I use iAnnotate and PDF Expert on my iPad for all reading and annotation of journal articles/ pdfs. I use Curio Core for brainstorming and arranging ideas and creating outlines, and for some data sorting.
#Devonthink pro review how to
I only switched to mac less than half a year ago so I'm still in the process of figuring out how to best organise my work, but this is what I'm doing at the moment: I have one on iPad apps here, if you have an iPad: Yes, I was planning to start a more general 'academic work apps' thread, but haven't gotten around to it. Do you have experience with EndNote/ know how it compares to Sente? I've been looking at some reviews, but EndNote is the supported program at my uni (and I've used it for years), so I'm likely to just stick with that for a while. a folder and sub folders for particular articles or other writing projects). I have, however, started to build more project based clusters in DT (e.g. So I'm not sure exactly what I'd be gaining with moving the whole spiel as it is to DT. On the other hand, I now have a folder structure on my work pc which is duplicated to DropBox, which in turn connects with iAnnotate and PDF Expert and that system is working quite well for me. I haven't quite decided whether to transfer my whole research library to DT or not. The iPad is great as an e-reader for academic texts.

I also carry my whole research library with me and I'm using iAnnotate and PDF Expert for reading and annotation. I don't want to lose out on any hidden potential of this app. I still haven't bought that book, but I will. * A Literature library for manuals, reference materialsįor me, the biggest question at hand is do I trust the database to store everything and be able to retrieve it from inside the database, or do I merely let DT index my folder structure and contents, or how to mix the both strategies.įeel free to PM me any ideas you have or suggestions, but I think I'm going to start posting in the DT forums more than here.īut I agree, the potential of DT is there - it's just understanding how to make the best use out of it. * Personal projects like programming classwork I am thinking to expose some of my work DB using the built in webserver, so I've made separate DB's for: Also there appears to be a performance drop-off once a DB exceeds something like 200-300k entries and 200-300 million words (or something like that, it was a huge number), but DT can search multiple DBs nearly simultaneously. The best answer I found to the "How many databases?" question was to use separate databases for distinct separations of information that really don't bear any inter-relations. The software is so powerful and customizable that there is no one-size fits all approach.
#Devonthink pro review manuals
I've found the Devonthink Forums have pretty good and also the PDF manual - it's one of the few manuals I find myself reading page by page. I'm in the same boat - I tried the trial for a few days and just yesterday purchased the full blown DevonThink Pro Office and a Fujitsu ScanSnap 1500m.
