The DIRT on research
Posted by Celia Walter | 11 Jan, 2010
This wiki collects information about tools and resources that can help
scholars (particularly in the humanities and social sciences) conduct
research more efficiently or creatively. Whether you need software to
help you manage citations, author a multimedia work, or analyze texts,
Digital Research Tools will help you find what you're looking for. We
provide a directory of tools organized by research activity, as well as
reviews of select tools in which we not only describe the tool's
features, but also explore how it might be employed most effectively by
researchers.
