introduction
Hello everyone, I am Bittao. There are two types of daily development projects. One is mature engineering projects, which only need to be closely integrated and applied with specific businesses, and the difficulties are more inclined to software engineering or the direction of high Internet concurrency. We usually do not choose to search literature for this kind of project to find solutions to problems; the other kind is a project that is biased towards cutting-edge scientific research, and it is difficult for us to find relatively reliable experience in search engines.
Recently, I encountered a relatively forward-looking project requirement, so I need to read a lot of literature. It’s okay when I read more than a dozen copies. I will choose to record it in word, which is actually a label.
But if I read too many documents, it would be too confusing. My idea at the time was to develop a small tool to manage these documents. But after thinking about it, it seems that there are many such needs, so I started to look for useful tools from the Internet. After a search, I found that the currently used tools are: Endnote, Mendeley, and Zotero. As a tool software experience enthusiast, of course I choose to experience all of them.
tool comparison
Endnote
The well-known old-fashioned document management tool requires a fee, adding documents is very fast and organizing documents is more convenient.
With a browser plug-in, it can be quickly added to the database. And there are stars to score, which can mark the important Chengdu of the document according to the degree. 
There are also categories on the left, but there is no way to create a new subcategory. Adding notes is also troublesome, and the functions are too complicated. For someone like me who only wants to classify and manage documents, it is too heavy. The way to open the document is also quite strange, there is no way to open it in a new tab (or maybe I didn't understand it).
Mendeley
Mendeley is a free software, relatively light. It can be seen that this software actually has a web embedded inside it. Supports user login and synchronization functions, and the left side also supports classification (supports subcategories).
It also supports the functions of notes and browser downloads. Just when I wanted to adopt Mendeley, I opened Zotero with the mentality of finishing the trial...
Such
This is an open source software and supports plug-in installation. Someone on Github will make different plug-ins and support for him, making him adapt very well in China. For example, after installing the Jasmine plug-in, the combination with HowNet is perfect.
Required plug-in collection:
Jasmine: https://github.com/l0o0/jasminum
ZotFile: http://zotfile.com
Translators: https://github.com/l0o0/translators_CN
The specific plug-in installation and usage methods are in the warehouse The instructions are very detailed, so I won't repeat them here. The final effect can be achieved by reading articles on HowNet, and selectively saving them in batches or individually into your own newly created groups: you
can also make some notes, tags and meta-information management on the documents themselves, and
you can directly make notes and draw key points on them. I regard this as a Bookmark to use. Focus on the places you are interested in, and you can quickly find them when you come in next time.
Summarize
These three softwares can actually meet the needs of basic document management and simple notes. After experience, I feel that the operation methods of these softwares are also the same. In the final analysis, they are just an auxiliary tool. After all, these tools are not omnipotent. You still need to carefully check the literature information, and sometimes you need to manually adjust it to better assist your work.
