About the event
This workshop welcomes qualitative researchers in the social sciences and humanities who want to enhance their personal knowledge and reference management systems. Researchers striving for more ease in managing complex streams of information and shifting research interests are invited to join. They receive guidance on reorganizing daily work flows and setting up a knowledge data base.
After identifying common challenges, such as, linking research notes and bibliographic entries in an easily retrievable way, we explore the potentials of ‘Zettelkasten’ and ‘Second Brain’ approaches as solutions. One central question of our discussions is how previous data can be efficiently migrated into new systems.
Between sessions, participants are encouraged to try out networked and automated tools. Equipped with first practical experience, each participant then is ready to map out an own future-proof strategy for better knowledge and reference management.
