Just wondering what programs/apps people use for organizing their papers and research. Currently I use the Papers App and I love it. It allows you to highlight your PDFs, make notes, assign keywords etc. In addition, you it allows you to cite/create a bibliography into whatever word processor you use. Only downside is that is costs money. Evernote and Dropbox are good for backing up files.

Any other great apps/programs that people have come across and would like to share?

Microsoft Project Manager is all right. There's also a really great (both in terms of cost and utility) program called Study Manager.

Hi, I personally swear by Mendeley. It's free and it sounds like it's similar to your Papers App. I love that I can easily search all the PDF papers in my collection to find papers with keywords etc. It also lets you do the bibliography stuff :)

In terms of organising what I need to do I use Remember the Milk.com It lets you create lists, and assign them due dates. Works for me anyway :)
