Lovely to hear about your ideas for this year. And I love when you and Ryan and Arron relax and have a joke at the Nutmeg Tavern - makes me smile!

2021-02-18 17:44:02 +0000 UTCIt will improve your life immensely. I know exactly what that information overload feels like!!! It is so hard to organize it all in your head, much less get it back out again in a coherent way that other people can learn from. π€£ If you have any way to talk to a university librarian I'd start there. They can direct you to a lot of resources. Check books about researching PhDs too. There will be a lot of good tips. If I can find some of my old resources I'll message you with them. Cheers!

2021-01-10 14:55:45 +0000 UTCGrowing pains are good! :) As a medical researcher I wanted to offer up some advice about organizing references and maximizing productivity around your research. I have no idea what you all know about this sort of thing, so this is really basic stuff. If you need more advanced tips also glad help. There are a number of fantastic free reference managers such as Mendeley, Refworks ProQuest, Endnote, and Zotero. They have tagging functions, bespoke filing functions, you can attach scans of paper articles to the reference files, create fast reference lists, save links with a reference, and organize the saved references, and much more! Some even have plug in functions to Chrome or Word. Every university library has information about using these tools, generally in free public facing documents. Most librarians are also happy to help :) Because I read hundreds of journal articles at a time I keep a written journal/diary too. If I see something interesting I make a note about it, summary etc.. and then when I save the reference it is tagged with a date. I can easily go back and thumb through the diary to find ideas and access the papers again. It's pretty handy and allows me to track the developmentof ideas. I also have a systematic review sheet (word doc) that I fill out to summarize findings as I read and then attach it to the reference file in the reference manager along with the PDF of the article itself. That way when I go back everything is right there. I also use the tagging functions. For instance I might tag a reference for "back pain". Then when I want to recall that topic again all I have to do is go into the manager and search for that tag. All papers tagged with that come right up. Effectively using reference managing software is a life saver. Lol. I hope that helps, if you all already use a system then great!! If not hope it was useful. :) Always glad to share tips on that. Thanks for sharing all your thoughts with us. I'm looking forward to more content! PS- I'm also very interested in 18th c. Farming and animal production so I second any request for stuff on that topic. Thank you so much for everything you all do!!!
