This was a tough choice. There are three big players in the citation software market.We choose EndNote only because it provides some advanced functions. However, competing products are better in other domains. One of them is visuals. EndNote looks outdated and you’ll definitely have to watch a tutorial or 2 on how to use it.
Zotero is extremely user-friendly and has an extension for Chrome to cite web content.Mendeley offers a social network, where researchers can communicate & collaborate.
Honorable mentions: Zotero, Mendeley.
SPSS is used by thousands of students and researchers worldwide. It offers many functions for advanced statistical procedures, such as factor analysis, ANOVA.Moreover, you can import data tables right from Excel and run tests. Also it allows you to quickly visualize your quantitative data with plots, charts, and graphs.
Lastly, the interface definitely isn’t striking, but at least it’s not difficult to orient around the software!
Honorable mentions: STATA, Number Analytics, JASP
There are many platforms that allow you to create surveys. Qualtrics is one of the most popular tools among universities. It comes with a wide range of functions and allows you to do virtually anything with regard to data analysis. The interface is also quite intuitive. The only downside is – it’s super expensive, that’s why it’s mostly used by universities and big organizations.
Honorable mentions: Google Forms, SurveyMonkey
OCR is a straightforward technology that can potentially add tons of value to your workflow. Although most content (as well as literature) is available online, there will be a few occasions where you’ll have to work with real paper-based books or hand-written texts.
OCR allows you to convert written or printed text into encoded text that you can copy, paste, edit, etc. There are hundreds of tools out there, but they all provide the same basic functions.
Free Online OCR is very simple to use.
If you’re looking for a tool that would allow managing tasks, to-do lists, and projects – there are many options available.Many people are wondering why Trello is not our first recommendation. Although Trello is nice and user-friendly, when it comes to visuals – Miro is just one step ahead.
You can literally visualize everything and make your whiteboard look exactly the way you envision it. Something that Trello desperately lacks.
Honorable mentions: Trello, Monday.com
You all know how big of a deal is plagiarism in the academic world. But how does plagiarism software work?
Turnitin is known as the most sophisticated plagiarism detection software out there. It uses certain machine learning algorithms (such as Natural Language Understanding), which makes plagiarism detection very accurate. The downside is the same as for Qualtrics – only businesses and universities can afford a license.
Honorable mentions: Grammarly, BachelorPrint, Quetext
