 Hello, all in this video, we're going to compare between mainly desktop and mainly reference manager. At the end of this video, you are going to decide what is the best out of these two. We all know, mainly is a product of LC were providing reference management free of cost for those who all don't know about the difference between mainly desktop and mainly reference manager on your right side is the mainly desktop, which is the older version of this mainly, which is indicated by dark purple icon. On the other hand, the new mainly reference manager, which is the newer one indicated by bright red icon. Those have already downloaded this mainly desktop can use now, but authentic download of this mainly desktop is not provided and the support is also not provided with this desktop mainly the LC were recommends all the researchers to move to this new mainly reference manager. So basically both this tabs appears almost similar on the left side. There will be the folders and the groups here also it is named as collections here. Articles will be arranged in this pattern. But if you click on this, the individual details can be there. You can take out notes and contents will be available here when it comes to the reading tool, the older Bentley desktop is better than this mainly reference manager tool. When it comes to adding the new references, almost both are same. Both mainly desktop and mainly reference manager functions same. Now secondly, if you look at the synchronization, we need to manually synchronize after each download from the web importers. Mainly reference manager synchronizes automatically without me being synchronizing it. It has synchronized just now in that way. Mainly reference manager is better, which makes our works little easy. Whatever called as folders here will be called as collections and similarly groups also will be present as your mainly desktop. Now the third most important difference is this checking for duplicate. It is okay that when we are writing an article with 20 to 30 references, both will be manageable. But if we exceed more than 30 suppose in case of thesis and dissertations minimum, we will be using more than 100 references. In that case, we need to check for duplicates for that function that is in mainly desktop in tools. We have a check for duplicate options. So if we click on this automatically in this entire list of references, how many duplicates are there? So there are 415 sets of duplicate. If we want to merge these documents, we can do this in a single click. But on the other hand with the mainly reference manager, there was no check for duplicates options available previously. So now this duplicates is recently rolled out, but this function is very limited. That is only with the articles having same DOI will be merged. But here the duplicate search will be matched for authors titles and other details. I prefer mainly desktop to be the best option in case of check for duplicates. Many of the researchers complain that mainly reference manager is a downgrade when compared to the mainly desktop for this reason alone. Then the fourth and last important point is mainly desktop does not need an active Internet connection to operate. Whereas your mainly reference manager needs continuous Internet for its working. That is also one of the notable factor to be considered when we are using mainly reference manager. So if you're going for mainly reference manager, you have to keep in mind your synchronization is going to be very easy and fast. If you're still using this mainly desktop, then you will get the benefit of having a good reading tool and merging the duplicate and you can use this without active Internet connection. Rest of all is going to be the same. But when we compare these two reference managers with Zotiro, Zotiro is fast, but about 200 MB of storage you need to pay for the premium version. But both this mainly desktop and mainly reference manager allows you to have storage of up to 2 GB. So with the newer upgrade with the duplicate and betterment of mainly reference manager, people are still adhering to mainly reference manager and waiting for Elsevier to upgrade equivalent to previous mainly desktop and their main competitor Zotiro. Hopefully in near future that is going to come. We all will wait for that with fingers crossed. Thanks for watching this video.
