Useful Research Tools
- Evernote: https://evernote.com/ Online and desktop platform for creating research ‘logs’, recording your creative practice activities. For PC and Mac.
- Omnioutliner (https://www.omnigroup.com/omnioutliner) or Onenote (https://www.onenote.com/) For research notes, management, outlining, planning, etc. Evernote works well for this purpose as well. (I used to recommend Circus Ponies Notebook: http://www.circusponies.com/ for this purpose [Macs only], but they've since gone under. Omnioutliner and Onenote are also-rans, but they're what we're left with.)
- Mendeley: http://mendeley.com/ Online and desktop platform for research resources management. For PC and Mac. Alternative (pretty much the same): Zotero – http://zotero.com
- Scrivener: http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php Word processing application that’s much better at document and notes organization than Word. Available for PC and Mac.
