Posted on 05:03 by Unknown
Below are some of the web tools that a web 2.0 researcher & graduate student in the faculty of education in Mount Saint Vincent University has recommended to fellow students to use for academic research. Check them out below and make sure you share them with your friends. This list is not all inclusive and your instructor may have additional sites for you to use within their class.

The list below is a repost from: 10 Great Tools for Academic Research You Should Know about

1- Zotero


Zotero is the only research tool that automatically senses content, allowing you to add it to your personal library with a single click. Whether you're searching for a preprint on arXiv.org, a journal article from JSTOR, a news story from the New York Times, or a book from your university library catalog, Zotero has you covered with support for thousands of sites.

2- Endnote

EndNote gives you the tools you need for searching, organizing and sharing your research. It allows you to easily create bibliographies while writing your next paper with features like Cite While You Write . Maximize your time with features like finding full text for your references and automatically updating records. Whether you’re on your desktop, online, or iPad, EndNote’s syncing capabilities let you access all of your references, attachments, and groups from anywhere.

3- Mendeley

View the components of your draft individually or as a whole. Import and refer to research files such as images and PDFs alongside your writing.
