Lifehack.org’s Ultimate Resource List: the Missing Links for Grad Students

Posted by Vincent | Filed under GTD, Productivity, Software

Lifehack.org just published a (pretty impressive) Ultimate Student Resource List. There seemed to be some important stuff missing for the grad students, so here are some of those missing links:

Free Applications

To their list I would add:

• All the LaTeX tools I mentioned in Getting Started with LaTeX.
• A BibTeX reference manager:
  • BibDesk [Mac]
  • JabRef [Java, so all platforms]
• A good PDF reader:
  • Skim [Mac]
  • Foxit [Windows]

Online Tools

I only have one addition here, for those who are learning LaTeX (I should have included it in my previous post):

• MonkeyTeX : Online LaTeX editor (note: for serious work, I recommend always saving a copy to your computer).

Websites

Of course, I would add Productive Scholar . I would also add those search websites that are a must for grad students:

• Google Scholar
• JSTOR
• Science Direct

If you have other ideas, please share in the comments.
