The main features of the programme are:

  • interfacing with word processors for the instant creation of an appendix bibliography;
  • quick and easy importing and organising of scientific articles from medical databases (PubMed, Science Direct, etc.) using a special tabb;
  • working on materials in PDF format with the possibility of making notes and highlighting;
  • networking within thematic groups.
