Paperpile#

Paperpile is the lab's citation manager of choice. It has seamless integration with Google Apps and Google Drive, which is the lab's primary document management system. Paperpile simplifies managing references, PDFs, and citations directly within the browser.

Getting Started#

The BHK Lab has a paid Paperpile license. If you need access credentials, you can reach out to the Lab Coordinator via Slack or Email.
