(The text below sometimes copies verbatim, sometimes extends, and sometimes summarizes, text I have in the Zotero-to-Referey repo and my post on 2024-03-26 on the Zotero forums Zotero, the native Android App, and Emacs pdf annotation in the computer.)
The “official” Zotero for Android app In December 2023 Zotero launched a Zotero for Android !! This is still in beta, and I have not (yet) been able to get into the beta testing program (slots are limited, and they run out shortly after new slots are announced).
What I want An android app that allows me to edit text files for taking notes. These are files that will by synced between devices (phone, tablet, computers) for viewing and editing.
Ideally, I’d like the application to support org-mode (https://orgmode.org/) format, since I tend to keep all of my notes using Emacs (and the fact that there are several markdown flavors makes my life harder — related reading: https://karl-voit.
UPDATE: This post needs to be changed or deleted: Zotero 7 allows for EPUB annotation! Yes, see here: https://www.zotero.org/blog/zotero-7/
And then, it will eventually be available also on mobile devices (e.g., Zotero for Android). Not sure how much I’ll use it, though, because of issues I’ve mentioned in https://www.ligarto.org/rdiaz/zotero_on_android (I use Emacs to view and edit PDFs, so Zotero for Android might not be for me).

Note: As of July 2015 I am no longer using Mendeley, and some of this information no longer reflects my current workflow. I have moved to Zotero, and my workflow includes Zotero, bibtex for citations from Emacs using helm-bibtex and access in tablets, and also automated extraction of PDF comments and annotations. All of it is explained in https://github.com/rdiaz02/Adios_Mendeley, where I provide code and links for moving from Mendeley to Zotero while preserving annotations, comments, and folder/collection structure.

Free software and open access -- -- These are loose notes and links about two somewhat related issues, free software and open access. Free Software, meaning free as in free speech (not free as in free beer; in Spanish, free as in "libre", not free as in "gratis") is explained in the link above, and in the book Free software, free society by Richard Stallman (the articles that make up that book are available from the GNU site).
I was looking for tagging and indexing tools, specially for R and Python, and that work nicely with Emacs. Here are some notes on what I looked at and tried, with varying levels of detail. At the end, there is some info on an R-scanner for idutils that seems to work (please, if you are interested, do try it out, and let me know if there are problems).
What I want While editing, be able to jump to where a function is defined.
