START HERE for basic process that addresses managing text-mining projects based on paywalled or subscription-only data
If your technical skill set includes Excel but not any scripting, start here, get used to the process, and then graduate to the advanced database/scripting version.
If you have experience in R, python, PHP, or any other scripting language, this advanced version creates a more flexible, easily-searchable database that can be customized to meet just about anyone's analysis needs.
If you're working with a language that has limited or ineffective support for text mining, this describes the process for adding lemma (meaningful root words) to your citation database.
START HERE if you're reading any of the "academic writing process" posts. This post outlines the whole process and notes where changes for research, data management and analysis have happened over the last 6 years since the original posts went online.
This post describes how I use Evernote to collect information from a variety of sources for sorting later
This post talks about the camera and photo editing process I use
Skim for academic annotation and reading
This post talks about my use of citation management software
