Current library tools have several challenges: they do not adequately support both citation metadata and full texts; lack social collaboration features; and provide limited usage data and resources. Flow addresses these issues by integrating reference and full text management, enabling collaboration, and providing insight into usage patterns while respecting copyright. Flow aims to create a complete research environment centered on the researcher workflow.
