I love Paperpile but recently it has been a huge pain as my citation search window keeps disappearing. I don't understand why this keeps happening. I'll use Ctrl+Alt+P, it will pop up, and then when I want to start typing it disappears again. It's been months like this. I hope there is a fix.

I used to love it, but since a few weeks, I have to start the same search many times to have a result. Is it a temporary bug ?

Great stuff! Would send me over the moon to see the exact same functionality available for Google Slides, as well. Thanks for considering it! :-D

Installed it, but there is no "Add-on" option in Google Docs.

I don't really understand some of the comments, it continues to work for me using the Chrome plug-in. And the permissions to Google Drive is because that is where all the pdfs are stored for you, so they require access to that space. It's not perfect and for policy research reports etc it continues to not be able to install the citations properly but I think that is more to do with the organisations publishing these not appending DOI type to the pdfs. I guess anyway. Anyway, it's ease of use mean that I favour this over other products still, but then I also get it paid for by the university.

This is a great tool to use although I believe it can be improved through consistent updates in concert with changing writing styles i.e. APA 7th edition. For example, paper pile continues to struggle with identifying editors of a book correctly in the reference. I hope paper pile will ameliorate these complications as I am continuing to pay for their services. Altogether, this app saves me a lot of time in my research.

Wonderful, really easy to manage, has tons of the most used citation formats and integrates seamlessly with Google Docs. For me, it's definitely the best freeware online reference manager available
