From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WizFolio was a web-based reference management software for researchers to manage, share their research and academic papers and generate citations in scholarly writings. It used plug-ins (HTML parsing technology) to collect bibliographic information, videos, and patents[1][2] from webpages. WizFolio ceased to be available at the end of 2017.[3]
