      Hi Tom! I have a question..how do you make possible to have open the article together with marked text together with Evernote? Is it all connected with Evernote or the article is open independently from Evernote? I do not know if I am clear with that.. :) however, thanks in advance!

  • @jamesshepard3

    Great video!
    I use a color-coded system for highlighting.
    Yellow: general information
    Blue: key concepts/ideas
    Green: definitions
    Red: super important stuff (conclusions, unique findings, etc.)
    Purple: info that’s directly useful to the project I’m working on and that I want to quote fully.
    Obviously you can use different colors for different things. But it helps, when going back to an article, to be able to quickly identify what type of information you need.

  • @hanasikova8634
    @hanasikova8634 4 года назад +1

    Mendeley has the options of different colors, so I use that for diferentiating the reason I highlighted it - green "to cite", blue "very relevant", pink "key take-away". Plus, when I copy the sentences to Word, where I write my papers, I color it the same color as it is highlighted, so going back is very easy.

    I used to take notes like you, but since I’m quite chaotic I’ve found that it is a lot easier for me to just write a small paragraph (citations and all) for all the info that I find, and then at the end copy the document with 30+ pages of writing for my 10 page essay and in the second document I cut and rewrite and boil down the whole thing to a clear and condensed essay.

    • @Aima952
      @Aima952 3 года назад +2

      I'm less organised than that... I write out the reference and paraphrase the bits I want to remember and add it to the multilevel bullet point plan of the essay (that I outline as early in the process as possible). My papers rarely have direct quotes from the reading but I never write more than 10% over the target length of an essay before editing.

      @ajiththomas2465 2 года назад

      Aaye, nice to see a fellow Knight here.
      Tom's video about jote taking and putting the citations at the top is pretty useful. Another thing that I've read that has revolutionized the way I read stuff and took notes would be Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Dorean's book _How To Read A Book_ . Despite it's title, it's one of the most insightful and enlightening books that I've ever read, because it taught me how to read deeper, how to approach reading different types of work , and subsequently how to take better notes on the books that I read, whether it's fiction or non-fiction. I definitely recommend it if you haven't already.
      It was through reading that that I also developed my own Note Taking method using notebooks and multi colored gel pens. When I'm studying something and taking notes on it, I like to use 6 different types of color ink so it spices up the look of my notes rather than looking like the same black ink color throughout and it makes going back through the notes much quicker and easier. The sort of Coloring Ink Legend that I use is this:
      Blue- Titles/Sections
      Black- Normal Notes
      Red- Special Terms/Quotes
      Green- Personal Thoughts
      Orange (with multicolor)- Drawings/Illustrations/Mind Maps/Graphs, etc.
      Purple- Summary at the end
      .
      But yeah, what are your note taking techniques?

    I enjoyed your video and how you take notes. Love that you are noting content for citations in your notes. My only suggestion is to note the name of the author cited in the original content into your Evernote citation because if you chose to use that sentence, your citation in APA should include that author (citing a secondary source) and you might forget otherwise.

    • @Tom_Nicholas
      @Tom_Nicholas  6 лет назад +2

      I will admit I haven’t watched this back for a while so hopefully am remembering what’s in the video right but...
      I’d generally avoid citing sources which are citing sources and, instead, dig out the original source that is being cited. That’s why, usually, I jot down just the source they’re referring to and then go away and appraise that on its own merit. It can look a little lazy to have not have done so (although sometimes it’s unavoidable). But, yes, if noting down a citation within a source, important to have the ‘cited in’ in your notes.

    My method is little bit different. I use mendeley for keeping all papers and treepads software for note taking. I usually collect the keyword in one parent tree, then check the references for all author who discuss about that keyword. Each author has one child tree. In that child tree only exist one paper with the author and what he says about the keyword. So then, if there are 5-6 author then i can emulate those all words and make my own words.

    • @Tom_Nicholas
      @Tom_Nicholas  5 лет назад +1

      Whatever works for you really! I don't find the Kindle app all that intuitive but it's really useful to have a way of reading and taking notes on ebooks and I think I'm right in saying that the Kindle app has a useful feature where you can easily export all the notes you've taken or highlights you've made.

    I have a question about 04:29. The sentences is referenced to Mosterin, 2005. But, why did you refer to Sevincer, rather Mosterin?
    Thank you.
