If you have conducted a research in the past you know that it
means endless PDF files, notes and webpages. Although these digital
documents are easier to work with, after some time their sheer number
can be really confusing and organizing them may turn into a real
challenge. But research management software such as Qiqqa
assists you in managing your documents and notes effectively, and
visualizing your ideas and work. These tools help you find what you are
looking for easily and what is more is that they can help you establish a
link between all these different files and notes.


In this article we are going to introduce Qiqqa, a
freeware and freemium research management tool which allows researchers
to work with numerous PDF files. Of course there are other similar tools
developed for this purpose, one such tool being Mendeley, and we will
