| | * One of the major choices you'll have to mark is whether to use [[https://www.latex-project.org/ | LaTeX]] or a more traditional Word Processor to write your thesis. If you'll be using a lot of mathematics, then LaTeX would be the typical approach, but even modern Word Processors are getting better at handling mathematical content. There is a bit of a learning curve if you haven't used LaTeX before, but it does allow you to concentrate more on the content, rather than the presentation, than most traditional Word Processors. |
| | * LaTeX bibliography management is typically done using [[http://www.bibtex.org/ | BibTeX]]. There are numerous BibTeX editors around (or you can use a standard text editor). [[https://bibdesk.sourceforge.io/ | BibDesk]] is great on a Mac, or there are cross-platform tools like [[https://www.jabref.org/ | JabRef]] or online tools like [[https://www.mendeley.com | Mendeley]]. |
| | * With traditional Word Processors, you can use tools like [[https://www.mendeley.com | Mendeley]] or [[https://endnote.com/ | EndNote]] (you can typically get this through your University without having to buy it yourself) are highly recommended for bibliography management. |
| | * Especially if English is not your native language, you might find [[https://www.grammarly.com/ | Grammarly]] useful - especially if you're using a Word Processor. |
| | * If you're working with PDFs, you might like the tools available through [[https://tools.pdf24.org/en/ | PDF24]]. |
