7 insanely useful academic apps you've not heard about!

Thank you so much for the information

You're Awesome !!! Great job....

Thanks, Andy. I didn't know any of the tools, so I'm looking forward to trying them out.

Wisio and sourcely have change my writing process … Thank you !!!

I've found Speechify to be a good, but not great, tool for digesting academic papers. You can upload your PDFs, etc., and the app will read them to you. I run alot and also go on a lot of long walks with my dog, so I value an app that can maximize that time. It's better than listening to music or a podcast when I have the bandwidth. It doesn't always work, but it's great when it does.

Wild wild wild. I am excited and worried at the same time for Writefull, ChatGTP and Quilbot. But still use it🥺🧐🤓😎

Can we check the feasibility of the app before purchasing the same

I'm just waiting for the date of my dissertation defense and I will be done with my PhD in physics. Unfortunately, my supervisor has not been at all supportive about me writing and publishing journal articles. I have a dissertation I am proud of, but all the many details seem so interconnected I don't know how to break it up into articles. I think I should have been taught that skill, but I wasn't. What can I do now? I writing itself is less of a problem than how to identify the smallest subset of the work that can reasonably be published and how to separate that bit out.

great content. Thank you

very useful video..Thanks for giving this video..

Love the energy of this video. Really helpful tips. Thanks!

Otlet does not seem to exist anymore.

Great video! Thanks! All of these were new to me. I love how cutting edge your channel is. Thank you so much!

thanks

I've watched probably ten videos this week that claim something is "insane". So far, none of them were more than pedantic clickbait, and I am sick to death of hype.

Has this list changed in the past two years?

The algorithm just served your channel up to me a few days ago so I know I'm late to the party. When I first saw paper-digest, I was excited, but after about a week of usage, I have grown disenchanted with it. I wanted to use it to help prioritize a bunch of papers I need to read, but after about 3 to 5 papers summarized, I get repeated "500 internal service errors". This happens every time I try to summarize multiple papers. When I review the summaries, they aren't very good. The summarizing algorithm misses too many important details or tosses up some statistical analyses without proper context to really understand the point. In the end, it has not been the time-saver I was hoping it would be.

Litmaps, on the other hand, is FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!! It helped me turn around a revise & resubmit I received very quickly. You know good ol' reviewer 2 (it's always reviewer 2) made the criticism that I needed more up to date references in one of my sections. Litmaps made it a simple process to make sure that section was as current as current could be.

7 apps that make the lazy even more lazy.

Stopped watching after the sentence „..when you need to take your Word document…“.
Using KI to digest papers, using KI to write papers, trying to accomplish your own contribution with WORD, really? That is your advice for junior academics?

scihub

Don’t these apps make us dumber? Being able to communicate is critical.

A bunch of AI generated crap is on the way into academia, too.

Thank you very much.

OGS15 (orbit-gravity-sim-15) predicts the perihelion precession of all the planets better than any other model.

pushing us down the path to intellectual devolution...

"paper digest" -- why not read abstracts instead; isn't that their express purpose? "writefull" -- if you can't write grammatical English, what are you doing in graduate school or with a graduate degree in the first place? I see numerous grammatical errors in papers' abstracts, but I've put this down to researchers not having English as their first language; now it dawns on me that the rot in academia extends to native speakers being unable to produce grammatical English -- very much doubt that artificial intelligence is going to compensate! I foolishly thought your apps would consist of tools that would directly expand laypeople's access to science.

Trying writefull and don't mean to hate on it, but all it did up to now is correct some of my (I assume) americanized english into british, put a couple of comas, and suggested i delete my footnotes for some reason, which i did absent-mindedly. Now spent some time undoing basically everything it did. Luckily only tried it on a 2-page document so it didn't mess up anything important. There were no stylistic suggestions, or any edits regarding narrative cohesion, however, which I thought was the point of the app. Maybe it thinks my writing is already good enough (in which case, thanks!). Is it not supposed to do more though?

Love, Love You Andy... You are my go-to person for all things research!!!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips. I am doing research in the legal fields and finds that the tools you suggest are very helpful!

Thank you Mr. Andy Stapleton. Appreciations for your simple and easily understandable English for non-English speaking persons. God bless you friend

Connected papers

Thank you so much for such useful programs!

Yes, you told me what I didn't know...😂

I am loving Writeful😘. Really great app

Hy Andy! I want to thank you for the work you are doing here!! I was wondering if you know any AI tool that can help me speed up the Risk of BIAS assessment. I've found robotreviewer, but it seems dismissed... Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance!

Hi Andy … love your videos … i can write papers .. but many American journals like the writing to be translated into a theoretical model. do you know whether there are any tools to convert your writing to a model?

Oh way you're amazing! Subscribed

In my case, I found that The Paper Digest focused too heavily on one specific finding and failed to acknowledge the primary contribution of the paper, which was the experiment conducted.

paper-digest does not work for me.

Do Writefull installed on Wind 2016 please respond sir

I LOVE YOUR BEARD!

Thanks 😊
