Best-fit fields

OpenPharos works best in journal-led fields. Book-heavy and local-language fields usually need more tuning.

Before your reading pile

Choose before you manage.

Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote are useful once you have decided a paper matters.

Before that, scan new papers quickly and narrow down what deserves reading.
