It
actually depends - do you have an online or offline workflow for your
research? There are some good academic and non-academic bookmarking
tools that can help you either ways.
actually depends - do you have an online or offline workflow for your
research? There are some good academic and non-academic bookmarking
tools that can help you either ways.
Online Workflow
a. Google scholar
- This is where I start my research process often. I will start
searching by keywords and start with most cited references. Based on
relevancy to my research area, I will then save them to my library for
future reference. Also useful to find all the related work of the
author.

b. Paperpile
- You can add all your references that you come across online, and all
will go to your google docs. You can even download to .bib or endnote
format as you wish. It’s not free but definitely a tool worth trying
out. Google docs integration really makes it easy, as I can have all my
references list from different sources in one place.

references list from different sources in one place.
c. Pocket
- Okay, this is a generic bookmarking tool, but you can tag all your
research paper articles with the specific tag for future reference. This
helps me collect online articles really fast and find my all research
tagged sources at one place.

tagged sources at one place.
d. Highly
- This tool lets you highlight articles online. What’s best about this
chrome plugin is that, all your article highlights come as a feed on
your highly home page, with the source also listed. Rather than
collecting whole articles, it lets you collect part of articles that
will help your work. This is really helpful in annotating parts of
articles that I could refer back in the future.

Offline Workflow
Okay, so you would have already heard of Mendeley, Zotero
etc. Especially if you already know the research papers you want to
refer in the future, you can use these desktop softwares to quickly add
your references in one place. One good thing about these softwares is
that, you can quickly download all references in a .bib or endnote xml
format that you can quickly integrate with your writing software.

a. Mendeley - You can search by those recently read, recently added, authors who wrote etc.
b. Zotero - Cleaner interface, easy to export all your references in one click.
In both cases, you can add all research papers to your collection and export them on to MS Word or Typeset when you are ready to start writing.
