A 🧶

@OpenAcademics @ThePhDPlace #AcademicTwitter #scicomm
1.Search your papers and visualize them in @ConnectedPapers, @LitmapsApp, @OK_Maps or @Inciteful_xyz

Sample for connected papers: Image

2.After getting your seed papers, you can summarize your paper using Genei.io (@downloadgenei). You can also create resources, create notes and create a folder in this tool.

Sample: Image
You can sign up here: bit.ly/vnvrinda_genei (14-day free trial) and use code vrinda20 for a 20% discount on their plan.

3.PDF candy (@pdfcandy): pdfcandy.com

I use this tool majorly to extract images from research papers. When presenting a journal paper, you might have to use research data from the paper. I found this to be a great tool which extracts images with the same quality.
4.Cite This For Me™ (@CiteThisForMe): citethisforme.com

This is a great tool which creates a citation not just for a paper but also for a website if you want to cite it. That too in a citation style you need.

See you soon in some other thread. Image

1️⃣ Professional Note-taker: In universities, if you sign up as a note-taker. You will be required to attend classes for students who would have requested a note-taker for various reasons. So, if you have good speed in taking notes then working as a note-taker is for you.
The fascinating part of being a note-taker is that you get to attend lectures on different topics.

Fact: The word “amanuensis” (in Latin) means a servant from the hand. An amanuensis is someone good at taking notes when someone else is speaking.

How I am organizing and taking notes when it comes to “Literature Review”.

A 🧶

@ThePhDPlace @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter #SciComm #phdchat #Science Image
Note 1: If you have read all my threads so far, then you know that I have written about (many) tools and formats (s) to search for literature reviews. Now, it’s time to see how you can write your literature review.
Note 2: This is a combination of two methods that I am trying as of now and have clubbed together. Even though I am still in my developing stage with this format, I thought to share it here.

This is the “Thesis breakdown” or you can call it the “Outline of the dissertation” that I am following for my PhD.

A 🧶

@OpenAcademics @ThePhDPlace @AcademicChatter #SciComm #phdchat #AcademicTwitter
Note: I got these points as one image a while ago but here I am -- who made that image into a presentation. I kind of followed this outline for two of my previous thesis. Also, these are chapter breakdowns.

I hope this turns out to be useful in your PhD dissertation writing.

Research students: Have you come across something called a “Research Skills Checklist”?

I was passed on a checklist by my mentors and professors a few years back when I started my research.

A 🧵

@OpenAcademics @ThePhDPlace @AcademicChatter #SciComm #phdchat #AcademicTwitter
Never wondered how to start a research topic, ways to navigate through it, and where and how to begin? Well, this research skills checklist helped and still helps me. I hope this helps if you haven't come across it.
Note: I don't know who made the checklist originally. You can find a one-page checklist on the internet.

Here I have tried my style of presenting them through my slides. Also, I believe, it's a universal checklist so any research student in any field can try it.
