Do you research? How do you take notes? Sinciput is designed to assist in scholarly research. It provides a framework for tracking sources, categorizing and structuring research, and taking source-specifice notes. But it still has the flexibility to let you take notes the way you want.
Technical DetailsSinciput has been re-implemented in PHP. This version has many more features than the original Python-based version. This web-based version currently runs on Apache with PHP support. It requires PHP 4.3.x with DOM XML and DBA support (which is fairly standard fare). It runs fine on a 700 MHz Pentium III laptop.
Features:- Track the sources you are using in your research.
- Create notes attached to the appropriate source.
- Organize your notes and sources in topic -- convienient when you are writing papers or doing reasearch.
- Import information online from the U.S. Library of Congress. Just type in the book's ISBN or LCCN number!
- Built-in dictionary support uses standard DICT protocol to retrieve definitions from around the web... including non-English dictionaries (if you wish).
- Browse your sources by author, Library of Congress subject headings, or user-specified categories.
- Take notes with rich formatting (using the HTMLArea WYSIWYG editor).
- Backup your notes with ease... or export them into XML files for use in other applications.
