This software is a free mind mapping tool that caters specifically to researchers. It is based on the successful FreeMind platform and comes equipped with features that cater to researchers' unique requirements.
If you are a researcher who utilizes mind mapping and reference management tools like Mind Manager, FreeMind, JabRef, Endnote or Zotero, along with PDF bookmark functionality, then you need to take a look at FreeMind Scholar. FreeMind Scholar is an integrated software that combines mind mapping with reference and PDF management, designed with the special needs of researchers in mind.
Built with the exceptional FreeMind as its foundation, FreeMind Scholar includes two main functions in addition to FreeMind’s extensive functionalities. It specifically allows you to assign BibTeX keys to entries in your mind map, enabling you to effectively organize your academic articles and ideas, and link them to their sources.
FreeMind Scholar’s automatic allocation of BibTex keys happens when you’ve linked an entry in your mind map to a PDF file and you’ve also linked this PDF file to your reference management software. Currently, FreeMind Scholar supports only the BibTeX format, but Endnote and Zotero's support are its top priority list.
With FreeMind Scholar, you can now import PDF bookmarks via drag and drop, a feature that is not available in the standard FreeMind. FreeMind Scholar is developed in Java, and should effectively run under Mac OS X, Windows (95, etc., XP, Vista), and Linux. In conclusion, FreeMind Scholar is must-have software for all researchers who require an efficient and effective software for managing their information.
