ProQuest Launches Free Version of Flow, a Cloud-Based Document Management Platform

A version of Flow— ProQuest ‘s cloud-based collaboration and document management tool—is now available for free to researchers, including those affiliated with non-subscribing institutions. Launched in mid-2013 as an alternative to Mendeley and Zotero, the platform helps researchers discover, store, and organize academic articles, citations, and metadata downloaded from electronic databases, and collaborate with other researchers in a cloud-based environment that enables group annotation of articles, sharing of datasets, and group editing of draft documents, among other functions.
