WizFolio

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 from webpages. WizFolio ceased to be available at the end of 2017.

History
Developed by WizPatent Pte Ltd, its alpha version was launched on 12 May 2008, and the beta on 22 June 2008. It has since been released officially and is opened to the general public. During the 8th International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCOB), Lim Chuan Poh, chairman of Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) announced that the Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNet) and Association for Medical and Bio Informatics Singapore (AMBIS) signed an agreement with WizFolio to provide respective members access to the system as well as explore new ways to improve the process of scientific peer review activities.

In January 2015, Wizfolio was acquired by iGroup (Asia Pacific) Ltd.

In March 2016, iGroup (Asia Pacific) Ltd. released EEWOWW, a new authoring tool built upon on Wizfolio. Wizfolio was retired at end of 2017.
