our word for it
It’s much faster and immeasurably easier than any other software I’ve used, and allows you to search online archives, like PubMed, as well as your own library, in the same window.

The ability to highlight key points and add notes directly on the article means that when I write up my own research, I can quickly and easily find the relevant articles in my database.

Sciwheel helps save time by allowing me to directly upload PDFs of articles and their associated supplementary data. This saves me at least two minutes searching for each individual article PDF – these two minutes quickly add up when using over 100 articles for a project multiple times a day!

(Previously), having to upload and download the files from Google to Word to work on the file as a team then work on the references – and not being able to have everyone see or edit the references in real-time was definitely annoying. (With Sciwheel) being able to work with friends and colleagues geographically divided, on a paper or grant and have the references be up-to-date is so fabulous.

One of the best benefits of Sciwheel is the personalised referencing. Sciwheel responded to customer feedback and got this issue fixed right away. Now that’s resolved, I wish I had a time machine to use Sciwheel for my projects.
Samantha Sharman, Graduate Student
University of Lincoln
Sciwheel is very intuitive to use. Most of our students take to it very quickly. Sciwheel has been extremely responsive in their support, often resolving queries or issues in the same class session. That’s been very important to us.
