Software Tools

Word Processors

  • MS Word is the industry standard, but still can be problematic for RTL on a Mac
  • Mellel is a popular choice for Mac, providing good RTL tools, but also some file-compatibility issues for a Word-orientated publishing world
  • LibreOffice Writer is a fine writing tool (especially when used with Linux Libertine fonts in the Graphite version), and can produce very good .DOC files for Word-only needs; see also Apache OpenOffice a related product.
  • There are other specialty options, e.g. Nota Bene, which are worth exploring.

Reference managers

  • Endnote is centrally supported by the university, and training is offered for both desktop and online versions.
  • Zotero and Mendeley are both popular online options and worth exploring; free versions have some limitations.
  • A slightly dated (2013) of "free" alternatives can be found in "Best Free Bibliographic Database Software"; its links are still worth exploring.
  • Those using a Mac might want to look at Bookends.
