This is so far just a proposal – I did not fully test it out yet, but have exlored options for two days and this seems best, for my requirements. (And thanks to mantas in the comments, whose tip for Docear lead to this major rework of an earlier article, which was using Freemind instead.) Tool collection My proposal uses the following tools, which you should install (available for both Windows and Linux): Chromium. Workflow [TODO: Show how to use Dropbox or an open source replacement for it to sync your (cited, and only those) fulltext files with annotations to your server. Document collecting. Reasoning My last thesis was written in OpenOffice.org (now LibreOffice), and the one feature I really missed there was a comfortable way of moving notes, snippets and other parts of text around.

Since that thesis, I became a FreeMind enthusiast, using it for nearly all my personal information management. My reasons for individual aspects of this solution: Why Zotero. BibSonomy website. Blog: Writing a PhD thesis using FreeMind and LateX : My FreeMind Latex import plug-in. I am currently in the process of writing my PhD thesis, and I discovered that relying on a mind mapping software can in fact revealed very useful especially at the beginning of the process. Indeed, I found mind mapping softwares like FreeMind very useful tools to graphically organize ideas into a hierarchy and that allows you to quickly and very efficiently construct and update the outline of your thesis. It is actually easy to export a mindmap from FreeMind into a hierarchy of latex sections, in order to directly get your document structure ready to fill.

The only problem when working like this is that once you have exported your document structure from Freemind into latex, you have made modifications and written some sections into your latex, there is no way to import it back to FreeMind in order to reorganize your document. To allow this usage, I wrote a small groovy script for FreeMind that read a latex file and build the tree hierarchy out of it. Have fun ! Mind map gallery.

Translations: Chinese (thanks to Chen Feng) | Portuguese (thanks to Marcelo Cruz dos Santos) | Russian (thanks to Sergey Loy) | send us your translation How to write a PhD thesis? This is not a trivial task. Related literature needs to be found, notes need to be taken and finally the thesis has to be drafted and written including the creation of the bibliography. Dozens of books exist about how to do a literature survey and how to write a PhD and scholarly literature in general (e.g. [1-9]). However, software tools that might help in doing a literature survey or writing a thesis are hardly covered by these books, if at all. You will spend the next couple of years doing your PhD (or months if you are doing a Master or Bachelor). You have read my mind.

You are helping to tackle the biggest obstacle to my research I really like SciPlore’s approach. I’m in the middle of my PhD and was becoming overwhelmed with the amount of information I need to manage. Great software! I love your product.
