Overview

Paperpile is an independent reference management platform that supports researchers through the full workflow: collecting sources, organizing them, reading PDFs, and citing in documents. It stores bibliographic data and PDFs, lets users tag and organize their library, and provides citation insertion in Google Docs, Microsoft Word, LaTeX editors, and through AI assistants. The service differs from some competitors by offering end-to-end workflow support with broad integrations and by operating independently for 12+ years, serving researchers at universities and institutions worldwide. The goal is to help researchers manage references efficiently and accurately across the entire research process.
