Excellent!
Great suggestion, thanks!
Not an academic but I agree this would be useful. Working through the process of writing paper is a good way to consolidate your learning on a topic of interest. +1 to the votes.. let's keep this thread rolling and the vote counter ticking over.

Can we hit 50 votes before the night is over?
Great idea. 50th vote
If we are going to go this route, we really need the ability to import PDFs, html, rich text and markdown files. I know this has been discussed extensively before, but the reality is that papers in Logos will not always be composed of research exclusively from the Logos ecosystem.
Being able to open a website from within Logos would be very useful as well. We already have Wikipedia, so presumably that would enable the user to customize this for other commonly referred to resource websites.
Whether there is a market for all this to justify the investment, I don’t know. A competitor’s product already allows for pdf imports and website integration.
In meantime I am using other tools. In my case it is Devonthink and Papers for the Mac.

Is all the text in the pdf imports searchable or are many imported as pictures?
If the PDF has text in it, it is searchable, but as far as I am aware it does not do OCR.
An example of where this works great is the PDF version of Themelios Journal.

If I may be so bold as to ask: why do we need that?
I prefer to use Word plus Zotero for all of my citation-related needs. I don't remember importing any .pdfs into Zotero. Sure, I could, but I have no need to.

If I may be so bold as to ask: how would this be useful?
I don't use Word (or Zotero) to browse websites. I have free, frequently updated, feature rich internet browsers with carefully customized settings and add-ons for that.

This would be a great addition to Logos. I for one would use it a lot!
There was discussion about a Logos storage plan a while back for personal files - PDF’s etc. Maybe that is what became the personal vault. Perhaps it is still incoming...
Now up to 63 votes. Thanks everyone!
