Hello,

there are many tools and apps that researchers use for different purposes: writing, reference management, literature management, task management, data handling etc.

What research productivity/efficiency tools do you use and for what purpose?

Here's my list:

  • Literature management: Mendeley (for storing and reading articles)
  • Reading newest articles on the go: Researcher App (you can also send them to Mendeley via Researcher App)
  • Taking notes and creating to-do lists: Google Keep (I like it more than Evernote or todoist)
  • Discipline: Brain Focus (based on Pomodoro)
  • Writing: Microsoft Word
  • Handling data: Microsoft Excel
  • Networking and sharing: ResearchGate, Academia.edu, LinkedIn

Thank you for your answers!
