New Concept Mapper for Academics?

[Eric Durbrow]

This may interest people who want to give non-linear presentations. I can't seem to find any other advantages of it over other concept mappers but please let me know if I am missing something.

I've downloaded VUE, watched some of its tutorial videos and started playing with it. Seems very full featured.

Significantly, it integrates with Zotero, is multi-platform, and very web-centric for importing visuals, exporting to html & wikis, etc. It features layers for placing nodes over photos and other imported images.

At first glance, VUE appears quite robust.

Is there a better open source concept mapping program?

Don asks if there is a better open source mind-mapper. Although it is not open source (I think) the free version of X MIND is easier to use than VUE and you can upload maps to the web. The Pro version is by subscription and allows for non-linear presentations.

There is also FreeMind but I still find it clumsy on the Mac. Perhaps it is more versatile in Windows/Linux.

There is an interesting fork of Freemind called SciPlore Mind Mapping
(http://sciplore.org/software/sciplore_mindmapping/) it seems aimed
particularly at academics. It has strong ties with BibTex and nice
integration with Zotero, Mendeley, Jabref, etc. I am running it now
on Win7 and has been performing very well. I have also used in on an
Ubuntu box with success.

This list is incredible. Thank you so much for the last couple

references; I've checked them out and shared them with colleagues.

This last one, SciPlore, is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you so much!

Best,
