Despite not having used any and manually inserting all his citations and bibliography, he suggested Mendeley. Paul is on Twitter at starting my PhD in March 2011 I asked a recent doctoral graduate about his ideal referencing software. In addition to researching the cultural history of New Age religion in Taiwan, he is also a contributing editor at The China Story. Paul is a later-year PhD candidate in the Australian Centre on China in the World.
Paul showed great interest in it, so I gave it to him on the understanding that he would write a review for the Whisperer. It might still have been there if ANU PhD student and Thesis Bootcamp veteran Paul Farrelly had not visited a couple of weeks later. Even though I think the software is great, I am not a Mendeley user anymore so it sat on my desk for ages. Mendeley is a cloud based reference storage service – like an itunes version of Endnote that works on all kinds of devices and platforms. I was impressed by the throughness and nerdy detail of this original book and was happy when Jacques sent me a follow up book on Mendeley (he has created a 20% discount coupon for Whisperer readers for a limited time).
Part of our mission here at the Whisperer is to do some of the reading for you – at least as much as we can! Some time ago I did a review of “Doing your dissertation with Microsoft Word”, a self published book by South African academic Jacques Raubenheimer.
