06 February 2024You may have noticed that in January there was a small update to the site and part of that involved the removal of the Thai and Japanese language sections. Have I lost interest in those languages? No, but every time I wanted to make a tiny news update to the site I had to update 3 times in 3 languages. It's OK for a multinational company to do that but for an individual it was too much work. In the past I kept those sections small to try to keep them manageable but they always felt incomplete, especially when so many of my projects are technical and therefore so much harder to translate.

View details »Reference Organiser Update
17 September 2023Just when you thought this project was dormant, no, I have been steadily improving it and adding new features:
- Now you can add much more comprehensive details about a paper including all the important bibliographic information, tags, ratings, reviewer details, DOI and URLs
- You can also use tags to filter the main window view
- All records are stored in a single flat file (XML for now), you can import any reviews written with previous versions of Reference Organiser
- There is a new feature to quickly add a paper so that you can ingest it into your paper database and start adding details
The version is now listed as 1.3. This is not a release, but too much has changed to just sit on it for longer. See the project page for screenshots of the new features.
