[PM] Reference Manager doesn't really have note management capabilities.
That is, it won't handle separate notes, which you would like to treat
as individual items that you can later re-arrange according to your
writing needs (e.g. the outline for your thesis). You need other
software for that.
If you are looking for integration between your notes and bibliographic
database, you might have a look on Biblioscape or Scholar's Aid. They
have integrated note modules. However, these products don't seem to be
as stable as RM, and they are, as far as I know, not good at downloading
bibliographic data from the Internet, which I find crucial, as it will
spare you a lot of typing and typing mistakes. Hence, you might want to
combine your use of RM with some note management program. Evernote is
free and quite useful, as it will let you tag (categorise) individual
notes.
It would, sure, be great, if RM had a note module, and folders to
reflect your own structure - if it were more directed towards writing
than running a library.
Peter.
