View & analyze literature as inter-connected knowledge
What is RefLinx?
RefLinx is a cloud-based platform which allows you to manage your literature as networks of related information. Unlike traditional literature software RefLinx helps you organize not only your bibliographic data but also the actual content of your literature collections.
Easily import bibliographic data from any literature management software (e.g. Endnote, Citavi & Bibtex).
Designed for efficient teamwork RefLinx helps teams & study groups work with literature collectively.
After your references have been imported they appear as symbols on the platform's network area. By clicking on these symbols you can add a document's key arguments and cross-link these with those of other documents. The result is a knowledge network with literature connected by its content.
