Research faster with deeper understanding & insights

Develop a deep understanding by having quick access to all of your documents, notes and tags. With Zenreader you build a database of all the documents you read, organising all your highlights and notes using a powerful Tagging system.

Discover trends

You apply tags to your highlights & notes. By looking at the resulting network of notes and documents you quickly begin to identify themes and trends.

The similarities across papers become highlighted and the gaps become also very obvious, making it easier to discover new areas of research focus or gaps in knowledge.

Research faster

When you look at your notes/highlights grouped by the same tag, you can quickly see how different researchers' interpretations vary, allowing you to rapidly understand the content. This makes it faster for you to learn from and understand the literature you're looking at.

Better discussions

Zenreader makes it easier to discuss literature and share knowledge & understanding.

Help your team get up to speed with your research by showing your work from within Zenreader, enabling them to provide clearer and more direct support with the project.

Agile

Kanban boards

Zenreader lets you move your work forwards by helping you focus on what needs doing. Use Kanban columns to define your ideal workflow. Move your documents (and tasks) onto the right lists and get the most important stuff from "To Do" to "Done" first.

Don't break your flow

Task lists

Zenreader comes with a rapid way to capture ideas, thoughts and tasks so that you don't get distracted, lose your flow or what is important to you.

Backtrack

History

The activity history will show you everything that you have done. It is often very useful to be able to find out when we read a specific document, especially when we are doing research and we want to recall where we read some piece of information that we didn't find relevant before, but that now is very important to us.

Avoid

Unintentional plagiarism

Capture all your understanding

Multiple perspectives

When reading the same documents with different "lenses" you can capture many different layers of understanding and quickly review all your knowledge on a topic and across papers.

Immediately useful notes

Less repetition

With Zenreader, each highlight becomes a ready-to-use piece of knowledge, organised by you and ready to be used in your reports and written documents. Because the note taking is so systematic and effective, our users don't need to re-read papers multiple times and they never lose their notes/work and can always go from their notes to the original document with one click.

Fast ready-to-use outputs

Zenreader has enabled many happy users to do their best work: overdelivering, in less time, having more fun!

I would recommend the software to anyone working on grant applications. There are advantages if you’re working alone but it really excels when you work in teams.

I've been using Zenreader to take and organise notes from papers for my ongoing research projects. Using Zenreader, it's now much quicker and easier to determine how evidence from multiple sources fits together. Thankfully, gone are the days of losing handwritten notes on printouts!

Zenreader helped me understand in a better and more organized way the knowledge I processed during my dissertation-writing period. This reduced my stress and gave me more confidence in my work.
