Papers
Feb 8 2007

ALEXANDER GRIEKSPOOR  Hi everyone, I understand the concerns of those people from different fields than the biomedical one. We don't agree with the last person to see 4Peaks is something everyone can use, what about a mechanical engineer, when will he do DNA sequencing. In that respect 4Peaks is even more narrowly focused to molecular biologists.

Having said that, Yes, Papers is mainly focused on the biomedical domain at the moment. But this 2nd preview is already one step in a broader direction as you can now import and export from applications like Endnote, Bookends, Bibdesk etc. And hence it's can already be of use to anyone in science.

Even more important, the above is a first step in taking Papers to a much broader audience. We will incorporate more searchengines soon, but we have to start somewhere, and that somewhere happened to be the field where we are originally from, not without any reason given our expertise. There is still quite some work to do to make Papers really 1.0 worthy, we think it's best if we focus on that first instead of expanding the already large feature set of this program in even further.

We kindly ask for your patients and hope that you still give Papers a try if it were only to give us feedback on how we could improve Papers to fit the workflow in your specific area of science.

Best,

Alex & Tom

EPSTEIN  Alex --

An impressive beta2. Papers is shaping up well. For what it's worth, here's my vote for raising the priority of supporting more search engines, starting with PubMed.

UMIJIN  4 peaks has a broader appeal in that molecular biology is used in nearly all biological disciplines these days. Maybe not by all researchers in those fields, but it has a representation in nearly all biology fields.

However, medline only helps biomedical research, pretty much. That was my point.

And yes, Papers has a great start. And yes, some of us expected that you'd add more search engines in the future. It's good that you actually come out and state that at this time.

Looking forward future versions of Papers.

Disctop Pro

ALEXANDER GRIEKSPOOR  Version 2.5.2 is a minor update of Disctop, therefore the version in the about panel still displays 2.5. Disctop now also no longer tells you there is a new version available after installing this latest update. Thanks for letting us know! Enjoy!
