侧边栏

侧边栏自动弹出挺不方便的,希望可以改回以前的或者选择性开启侧边栏

怎么安装以前的版本

刚更新的这个版本有了独立展示后,iPad 使用侧边栏很不方便,怎么退回之前的版本呀,或者能不能更新可以去选择是否用独立显示,我不想要独立显示

A smart and simple App similar as Papers

It's really quick to use, very simple UI. Ai makes it really smart. I like the reference auto extract and reference tracking, which saves a lot time.

Translation makes reading much more quickly

非常好用

相逢恨晚,功能非常齐全,以前一直用zotero,这个还要更好用一点

文献阅读和标记功能比较简陋

终于找到一个软件可以代替Mendeley了。虽然也有很多类似的软件,但没有一个可以在所有平台上同步标记和笔记,并且能够高效管理文献的软件。看的出来ivySCI有这方面的潜力,而且在Medeley全面转向线上以后,ivySCI能够站出来同时做本地和线上的文献管理,这个对于我们这种多平台用户很重要。

用了几天,有一个小问题想提出来,希望团队可以接着改进。

1. 文档标记功能还是太简陋了,除了高亮就没有别的了。希望后期可以加入截图,书写笔记,和简单图形绘制。相信很多拿iPad读文献的人,一般都会有手写笔配合。调用ApplePen的API和操作面板基本就可以完成前端,就是要做好后端的数据同步。

2. 管理文献功能也比较简陋。很多时候需要根据文章作者,期刊,发表年份,甚至标题关键字进行搜索和分组。有的可能还需要对第一作者,通讯作者,还有发表会议进行分类。希望可以借鉴Mendeley还有EndNote Zotore等比较成熟的软件。

3. 付费功能除了增加容量,希望在同步上能够更加迅速和稳定。有的时候在iPad上标记了文档,但是在其他平台上一直看不到更新,然后不是很稳定。我觉得好的软件收费很合理,但是也希望能够把稳定做好,毕竟都是一路看过来的文献积累笔记,没有稳定性的保证真的很难走远。

Response from developer

您好,手写功能已经支持了,直接更新就可以。 手写笔写出来的是无法支持索引导致笔记内嵌在 PDF里,无法在文献中引用。 在 ivySCI 里,我们希望用户使用手写表来标记单词等不需要索引的数据,而不应该过多使用手写笔。 文献管理等复杂的功能不在 iPad 的支持计划中,在 桌面版会更方便,管理效率会更高。
