The reference manager that lives in your browser and syncs with Google Docs.
Paperpile is a browser-based reference manager built around Google Docs and Google Drive. Import references with one click from PubMed, arXiv, or JSTOR, organize them in Drive, and cite inline in Google Docs with a clean plugin. It is the natural choice for teams already living in the Google ecosystem.
Who it's for: Researchers and students who write in Google Docs and want citations that "just work" without installing desktop software.
Insert citations and build bibliographies natively inside Google Docs.
Everything runs in Chrome — no heavy desktop app, accessible from any machine.
Pull references from PubMed, arXiv, JSTOR, and 1,000+ other sources instantly.
Browse and search your library, and save papers from your phone.
If your writing life is in Google Docs, Paperpile is the smoothest reference manager you can buy — $9/mo is cheap for the time it saves. Word-heavy users should look at EndNote or Mendeley instead. Start with the trial before committing.
