A connected research workflow

Every source, note and citation in its place.

Move from collecting evidence to a finished bibliography without losing the context that made each paper matter.

Cite in Word

Turn sources into citations with less friction.

Track Changes can interfere with citation fields; accept or reject tracked edits before the final refresh where possible.
