Grad Students Represent: Note Taking / References on OS X
Scott Elias | Feb 16 2007
My new MacBook arrived last week. As I am beginning a doctoral program in the fall, I'm interested in knowing what others are using to (1) take notes on the Mac, and (2) start building a reference or bibliography for a dissertation. For note taking, I have Googled up quite a few, including:
And for references/bibliography building, I have heard about Endnote. Ultimately whatever I choose I want to be able to stick with for my entire program so I'm not worrying about compatibility issues, etc. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!! Scott 42 Comments

I'm >90% certain that if your school has a graduate math program, there will be some LaTeX styles for theses and dissertations they created. They may date back 20 years like ours does, and have some of its methods for formatting may have been superseded by better addon packages, but it'd be a start. There is definitely a learning curve. Oetiger's TeXShop is a good Mac-friendly front end to all the LaTeX programs. And from my university's style guides, examples of stuff the students would actually have to look at: very simple chapter 2. I'll stop derailing the OS X thread now. But at least I mentioned TeXShop. » POSTED IN:
