My Current workflow needs to be less complicated and cumbersome.I'm interested to hear what apps & workflows people are currently using in order to facilitate PDF annotation and note-taking. What are the most important aspects of your (current or envisioned) workflow?
Currently, I use:
- DevonThink Pro (ubiquitous file storage and PubMed queries - which are then exported to...)
- Papers-3 (I like this reference manager but it has some shortcomings: it's no longer under development)
- Highlights and notes are not seen in other apps
- Highlights and notes made in other apps are not seen in Papers-3
- Difficult to warehouse or develop a lab repository for current and future students
- Difficult to collaborate with colleagues, especially those who aren't using Mac
- As a LaTeX user, I am constantly exporting the entire library while working on a project
- Skim (for reading, highlighting, annotating, and taking notes on PDFs
- This is problematic when working with PFDs outside of Papers-3
- Tinderbox (for trying to organize and link various notes and concepts developed during the reading and conceptualization process)
- LaTeX
- BibDesk
- Text Shop
- aggregate all the annotations I make to a PDF
- have the application scriptable
- automate some tasks
- search, sort, and sift through my annotations
- organize annotations in various ways (e.g., topic, author, findings, information in the body of a note, etc.)
- making the information somehow visible to other applications
- have the ability to go from a note directly to a PDF
- the ability to link a note to multiple PDFs
