Using Brainstorming (Mind Mapping) Software

Some computer software programs can facilitate the process of breaking problems into subproblems; you might see these referred to as either brainstorming or mind mapping software.

Examples of commercially available programs are BrainStorm, Inspiration, MindJet, and XMind; a free online alternative is Coggle (coggle.it). Such programs allow you to brainstorm research ideas and construct graphic networks of interrelated concepts, terms, and principles. For example, in Inspiration, you put the main problem, idea, or concept inside a box or oval in the middle of your computer screen. As you brainstorm other, related ideas, you put those on the screen as well, and you draw (and perhaps label) arrows to represent how various ideas are interconnected. You can break each concept or problem into subparts and, if helpful, break down each subpart even further. The process is fast and flexible, and you can save and print your final diagram (Figure 3.1 in Chapter 3 is an example). Some brainstorming software programs also allow you to convert your diagram into an outline that lists major topics and various levels of subtopics.

Adding Reference Keys Manually: With this feature, researchers can assign a reference key to the node of a mind map. This way researchers can reference their sources from within the mind map.Adding Reference Keys (BibTeX) Automatically: If a file (e.g. PDF) is linked from a mind map and the same file is linked in the bibliographic database (BibTeX), SciPlore MindMapping extracts the BibTeX key and assigns it to the corresponding node in the mind map.PDF Bookmark Import: When a user drag&drops a PDF to a mind map, all bookmarks of the PDF are imported as separate nodes and each of the nodes is linked to the PDF file.PDF Monitoring: When new PDFs are stored in a folder on the user's hard drive, these PDFs are listed in the mind map.

SciPlore MindMapping is supposed to be the first mind mapping tool that integrates mind mapping with reference management and enables the import of PDF bookmarks.[2] The software maintains a compatible file format to FreeMind 0.9.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Diagram to visually organize information A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information into a hierarchy, showing relationships among pieces of the whole.[1] It is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added.

Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those major ideas. Mind maps can also be drawn by hand, either as "notes" during a lecture, meeting or planning session, for example, or as higher quality pictures when more time is available. Mind maps are considered to be a type of spider diagram.[2] Origins[edit] Differences from other visualizations[edit] Research[edit] Effectiveness[edit] Features[edit] Automatic creation[edit] There have been some attempts to create mind maps automatically.
