Papers Overview
Papers is a reference-management and research application for Windows and macOS used by researchers, academics, and students to organize, read, and cite scholarly literature. It builds a searchable library of papers and PDFs with automatically matched metadata, provides an annotation-friendly PDF reader for highlighting and note-taking, and includes a citation tool that inserts references and bibliographies into word processors in many styles. It also offers features for discovering related research and syncing your library across devices. By centralizing how academic sources are collected, read, and cited, it streamlines the research and writing workflow. The offline installer bundles everything Papers needs, so installation completes without a connection. This page points to the genuine Papers source from Mendeley, not a third-party host.
