The Alpha version of Docear is ready to be released and we are really proud of what we achieved the last six months. From the old “SciPlore MindMapping” is nothing left, except the basic idea. Have a look at the major changes and try the Alpha now (if you are a SciPlore MindMapping user – otherwise you have to wait a couple of weeks). (more…)
Beta 15 of SciPlore MindMapping is out. The major new feature is the literature recommendation module. Based on your mind maps SciPlore MindMapping provides you with literature recommendations that can be downloaded immediately and for free. For this feature we use our upcoming new service Mr. DLib which has several Read more…
When we started the development of SciPlore MindMapping about a year ago we decided to use FreeMind as code base. That means we used FreeMind`s source code, modified it slightly, and added some new features. It was a straight forward decision: for many years, FreeMind was bascially the standard choice if you wanted a free open source mind mapping software and it was written in Java, our preferred programing language. However, time is changing and FreeMind unfortunately is not. Since a long time, the FreeMind team is releasing new versions very slowly, not to say the development of FreeMind almost pauses.
Therefore we decided to switch to Freeplane as code base in near future (around July 2011). (more…)
Beta 12 has many new features and improvements
Today we released Beta 11 of SciPlore MindMapping. There is a number

Most users of SciPlore MindMapping (including me) use JabRef to manage their references.

But Mendeley is not that compatible with SciPlore MindMapping and Read more…
Today we released Beta 10 of SciPlore MindMapping. There are no new features but SciPlore MindMapping should run now smoothly with Linux and MacOS. I guess, there will be still some problems but you certainly will tell us if that’s the case (at least I hope so) 🙂 Download Beta Read more…
Today we released Beta 6 of SciPore MindMapping. There are two major improvements: 1. BibTeX files created with Mendeley can now be used with SciPlore MindMapping 2. A PDF’s title is extracted from BibTeX files and displayed in the mindmap Download the software here
Available translations: Chinese (thanks to Chen Feng) | Portuguese (thanks to Marcelo Cruz dos Santos) | Russian (thanks to Sergey Loy) send us your translation Writing a thesis is a complex task. You need to find related literature, take notes, draft the thesis, and eventually write the final document and create the bibliography. Many books explain how to Read more…
We created a video (YouTube) which explains how our mind mapping software SciPlore MindMapping can be used to manage your literature, PDFs and references. Have a look at it, we really think that this will change the way you work!
