About
Peaya is created to make your academic life easier. As a student, a postdoc, or a professor, you are intelligent, creative and hard-working, and you chose academia as your profession with a noble goal: make big discoveries and benefit the human being. But reality is often disappointing: your salary is barely enough to pay your rent, your manuscript is criticized by mean reviewers, job is hard to find and you have to spend one more year as a postdoc, you waste an entire day simply to make a computer program work, you keep writing grants but keep being rejected …
We, as postdocs/students ourselves, are experiencing the exact same pain you are. So we spent a lot of time in creating this website and developing software tools to make your life easier. We want you to spend more time on important things such as generating ingenious ideas, and free your mind from trivial but often annoying jobs such as organizing your PDFs and citations.
Peaya Paper
A software tool that allows you to manage papers and PDFs and access them anywhere (Windows, Mac, and Linux). It also makes it easy to share with friends and collaborators. We hope Peaya Paper will make your work more productive. See how happy Iris (below) is after using Peaya Paper!
Peaya Cite
A MS Word add-in that offers a completely new way to insert citations — Cite Seamlessly with real-time context-dependent reference hinting. We hope Peaya Cite will allow you to concentrate on writing itself rather than on trivial citation insertion or formatting.
Peaya Comics
Comic strips about our academic life – the excitement, joy, depression, and pain. We hope the strips will make you smile. Below is the latest comics:
I find Peaya Paper very convenient by allowing me to synchronize paper collection on different computer, and organize them easily with tags. The integration of citing function makes it more competent so that I do not need to organize papers with one software and cite references with another.
