Writing scientific papers means using citations, and lots of them. Like them, once I gave Scrivener a try, there was no turning back.Īlthough I fell in love with Scrivener’s writer-friendly layout, organization features, and distraction free writing, the thing that kept tripping me up was citations. Although it wasn’t first on my list to try, I kept hearing rave reviews of a program called Scrivener from accomplished writers like Michael Hyatt and Jeff Goins. My frustration with Word drove me to experiment with many other word processors like Pages, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, and Google Docs. I still remember vividly one night when I was working on a paper that Word crashed more than 30 times. It happens all the time, but especially when exchanging documents that have “track changes” enabled with colleagues on PCs. Word has many flaws, but the most irritating is its amazing ability to hang or crash. But there has always been this one nagging problem: Microsoft Word. Switching to a Mac was one of the best productivity hacks of my life. As an academic, I spend a lot of time writing.
