I would really like the ability to throw a single reference in a document (or email, or google doc, or pages) without in-text citations. I mostly chose it mostly because it gets good reviews overall and is free However, a lot of the projects I've been working on lately are small scale. So from reading this thread, I ended up choosing Mendeley and have been using it for about a year now. I keep meaning to try some new software, but much like my eternal good intentions of switching from SPSS to R for stats, I never find the time to actually sit down and learn it. Even the search for some reason seems limited.I'm not sure if its PubMed that sucks (I usually use PsycInfo) or Endnote itself, but I've had it fail to find tons of articles I know are there, even when explicitly searching for them. This would be nice if it friggin worked, but the only database it seems to link with properly is PubMed, it seems to only have about 1/10 chance of downloading the PDF properly.
It allows you to search online and automatically download articles.
Unless they've patched it recently, it does not import DOI numbers correctly which means you have to fix the vast majority of them. The major downside to Endnote is that it is SUPER buggy, and often leaves me wanting to throw my computer/their programming staff out a window. I've heard good things about Mendeley, but haven't used it. Like AA, I get it for "nearly" free ($10) through my university. I wouldn't say Endnote is "hideously" involved, but its not straightforward.
