@Lothar Scholz
I have a copy of Windows 7 somewhere. I will try it as you recommend. Hopefully, we will see some improvement with the speed. :)

I use Paperpile to collect and organize references, store academic PDFs, and in Google Drive to format in-text citations and bibliographies for articles as I prepare for publication. They are working on a plugin that will work in MS Word on the desktop and eventually also support other writing apps like Ulysses (my preferred writing app).

I create a document to store the annotations from each PDF. I then structure it to highlight the structure of the article. (When reading I highlight headers and Chapter titles to facilitate this.) Then, in cases where I need to further gather quotations I’ll use hashtags. You can filter documents by hashtag, or search hashtags across multiple documents.

Are you still using Mubu, or was that just an experiment? (My Chinese is very rusty so I don’t think I could use it, but I’m still curious.)

Once Dynalist fixed their mobile app I stopped using Mubu. Dynalist’s mobile app still isn’t great, but it is good enough and they improve it regularly. Also I am not willing to store my data on Chinese servers.

Hi Darren,
If your workflow, read—>annotate—->write, i would strongly suggest looking at Atlasti. It is a qualitative analyses software, but works great for literature reviews. You can search for tutorials on doing this. Hope this helps
