I have a quick question. I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way to create searchable annotations/notes in pdfs. I need everything in DevonThink (eventually). The two options I'm exploring are...
Workflow on Mac - Part II: import-export
8/21/2012
Thank you for the recent discussions on Mac workflows for a PhD thesis (and other academic writing). I've benefited greatly. Let me quickly summarize what I've learnt:
- Use TBX - thanks Steve Z
- K...
Submitted for your consideration

What a great discussion guys! Very helpful. I have no time to comment just now. I will just say that the "taxonomy" diagram you produced Steve is very useful. Perhaps we could develop it further by cr...
Steve, I forgot to thank you as well. My post was directed to you too (along with the rest of the forum). I'm on my way to check out the Scrivener forum now...
Oh and Jim, I take your point about usi...
Thank you both for your input. Hugh, in your first post you suggest that TBX can be used both for note-taking and analysis but then in the second post you propose that TBX is mainly for outlining/str...
Well, I guess it's all relative. My advice is to download a trial and give it a whirl. Perhaps it depends on how central it is to your workflow, if you plan to stick with Altas.ti no matter what (or c...
Thank you for this sobering review yooj. Very helpful!
I am not a lawyer and was unaware of both Casemap and Dedoose. They both sound interesting but I note the issues you raise. I just had a quick ...
Thanks Steve, this is very helpful! The export feature you mention for Scrivener would certainly give it an advantage.
Just a quick update on how I see my workflow coming together, and a few question...

Inspiration 9 On Sale
8/13/2012
Thanks Jerry! Does anyone have any experience with Inspiration 9 they'd care to share? I was struck by its ability to shift between outline view and mapping views - something which I find useful in my...

Jim, thanks for those words of wisdom. It's easy to get carried away with all the new tech out there. By and large I've felt my current workflow is sufficient for smaller projects (mainly Word and tex...
Hi Steve,
Thanks! Looks like it must be possible. I must admit I haven't started using DT yet but fascinated by what I hear/see. Unfortunately there are very few screencasts of it being used in actio...
Thank you for your comments. A few replies:
Daly, I will have a look at MyInfo and Citavi - thanks for the suggestions. I've tried both Mendeley and Evernote but a) I prefer not to work in the cloud ...
Have people noted Atlas.ti, Nudist, NVivo? There are several webpages comparing these (industrial standards). I just bought the newest Atlas.ti 7 but very disappointed. They're still old school in my ...
Hi all,
I am interested in your opinions on what the simplest and most efficient set of tools/apps is for a writer's/researcher's workflow. I am sure you get this sort of query all the time but my he...
Thinking about workflows
11/1/2009
Hi Gang.
A few weeks ago I left a post about workflows that generated some interest: http://www.outlinersoftware.com/messages/viewm/6181. My guess is that more can be gleaned from this topic. To get...
Hi Dr Andus!
Thanks for your comments on work flow and I think it is a very useful discussion (although it perhaps should be broken out like the 'aesthetics' one). A few comments / questions...
I'm...
oh those damn ?smart? quotes.
>>Peter made an offhand comment in another thread...
It's amazing what a word can do sometimes huh?! Good stuff. Yes it was most certainly an off-hand comment but since it?s generated so much discus...
No worries Edwin, and happy to hear that you find it useful.
To answer your (not dumb) question: In the process of brainstorming and catching ideas I generally open a new doc and try to stick with i...
Great! I look forward to reading all about it when you get the chance.:)
In the meantime does anyone have recent experience to share with pdf annotation / markup?

Hi Lucas,
Thank you for all the tips! It seems to me like you have a developed a great research workflow integrated with some cool apps. Do you mind summarizing it here for us (well at least for me) ...

The Ethnograph is priced at $99 for students, but I've not used it myself.
Thanks for posting and no worries about coming late to the party.
Point taking about aesthetics and research. I'm no fan of Vista (an example of aesthetic design gone bad). I've stuck with XP. Nevert...
