Any Advice On Tools For Researching? - Info Collection, Distilling Reports, Managing Knowledge

Hi there,

Altogether I am using 4 main tools - whereas the central one is the simple Microsoft OneNote. Got used to that, not sure if there are better ones outside - but with some plugins for automatically generating table of contents out of headers, and symbols which can be compiled over various notebooks and sections, it's everything I need to organize.

Otherwise I am using a standardized folder structure for each study to save documents.

In addition, Mindjet MindManager is a great tool to collect ideas/research/etc. and organize them (and both folders and MindManager files you can link back to my "central" OneNote.

On top of that, I use Google Keep with my standardized tags - just helps me to easily come back to some website sources later, nothing more than that.

Hope this helps - if so, please be so kind and give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button!

Dear A,

I find very useful Notion. It may include everything you need. BTW it's free for personal use.

Hi Moltenso,

I am not sure I understood your question, what exactly do you find painful in using word, ppt and folders to organize your work? This would help to provide better answers.
