Our reference management software Docear has not been actively developed for a few years, and recently, the add-on to fetch metadata from Google Scholar stopped working.
Fortunately, one of our users (Li Yang) adjusted Docear’s Google Scholar Parser, and now everything works as usual. However, we have not yet integrated the function into […]
October 5th, 2017 by Joeran [Docear] Google Scholar recently changed its layout, and as a consequence, Docear couldn’t fetch metadata anymore from Google Scholar for PDF files. Fortunately, one of our users (“Silberzwiebel”) adjusted Docear’s Google Scholar Parser, and now everything works as usual. However, we have not yet integrated the function into the main version of Docear. This means, even […]
February 5th, 2017 by Joeran [Docear] Currently, all of Docear’s online services are down.

September 7th, 2016 by Joeran [Docear] Updated on 2017-08-14: Here at Docear and Mr. DLib we have many exciting projects in the field of recommender systems, user modelling, personalisation, and adaptive systems (primarily with a focus on digital libraries but we are also open for domains such as health care, transportation, and tourism). If you are interested in pursuing any of […]

Update 2016-01-12: The salary in Tokyo would be around 1.600 US$ per month, not 1.400.
2015 has been a rather quiet year for Docear, but 2016 will be different. We have lots of ideas for new projects, and even better – we have funding to pay at least 1 Master or PhD student, to […]
December 2nd, 2015 by Joeran [Docear] After releasing the Beta some weeks ago, we made some minor adjustments, and consider the current version 1.2 as stable. There are two major improvements and two bad news:

April 7th, 2015 by Joeran [Docear] One reason why we originally started the development of Docear was our interest in how people are creating mind-maps and how the information contained in mind-maps could be used for building recommender systems and other user-modeling applications.

October 23rd, 2014 by Joeran [Docear] More than half a year ago, we started a call for donation to pay a freelancer who wanted to develop an add-on for LibreOffice and OpenOffice, comparable to Docear4Word. Originally, we estimated that it would take about 2 months before the work was completed, or at least a decent demo version was ready to released. […]
October 13th, 2014 by Joeran [Docear] In the past few weeks, several users reported that Docear could not retrieve metadata more from Google Scholar any more. It took as a while, but now we found and fixed the problem – hopefully. We need your help to test if the fixed version really works well for all of you (it’s very hard […]
August 18th, 2014 by Joeran [Docear] Our paper “The Architecture and Datasets of Docear’s Research Paper Recommender System” was accepted at the 3rd International Workshop on Mining Scientific Publications (WOSP 2014),

July 22nd, 2014 by Joeran [Docear] Compared to several other reference managers, Docear lacks a feature to directly import references from the Web. For instance, if you visit the detail page of a research article on a publisher’s website, you might wish to directly import the bibliographic data of that article to Docear. Many publishers offer export options for reference managers […]
June 9th, 2014 by Joeran [Docear] In the past years, Docear evolved to a powerful software for managing literature and references. However, we have to admit that Docear is still not as user friendly as we would like it to be. This is mainly caused by the workspace concept which is not very intuitive.
[…]
May 21st, 2014 by Joeran [Docear] Finally, after releasing the alpha and beta, today we release Docear 1.1 stable. If you have tried already one of the previous versions, there is not much news. Otherwise, read on.

As some of you might know, I am a PhD student and the focus of my research lies on research paper recommender systems. Now, I am about to finish an extensive literature review of more than 200 research articles on research paper recommender systems. My colleagues and I summarized the findings in this 43 […]

We recently submitted a paper to UMAP (The Conference on User Modelling, Adaptation, and Personalization).

April 10th, 2014 by Joeran [Docear] We kindly ask you to participate in a brief study about Docear’s recommender system. Your participation will help us to improve the recommender system, and to secure long-term funding for the development of Docear in general! If you are willing to invest 15 minutes of your time, then please continue reading.

March 27th, 2014 by Joeran [Docear] Thanks to all the generous donors, our student Christoph could work on an improved PDF metadata retrieval for Docear, and today it’s time to present the first preview. The new Docear 1.1 (preview) is able to extract the title of a PDF and fetch appropriate metadata from Google Scholar. Whenever you select a PDF in […]
March 20th, 2014 by Joeran [Docear] Docear4Word 1.30 is available for download. We improved the error handling, the speed, and the robustness for special characters in BibTeX keys. Here are all changes in detail
A database parsing error during Refresh now displays message with line and column information. More robustness for special characters in BibTeX keys: Changing to the official spec […]
March 11th, 2014 by Joeran [Docear] –> Read here for the latest update <–
One of our users’ most requested feature is an add-on for LibreOffice and OpenOffice, similar to Docear4Word, which allows adding formatted references and bibliographies in Microsoft Word based on Docear’s BibTeX files. Unfortunately, we have no skills in developing add-ons for Libre or OpenOffice, which […]
