Eric and Marty review tips for using reference managers for scholarship and some of the experiences they have had using them. Getting Started Pick One & Stick With It Both tools are excellent—Zotero is known for openness and simplicity, Mendeley integrates tightly with PDFs and is Elsevier-backed. Try both, but avoid switching mid-project. Install the Browser Connector The Zotero and Mendeley browser plugins let you grab citation info from journal websites, Google Scholar, or library databases with one click. Organize Like a Pro Use Folders & Tags Structure your library by project, course, or publication. Tags help track themes like "qualitative," "AI," or "must-read." Group Your PDFs Drag and drop PDFs onto entries; most tools auto-extract citation data. If not, use “Retrieve Metadata” to save time. Citation Shortcuts Cite While You Write Install Word or Google Docs plugins to insert properly formatted citations as you write—choose APA, MLA, Chicago, etc., on the fly. One-Click Bibliography Need a full reference list? Select your items, right-click, and export a perfectly formatted bibliography instantly. Collaborate with Ease Shared Libraries for Teams Create shared groups for research collaborators, teaching teams, or student assistants. Everyone stays synced, no duplicate files. Advanced Power-User Tips Annotation & Highlighting (Mendeley specific) Annotate PDFs directly within Mendeley, great for paper reviews or class prep. Search Full-Text PDFs (Zotero with plugin) Zotero indexes PDFs so you can search the contents of your sources, not just titles/authors. Backup & Sync Always Sync to the Cloud Use Zotero or Mendeley’s sync features to back up your library across devices. You can also export a local backup just in case.

Eric and Marty talk about the reasons and ways to use VPNs to protect your access to internet. Topic for this episode : VPNs Security and Privacy Look for a strict no-logs policy and strong AES-256 encryption. Choose VPNs that support secure protocols like WireGuard or OpenVPN. Essential features: kill switch and DNS leak protection. Server Network A large number of servers across many countries ensures better access and speed. Make sure they have servers in regions relevant to your needs (e.g., US for Netflix). Speed and Performance Look for VPNs known for fast, stable connections, especially if streaming or gaming. WireGuard protocol often offers the best speed-to-security balance. Streaming and Torrenting Confirm support for major streaming services and P2P file sharing. Some VPNs offer optimized servers for these tasks. Device Compatibility Should support all major platforms: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux. Check how many devices can connect simultaneously. Ease of Use and Support Simple setup and clean user interface are key. 24/7 customer support and clear guides are helpful for troubleshooting. Pricing and Value Look for reasonable long-term plans with a money-back guarantee. Be cautious of free VPNs unless they're reputable (e.g., ProtonVPN). Trust and Transparency Prioritize services with strong reputations and independent security audits. Transparency reports and third-party reviews add credibility.
