If you have tools you find helpful I'm always looking for new ways to improve my workflow π
1.For Managing Content I use: @Pocket β Free add-in to Google Chrome that allows you to save tabs from across the web and then read them in Pocket at a later time. I used this to save articles and content that I want to come back to at a later date.
2.For Project Management I use: @trello - a visual collaboration tool where you can create shared project workspaces. I use this to create collaborative working spaces, manage project timelines, create to do lists, and celebrate achieving project milestones.
3.For Writing Templates and Ideas I use: @OpenAcademics β the academic writing resources has great templates for curating a CV, cover letters, grant writing, literature review, writing manuscripts and more.
4.For Academic Writing Support I use: The Academic Phrase Bank (by Dr John Morley) β purchase online for Β£5. The phrase bank contains common phrases for academic writing broken down into sections e.g. introducing the work, describing the results, writing conclusions
5.For Creating High Res Figures I use: @RStudio The use of ggplot for graphing was much easier to create customised and high res figures for publication than excel @Rstudio cheatsheets are helpful if you donβt have experience working in a coding environment.
