22.07.2012 -
On July 18, 2012 Joeran Beel, Stefan Langer, and Marcel Genzmehr won second price of the business plan contest ego.-Business with the business plan for “Docear”. Docear (www.docear.org) is a software for researchers to search, organize and create academic literature. Other than competitors such as Citavi, Endnote, or Zotero, Docear does not focus on bibliographic data for academic literature but on the content of documents and annotations the user makes. In addition, Docear is managing the information in mind-maps and not in tables and lists. The Jury particularly liked the innovative idea of Docear and the concept. One member of the jury said this was one of the best business plans he had ever seen.
