How to Organise References and Research Paper Notes | Thesis Writing (Episode #6)

I really like your accent, thx for the guide!

Thank you ! That was very helpful. I have tweaked it a bit to use for taking notes on papers for my MSc👍🏾

Very useful... can you share sample spreadsheet

I LOVE YOU THANK YOU

Wow, really wondering why I didn’t do this before. I’m going to start reorganizing my references this week!!

Oh my God! This was perhaps THE MOST HELPFUL video I've seen so far!! Thank you for the tips!!! Agree with one of the comments in regards to sharing the visuals.

This is excellent. I am doing MA and this had really helped. Well done

Thank you so much, that was so helpful! I'm gonna make a spread sheet like that now

Great method, have been using it too. But sometimes I get lost in many papers, especially when i get from one paper to another in that referenced and so on ...when I dont want to miss any important information. How do you deal with that ?

How long did you take in total for your Lit Review ?

SUBSCRIBED. Thank you, I'm going to try your method!

Thank you Julia...It is very helpful.

Thank you for posting this video. I'm at the beginning phase of my thesis prep and this is excellent!

Vary useful tips, THANK YOU! ♥

So helpful! I am looking for how I could organize my researches for my master dissertation.

Thank you, appreciate it!!

This is very useful for me, I am having a hard time organizing all my papers and you just made it easier for me! :) Thanks!

Thank you for these useful advices! I was completely lost and I used this technique which helped me a lot to write my literature review, so thank you very much!!

Hey Julia, thanks so much for your tips, it helped a lot! :D

so much positive energy, marvelous presentation, thanx

You are a God sent!! I am in the first week of my PhD. I just came across your video, and I could just kiss you!! Lol. God is GOOD! Thank you for taking that leap and making this video. I will def check out more of your videos. Stay blessed! Mr. Pennella

Thank you, is there a template for referances, please

This was exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you! Sharing this with my PHD group!

I loved this series! Thank you! Could you share with us your model for this spreadsheet?

I have just started writing my masters thesis and already finding it hard to keep track of all the sources I've been finding. Going to give the spreadsheet a go I think, I had an idea about numbering all my citations/sections I want reference back to for each paper/book etc.. is this a good or bad strategy you think (as someone who has more experience than me! My bachelors thesis organisation was a mess and I am trying to avoid that this time! Thank you for making this video it was super helpful :)

Thanks for the video, though we would have appreciated a copy of the excel format.

Thank you so much, I needed this!! :D

May I ask you did you have template?

Thank you for your video. Super helpful tips! A few questions, do you possibly have a sample page of your Excel sheet to see in detail what your sections and subsections might look like? Not sure I quite follow - don't worry, I'm an MA in Education candidate. Also, do I understand correctly: you upload papers into Mendeley, and then are able to insert those citations into a Word doc when you write? Can you do that in Excel, too? Again, grateful for this video.

It may be easy for you, but for me, it is as hard as going up one hill.

Can you share a template of your spreadsheets?

Thanks for the video, very helpful. In a reply to another comment you mentioned you would upload your template to the website but I can't find it. It would be super helpful if you could share it please?

Beautiful clip ! ❤ Very nice Vlog, Can You make clip.. Organisation, cleaning office desk - Paper Organization Declutter - sorting ripping..normal speed?

So I get that before you go and write a specific section you'll go back through your papers and make those key points and main message notes, but before that are you just reading papers and downloading them to Mendeley and labeling them with which section you think you'll use it for? Or are you just reading random papers and making these notes as you go?

If a paper contains points in several section, how do you organise it?

Thank you so much!

I accidentally clicked on this video and lowkey this is exactly what I needed 😅

Hello! Super helpful advice !
One question, what do you do if a paper covers two different subsections ??

Thank you 💕

Simple yet genious tips! 👌

So.. why use mandalay when you have excel?

Hy, how many papers do you used to read per day. It is really challenging to read many papers and retrive relevant information. Can you provide your suggestions?

Very helpful. And well explained.

Starting my MSc dissertation neeed this

I appreciate your effort for this video and you provided some interesting tips. However you never show for example the actual spreadsheet etc.. It is just dialogue hence difficult to follow through.

just get straight to the point
