Hi Tom! I have a question..how do you make possible to have open the article together with marked text together with Evernote? Is it all connected with Evernote or the article is open independently from Evernote? I do not know if I am clear with that.. :) however, thanks in advance!
So, I use the "absolute chaos" method. It includes finding way too many cool sources that may or may not include a single sentence that is crucial for my papers and which I will frantically try to remember when I actually need it.
@@Tom_Nicholas HELP what tips do you have for hkw to keep reading papers so it is not boring and discouraging and depressing? Papers arent engaging like comic books or novels or fiction books..it really sucks..why cant they be like that..I hope you can respond when you can.
this was actually sooo helpful coz as someone who's been an undergrad for just three weeks and knows nil about this ish i was close to having a breakdown before finding this
Using Evernote and preemptively writing your citations is actually a huge tip! I've spent way too much time at the 11th hour trying to get my references sorted. 😓
THis is part of my beating-procrasting-method obviously, therefore responding to your comment is also very significant for my study. Anyways, have a lovely day, i am gonna cry now
Oooh my. You are heaven sent! I have two weeks to submit a 3000 word report😭. I have been doubting whether I'm doing the right thing in terms of sourcing information. Many thanks to you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. I feel confident to get a lot of work done this week!
That's so useful Tom! Especially the parts about highlighting the text and how you take notes in Evernote. Been using Mendeley to get the citations right and downloading PDFs, just to avoid typos when copying them. Would love more tips, your entire playlist is so helpful!
ma guy!! thanks I actually felt a bit overwhelmed few minutes ago but seeing this kinda shed some hope - best way to get where you going is to get started, that's my psychological sense kicking in. I couldn't figure out which is the best way to take notes 🥳.
I used to take notes like you, but since I’m quite chaotic I’ve found that it is a lot easier for me to just write a small paragraph (citations and all) for all the info that I find, and then at the end copy the document with 30+ pages of writing for my 10 page essay and in the second document I cut and rewrite and boil down the whole thing to a clear and condensed essay.
I'm less organised than that... I write out the reference and paraphrase the bits I want to remember and add it to the multilevel bullet point plan of the essay (that I outline as early in the process as possible). My papers rarely have direct quotes from the reading but I never write more than 10% over the target length of an essay before editing.
Hi Tom, Yay! I am happy that I found your channel. I've been looking for this such technical sharing. Good to know how other people doing in 'technical' part of PhD like organising journal articles, reviewing literature, note taking, writing research paper, etc. Not so many people share their methods and I'm glad I found yours. Just subscribed and looking forward for more updates! cheers
Hey Nurul! I'm glad you found it too and hope it's in some way useful during your studies! Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like me to do a video about!
yeah it s the famous questions we doctorat students have ,is my methode of reading suficient are other effictive methodes been used by others that i may learn and use is my methode too time taking ,how can i read with effeciency by taking notes and extracting the necessary info all by taking less time possible ... its good to see our other friends from phd sharing thiers
+Amr Del Yeah, I think I've finally (after a year) become fairly settled on my method but I still look at my colleagues' and wonder whether they've cracked it better than me!
Thanks Tom! I've just finished my first semester of uni and have found reading and digesting journal articles a bit of challenge - this method should help put me on the right track!
Mendeley has the options of different colors, so I use that for diferentiating the reason I highlighted it - green "to cite", blue "very relevant", pink "key take-away". Plus, when I copy the sentences to Word, where I write my papers, I color it the same color as it is highlighted, so going back is very easy.
Thank you for the video. After taking a gap year and suddenly plunging into higher level courses, I'm finding myself swimming in readings without much guidance with how to go about with them. Great video!
ahhh ive been so impressed by the amount of research you do in your videos so wanted to know how you trained to do so, lo and behold, your oldest video!
Great video! I use a color-coded system for highlighting. Yellow: general information Blue: key concepts/ideas Green: definitions Red: super important stuff (conclusions, unique findings, etc.) Purple: info that’s directly useful to the project I’m working on and that I want to quote fully. Obviously you can use different colors for different things. But it helps, when going back to an article, to be able to quickly identify what type of information you need.
I love this! It's so helpful and it works for any stage of an academic career. Some academic writing teachers could actually use some of these tips to improve their courses.
Nice and clear, I will show this to my students. They have been asking me to do feedback and commentary of examples. I have drawn inspiration from you and now have givven live commentary and feedback on real student literature reviews, I made them for my lectures but now rerecorded them for UA-cam and now made them accessible. Good luck on your journey - Dr Egan
Thank a lot Tom, I am doing my master thesis by using onenote and google keep. I organized articles according to my thesis topics .I gather about 45 article, now thinking to read and take notes each of them 🙈 seems too much time and effort !😔🤔That's a long way, wish me luck !
As a doctor, I’m quite intrigued to see if this might help me a bit. Admittedly I don’t often have to write stuff after reading papers but occasionally this might be useful for a Journal club or somesuch.
I teach College English Composition, and I've found that my syllabus is really lacking when it comes to HOW to actually do the heavy work of research, so I think this will be really helpful to share with my students. Thanks!
This was very helpful, thank you! I have been looking for a more streamlined way of taking notes while reading, and this technique is perfect. I especially appreciate the tip to place the article citation at the top of the notes for future reference.
Aaye, nice to see a fellow Knight here. Tom's video about jote taking and putting the citations at the top is pretty useful. Another thing that I've read that has revolutionized the way I read stuff and took notes would be Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Dorean's book _How To Read A Book_ . Despite it's title, it's one of the most insightful and enlightening books that I've ever read, because it taught me how to read deeper, how to approach reading different types of work , and subsequently how to take better notes on the books that I read, whether it's fiction or non-fiction. I definitely recommend it if you haven't already. It was through reading that that I also developed my own Note Taking method using notebooks and multi colored gel pens. When I'm studying something and taking notes on it, I like to use 6 different types of color ink so it spices up the look of my notes rather than looking like the same black ink color throughout and it makes going back through the notes much quicker and easier. The sort of Coloring Ink Legend that I use is this: Blue- Titles/Sections Black- Normal Notes Red- Special Terms/Quotes Green- Personal Thoughts Orange (with multicolor)- Drawings/Illustrations/Mind Maps/Graphs, etc. Purple- Summary at the end . But yeah, what are your note taking techniques?
Very useful! Please keep videos of this type coming! Very useful for those like me starting off and not having clue how to systemize and simplify the process of academic writing :)
+The Nizzah One No worries! I find it has the best balance of having some useful features without being so whizzy as to get in the way. One of the only things that's persuaded me to swap it for the apps that already came on my phone. Also, the free version is more than enough (unless you want to upload loads of photos or something).
This is so helpful! I am starting my PhD this September so wanted to use the next few months to create an organisation plan - better to start organised than to get organised later on and then have to review everything you went over before. Thanks for sharing your tips - really appreciated - I've subscribed :)
+Evie Bamigbade Glad it was useful Evie and best of luck with starting out, I'm sure you'll find it a really fun challenge! Let me know if there's anything else you'd be interested to hear about before you start, suggestions and questions are always welcome!
Thank you Tom :). I will defo be sure to send some questions and video suggestions your way :). Maybe a video where you mention 5 things you wish you knew/did before starting your PhD?
For research papers I usually do the standard thing of reasing abstract, then method titles, thenconclusions, then results & discussion, in any order, then if necessary some methods sections. If I feel I don't have the paper down by that I might do a re-read of some sections. I've had phases of highlighting, but I find these are not consistent with each other lol
My method is little bit different. I use mendeley for keeping all papers and treepads software for note taking. I usually collect the keyword in one parent tree, then check the references for all author who discuss about that keyword. Each author has one child tree. In that child tree only exist one paper with the author and what he says about the keyword. So then, if there are 5-6 author then i can emulate those all words and make my own words.
Great tips for organization to synthesize the information later. The dissertation process is a world apart from traditional study patterns. Much of the information that is needed for citation can get lost in the process without good organization.
@@Tom_Nicholas Just wanted to say thank you for your introduction to OneNote/EverNote as well. I had not used these before and after your video I googled some info on them and started my own OneNote system. It wasn't difficult to learn and now I can have all my information in one place. I spent the entire morning moving my Lit review notes and references into OneNote. Thanks again.
I enjoyed your video and how you take notes. Love that you are noting content for citations in your notes. My only suggestion is to note the name of the author cited in the original content into your Evernote citation because if you chose to use that sentence, your citation in APA should include that author (citing a secondary source) and you might forget otherwise.
I will admit I haven’t watched this back for a while so hopefully am remembering what’s in the video right but... I’d generally avoid citing sources which are citing sources and, instead, dig out the original source that is being cited. That’s why, usually, I jot down just the source they’re referring to and then go away and appraise that on its own merit. It can look a little lazy to have not have done so (although sometimes it’s unavoidable). But, yes, if noting down a citation within a source, important to have the ‘cited in’ in your notes.
Do you have an extended version of this video? Or further tips & tricks for note-taking and 'getting your school-shit together' :) love the videos btw, you're a very likeable person!
Thank yo so much. I would like you to do more videos on philosophers -Marx, Hegel, post modernists,post colonial. I have watched almost all of your videos . They are simple, clear and crisp.
I know I might be a bit late, but has anyone used Citavi? It´s actually very nice, because you can organise your literature and your quotations and it gives you a complete bibliography you can export
This is incredibly helpful! I am an undergrad in the very beginnings of my research and haven't been able to figure out how to keep track of all of this stuff as I prepare to apply for grad school. Thank you for the tips!
Oh cool, always nice to know how my videos are being used (although still weird that actual lecturers often send people my way!). Hope you found it helpful!
Whatever works for you really! I don't find the Kindle app all that intuitive but it's really useful to have a way of reading and taking notes on ebooks and I think I'm right in saying that the Kindle app has a useful feature where you can easily export all the notes you've taken or highlights you've made.
That is an excellent method for noting and emphasizing journal articles. For sociology research all you really need to highlight are the operational definitions and the significance level. Not that sociology isn't a scientific discipline, it sort of is. Or that alpha = .01 isn't noteworthy, it sort is. It is that we should be keenly aware of the limits and reliability of such measures..
You looked fresh and not complicate face, usually people work in journal or writing has a more serious face like prof. Einstein :) Anyway I like your accent
I've always had this confusion: When we cite a sentence with a citation (e.g. "We conceptualize cosmopolitan cities...(Mosterin, 2005)"), do we not cite the original author (e.g. Mosterin, 2005)) as it is an indirect citation? Or am I mistaken with this method? Thank you for the video! I utilized the same method too when I was on my thesis, only I did manually😅I hope to learn more from your channel👍
this is neat, but why do you type out the quote instead of just copy and pasting it? to polish your typing skills? or does typing it out help you remember it better?
Thanks for watching everyone! A bunch more of my Essay Tips videos can be found here: ua-cam.com/play/PLIVcDWpMT7KfEYHOg54Lk6Wy-cyhkR84Z.html

You can also use zotero and mendley for the citation and bibliography generation.
Hey, Microsoft Word has an in-put citation sorting! And it does your bibliography too! I can't recommend it enough
Use bibliographic management softwares like EndNote, Zotero, or Mendeley to organize your references.
We social scientists in so much trouble keeping in mind the articles. As an undergraduate psychology student, it will help me a lot! Thank you📚
The idea with writing down the full reference line is so good. I have no idea why I never do this. Good reason to start now.
Who is actually searching videos on how to study instead of actually studying lol 🙈
I am doing it, I actually starts to get bore when I read an article so start to search, what is the best of method of reading :D

Plus, when I copy the sentences to Word, where I write my papers, I color it the same color as it is highlighted, so going back is very easy.
for those who are too lazy to remember how to compile a correct citation, you can export styled citation from mendeley directly.
Or with the Google Scholar extension
and citation machine!

Whatever works for you really! I don't find the Kindle app all that intuitive but it's really useful to have a way of reading and taking notes on ebooks and I think I'm right in saying that the Kindle app has a useful feature where you can easily export all the notes you've taken or highlights you've made.
how do you visualize references without scrolling all the way down everytime?
It was a very helpful video, thank you!
great video , I really enjoy it!!
Good work mate, thanks 👍🏻
That is an excellent method for noting and emphasizing journal articles. For sociology research all you really need to highlight are the operational definitions and the significance level. Not that sociology isn't a scientific discipline, it sort of is. Or that alpha = .01 isn't noteworthy, it sort is. It is that we should be keenly aware of the limits and reliability of such measures..
Thanks for the tips! Keep up the good work!
No worries, hope they were useful in some small way!
Absolutely. Going for my Education Specialist degree now (after my masters) so I continue to refine my study skills! :)
God bless you man
You looked fresh and not complicate face, usually people work in journal or writing has a more serious face like prof. Einstein :)
Anyway I like your accent
Thank you for sharing this. You saved me a lot of time.
I've always had this confusion: When we cite a sentence with a citation (e.g. "We conceptualize cosmopolitan cities...(Mosterin, 2005)"), do we not cite the original author (e.g. Mosterin, 2005)) as it is an indirect citation? Or am I mistaken with this method?
Thank you for the video! I utilized the same method too when I was on my thesis, only I did manually😅I hope to learn more from your channel👍
this is neat, but why do you type out the quote instead of just copy and pasting it?
to polish your typing skills? or does typing it out help you remember it better?
