If you’re doing a PhD, you’ve probably been told to “stay on top of the literature.” Sounds simple. But between experiments, writing, meetings, and teaching, reading papers often gets pushed to the bottom of the list. The reality is, no one has time to read everything. The good news is, you don’t have to. With the right tools and a few simple habits, you can stay updated in your field without spending hours every day.

Supervising several students at once can be rewarding, but also demanding. Each student has their own pace, goals, and deadlines, and it can be difficult to keep track of what needs your input. You may find yourself scanning old emails or trying to remember what someone asked you to review last week. ResearchDock offers a way to simplify this part of supervision.

Academic research projects are rarely solo ventures anymore. Thankfully, there’s been a rise in tools designed specifically to support academic workflows. In this post, we’ll highlight some of the best tools available today for managing academic projects, from planning and communication to writing and version control.

SciRate is a community platform where researchers can vote on arXiv preprints. It’s a bit like Reddit, but for academic papers, making it easier to discover interesting or important new work that others in your field are reading. In this post, we’ll explain what SciRate is, how it works, how to use it, and also some limitations to keep in mind.

Keeping up with relevant literature can be time-consuming and overwhelming in academia. That's why we built ResearchDock's Smart Suggestions feature: an intelligent system that suggests papers based on the keywords inferred from your project.
