  • Mendeley Mendeley Is a Reference and Citation Manager Available for Free up to 2 GB of Web Storage (More Storage Is Available for $55 Per Year)
    Mendeley Mendeley is a reference and citation manager available for free up to 2 GB of web storage (more storage is available for $55 per year). Mendeley is available as a desktop app, mobile app, as well as online. An MS Word extension allows users to connect to and cite their references while writing. Mendeley allows users to add resources in three ways. First, one may upload a PDF to Mendeley. Mendeley stores the PDF and allows the user to comment on and write notes in the PDF. Users may also enter sources manually, in cases where no PDF is present. For this entry approach, a few templates are available for the most common resource types. Users may also use the web extension to download source information from the web. Once sources have been entered, users can then then organize their sources in a variety of ways. The most prevalent use is through folders, which allow users to categorize sources by topic or project. However, users can also create tags for their files and sources so that they can search for keywords or topics that are important to them. Points in favor: • In-app PDF reader with commentary ability Points against: • Surprising lack of resource templates and information fields (e.g. no template for a conference paper or a book with translator). • MS Word extension has bugs that cause it to crash. Screenshots: Microsoft Word Citation Generator Although we tested Microsoft Word primarily as a writing app, the program includes a citation generator which was tested for facility and accuracy alongside the other reference management apps.1 Like other apps, MS Word has templates for common and uncommon resource types, including book, journal, and sound recording.

    1 Annotated Bibliography, and Summaries I. Annotating Text II. Annotating Media III. Annotation Theory and Practice IV. Group Dynamics and Social Annotation V. Bibliographic Reference/Metadata/Tagging Note to Reader: The categories of this bibliography have been separated into ‘Tools’ and ‘Articles’ for ease of reading. Cross-posted entries have been marked with an asterisk (*) after their first appearance. Category I: Annotating Text This category provides an environmental scan of the current state of text-based annotation practices and the foundational tools in the discipline. Many of the publications focus on situating annotation in the field of digital humanities by drafting definitions for annotation practice; specifying a general annotation framework for commentary across mediums; or brainstorming platforms that would better support user interaction with objects and with each other. Authors remark that the evolution of scholarship brought about by interactive Web 2.0 practices shifted the focus from learner-content interaction to learner-learner interaction, and that this behavioural shift necessitates a redesign of tools (Agosti et al. 2005; Gao 2013). It is widely acknowledged that annotation practices are beneficial for learning, archiving, clarifying, sharing, and expanding; current Web architecture, however, struggles to facilitate these advantages (Agosti et al. 2012; Bottoni 2003; Farzan et al. 2008). Several publications introduce tools that bridge the gap between tool design and user needs, specifically AnnotatEd and CommentPress (Farzan et al. 2008; Fitzpatrick 2007). These tools, along with alternative platforms that gamify annotation, allow for interactive reading and support user engagement with resources in a customizable way. The tools treat documents as mutable objects that can be tagged, highlighted, and underlined.

  • OSINT Handbook September 2020
    OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 Aleksandra Bielska Noa Rebecca Kurz, Yves Baumgartner, Vytenis Benetis 2 Foreword I am delighted to share with you the 2020 edition of the OSINT Tools and Resources Handbook. Once again, the Handbook has been revised and updated to reflect the evolution of this discipline, and the many strategic, operational and technical challenges OSINT practitioners have to grapple with. Given the speed of change on the web, some might question the wisdom of pulling together such a resource. What’s wrong with the Top 10 tools, or the Top 100? There are only so many resources one can bookmark after all. Such arguments are not without merit. My fear, however, is that they are also shortsighted. I offer four reasons why. To begin, a shortlist betrays the widening spectrum of OSINT practice. Whereas OSINT was once the preserve of analysts working in national security, it now embraces a growing class of professionals in fields as diverse as journalism, cybersecurity, investment research, crisis management and human rights. A limited toolkit can never satisfy all of these constituencies. Second, a good OSINT practitioner is someone who is comfortable working with different tools, sources and collection strategies. The temptation toward narrow specialisation in OSINT is one that has to be resisted. Why? Because no research task is ever as tidy as the customer’s requirements are likely to suggest. Third, is the inevitable realisation that good tool awareness is equivalent to good source awareness. Indeed, the right tool can determine whether you harvest the right information.
