Other than citation management, what does the software do? Some people prefer all-in-one tools, and others just want to have a program manage their citations.

Of course, you will have to weigh this against #2: If your associates use Papers for Mac and you switch between Mac/Linux often, that is not the best choice for you. Ask around and see if others have preferences.

What do people in your discipline or research group use? Unless everyone is just saving things to a BibTeX database (you can export to that format from citation management systems to share and use citations, so that's a non-issue), you will get more value out of a system if you are using something in common with people you collaborate with.

They're better choices if you see yourself doing research on all platforms. Other solutions (i.e., Mendeley and Zotero) support Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Do you use multiple operating systems? Some citation management systems only support one operating system.

Do you switch between computers often? If so, a citation management system that syncs to the cloud might be the best choice for you, as you would be able to 'pull down' your citations to each computer.

However, here are some questions you should ask yourself when deciding among them.

No one can make citation management system decisions for you.
