Lean Library Workspace
Lean Library Workspace helps students and researchers discover, organize, cite, and write research. It captures links and citation details from sources such as Google Scholar and PubMed, and saves PDFs when available. Users can highlight and annotate PDFs and webpages, then search their notes. Workspace suggests relevant articles and offers related-article search while writing. It works with Microsoft Word and Google Docs and can generate bibliographies in more than 7,000 styles. References and PDFs are available across computers, phones, and tablets, including Android and iOS. The free basic plan allows up to three projects and three invitations per shared project, but excludes article suggestions, smart citation suggestions, and external cloud PDF uploads. Libraries can subscribe for institution-wide authenticated access and receive usage statistics; authentication supports methods including IP and SSO. The product supports PDF, BibTeX, RIS, NBIB, and XML imports. Its support information says personal information is encrypted through HTTPS, projects can be private or shared at the user's discretion, and data can be permanently removed on request.
