Fairly broad question, but I am interested in learning how people keep their ideas, insights they learn from papers, readings, etc and everything else that goes into research organized?
What kind of tools work well for you and you feel thankful for using over the years?
For organizing papers, Mendeley is great, and they have a Word add-in that can insert citations and generate a formatted bibliography, with support for different journal formats. Disclaimer: I am unaffiliated with Mendeley, it’s just great
Big text file,
Each line is specially formatted to describe paper and their conference.
This file also accompanied with some bash scripts for searching, transforming into bib, making notes for certain paper, etc.
