However, the web version, desktop version and phone app all sync together brilliantly so I can access my data everywhere or write down a new idea on the go. The desktop version is the most versatile, and the easiest to work with. Whenever I found a relevant bit from the same book, I would photograph, label and upload to the same notebook, using the formatĪfter I have made the scans I want using Scannable on my phone, I go to the Evernote desktop app which syncs notes and notebooks from my phone, and vice versa. When you are happy with the scan, you can label it and upload it directly to a specific Evernote notebook as a PDF.įor example, I used Scannable to make a scan of page 2 of “Errand to the World”, labelled it “02 secular scholarship on foreign missions begins in 1970s” (so I’d remember the main point I wanted to remember from page 2) and then uploaded it to my notebook “Hutchison Errand to the World”.
If the app fails to accurately detect the edge of the page, you can easily manually crop it. The Scannable app is designed by Evernote and when you photograph a page with it, the app will automatically sense the edges of the page, crop the photo, and flatten out the photo into a two-dimensional scan like a book page.
Errand to the World: American Protestant Thought and Foreign missions. Chicago & London : University of Chicago Press, 1987.Īs I read through the book, I use the “ Scannable” app to take scans of one or multiple pages at a time. For example, for the following book, I created a notebook called “Hutchison Errand to the World”:
For each book I read that has more than one or two significant points that I want to use, I create a notebook in Evernote for that book, titled by author surname followed by title of the book. When it comes to masters and doctoral work, the key to a successful thesis or dissertation is organizing your data. It is great that you are learning all sorts of relevant and interesting information, but will you be able to find it again when it comes time to write? There are lots of different software options out there, such as Zotero, OneNote, and Endnote, but for my doctoral research I’ve put all my eggs in the Evernote basket. Everyone needs to find what works for them, but in this post I want to briefly explain how I use Evernote to gather and organize research data from books, articles, and websites so that I’ll be able to readily find and use that information later.įor most non-primary source research, I read a lot of books and articles, as most people do.
