Scrivener

  • This tool is excellent for writing a thesis or dissertation.
    • "Scrivener unites everything you need to write, research and arrange long documents in a single, powerful app. At its heart is a simple ring-binder metaphor that allows you to gather your material and flick between different parts of your manuscript, notes and references with ease. Break your text into manageable sections of any size and leave Scrivener to stitch them together. Integrated outlining tools let you plan everything first or restructure later. And as your project grows, you’ll find that Scrivener grows with it."  Note: Theres is a cost for this tool. SHU does not subscribe to Scrivener.
