Hello fellow students
I have a special video for you today. It’s all about creating an academic database. I’ve used this method for years and it got me through graduate school and now allows me to write up and source an article in a fraction of the time.
I’ve been thinking about putting a post like this together even before I had the blog but I recently read a post at the cal newport blog on research wiki’s and thought it might be useful to show students a more simplified version of the same concept.
Endnote and how to use it
The program I use is endnote. If you’ve read the VTA Method you know I’m a real pusher for endnote as it allows any student to database any kind of academic material for easy referencing and implementation. What endnote does is get all the demographic information about a source and then databases it for you. It also automatically creates custom bibliographies which can be customized into any format you choose.
