Do you know that you can citate scientific articles on the iPad with either endnote or bookends?????

Notes in Papers work great in my opinion and using the Pencil is a joy. I don't use a Mac (well I have MacOS on an SSD drive that I can boot up on a library iMac if I need to) so I suffer not being able to properly edit all reference info in Papers on the iPad. By the reading and annotation part (Split View aside) works well.
Liquid Text is awesome, although it lacks a serious file management aspect.
Oh man - what a beast... and what an amazing screen!
Still not sure if 10.5 is perfect for reading scientific 2-column papers and annotating in Liquidtext in landscape. Would just need a tiny Bit more horizontal space... but it's still a nice workflow for sure (and probably a non-issue if you have books, drafts, or other regular column texts). Portrait orientation and 2-col papers is great. Quite a better than on my old iPad Air 1.
However, was looking at the 12.9 again and that still looks massive. Cannot See myself on the go with it (trains, etc). I
guess i'll have to buy that too at a later stage ;-)

[doublepost=1504247616][/doublepost]Why do you think iPad is not suitable for reference manager software for writing article?
Maybe times have changed, but when I started my thesis a year ago, there was absolutely no good way to handle/insert citations (of course you Can do it, but the workflows from finding a paper all the way to having a citation in your writing program are way slower than on macOS).
Because of this I wrote my last paper and my thesis on a MacBook 12.
(the creators of ReadCube.app and Papers.app have merged and will release a new app this fall, I'm very excited for it. Together with Manuscripts.app should be a very nice combination for macOS. Let's hope they also make something great for iOS)
(I haven't used the 10.5 version myself, but I found reading papers much more enjoyable on the 12.9 than the 9.7 due to the text size. On the 9.7 I tend to zoom in on just one column of text at a time, but then you have to scroll left right a ton)
(I'm in life science so I haven't looked at any latex solutions)

We do not use Endnote or bookends at my Univerisity. I looked at Bookends description but I do not see that you can reference and reformat word documents. Reformatting citation according to the journal you submit to is crucial. Usually you do this with a chosing a journal format and the field codes inserted into word to guide the reformatting of the reference list. If you need to submit to another journal, reformatting the list is as easy.

At least I have you solved how to insert references from Mendeley. The types of references I refer to is NOT the footnotes that are built into word but those where the reference app insert field codes into word. The field codes allows for easy choosing of formats of the references according to the journal you submit to.
