SciPlore MindMapping is an innovative mind mapping application that focuses on researchers' needs to integrate mind mapping with reference as well as PDF management.

SciPlore MindMapping offers all the features one would expect from a standard mind mapping software, plus the following features for researchers:
* Adding Reference Keys Manually: This feature allows assigning a reference key to a mind map's node. This way, researchers can organize their ideas and reference to the origins.
* Adding Reference Keys (BibTeX) Automatically: Most reference managers (e.g. JabRef, BibDesk, Referencer, ...) allow assigning a file (usually PDF) to entries in the bibliographic database. If a file that is linked in the reference database is linked by a node in the mind map, SciPlore MindMapping automatically extracts the corresponding reference key from reference database and adds it to the mind map node. Currently, this feature only works with reference databases in BibTeX format.
* PDF Bookmark Import: When researchers read an article in PDF format, some create bookmarks for the most important statements in the article. The same information is likely to be needed in a mind map when structuring ideas or a new paper. SciPlore MindMapping offers the option to import bookmarks from a PDF. Each bookmark is imported as a node and each node is linked to the PDF. If the PDF is included in the user's bibliographic database, the corresponding BibTeX key is also added.

SciPlore MindMapping Features:
1. PDF Bookmark Import
2. Manual Reference Management (Adding arbitrary reference keys)
3. Automatic Reference Management (Automatic assignment of BibTeX keys)
4. All features that FreeMind has

Requirements:
* Java
