Using Skim with Scrivener for researching & writing your Thesis « Doctoral School blog
Every Wednesday night, between 19:30 and 20:30 UK time [1] , a ‘brood’ [2] of doctoral researchers from different time-zones gather under the Twitter hashtag #phdchat , for a synchronous chat about different aspects of doctoral research. The week before last, the selected topic was the Literature Review. I mentioned that I often used Skim alongside Scrivener (on a Mac), and was asked if I could explain my workflow a bit, which is what I’ve tried to do here. Please bear with me: these are not comprehensive instructions for these programs, but a brief introduction to each of them, followed by a description of how I integrated them into my thesis-writing workflow. Feel free to ask questions in the comments and I’ll do my best to help, or better yet, refer you to better source to provide you with answers (I used a fantastic little program called ‘ Skitch ‘ to add the numbers, arrows and circles to the images in this post)
