OUTLINE Overview of research facilitation tools Plenary Discussion: Crowdsourcing / Building a collective list of relevant online tools (e.g., ORCID, reference management software, etc.)
RESEARCH FACILITATION TOOLS Free, open-source reference management software Online, free transcription services (unfortunately, mostly for English transcription) Research management & collaboration Maximizing research identity & impact Do you use any research facilitation tools? What are they? Why do you use them?
REFERENCE MANAGEMENT Zotero Free, open-source reference management software to manage bibliographic data and related research materials. Zotero requires a fee for storing pdfs but is great to directly download citations from websites without any manual work. It also fully integrates with Quarto Mendeley Free reference manager software EndNote Basic This is a free version of EndNote (up to 21 different citation styles, up to 50,000 references) Note that EndNote Basic comes with limited features. For example, you will have less storage space than in the full version, and you will not be able to mark up PDFs within the program What are other tools / resources you've used?
WRITING AND TRANSCRIPTION Overleaf Open-source online real-time collaborative LaTex editor Transcription Services: Microsoft Online 360, Otter.ai Quarto for merging text and code in R, python, Julia, even SAS with some more effort, etc. Can produce full manuscripts and has a visual editor like MS Word.

RESEARCH MANAGEMENT & COLLABORATION A tip from Prof. Arie Havelaar: Basecamp Project Management software for online collaboration I have tried collaboration tools a couple of times in my lab without a lot of success. They require a lot of effort to organize and maintain. Shared platforms like Dropbox, Teams or Google Docs are more applicable although I don t like the latter unlike a lot of folks. For nerds, try GitHub. Dimension Online collaboration platform Jira by Atlassian Issue & Project Tracking software What are other tools / resources you've used?
MAXIMIZING RESEARCH IDENTITY & IMPACT ORCID A free online platform that connects and disseminates your research Google Scholar Profile - a simple way to broadcast your scholarly work and search for scholarly literature Web of Science - index of world's leading scholarly journals, including cited reference searching and filters for quality Scopus- comprehensive, multi-disciplinary abstract and citation database PubMed for medical research in a broad context What are other tools / resources you've used?
