Hi All,
Recently started a PhD and I know there's no way I'd be able to keep track and manage the summaries I make of journal articles, summary of lab work, my own thoughts, research designs and plans, all in one place, in a paper format over many years. So, I have been hunting for a software that would help me do this and I stumbled across NVivo. Our University provides the software for free for PhD students and Academic Staff.
I know NVivo is excellent for managing qualitative data analysis in the Arts where they need to transcribe interviews and the like. But what about in the Life sciences? Which software is better? Does NVivo work in the Sciences too? There are no interviews to transcribe.
I wish Endote had a feature for this but the notes field in Endnote is rudimentary at best.
Many thanks.
Never heard of NVivo, but then I didn't really make notes as you are describing during my PhD. I just used Mendeley for PDFs of papers and excel for all my data.
