Popular examples include: - The Archive (2017), Notion (2018), Roam Research (2019), Remnote (2019), and Obsidian (2020) - In addition, notetaking programs incorporate additional text processing functionality like: - Rich Text Formatting, Advanced Searching, Tagging, Backlinking, Transclusion, Databasing, Data Visualization (E.g. Graphs and Mind-Maps), and a plethora of user-developed "Plugins" that add a wide variety of functions such as Text-To-Speech, Calendar integration, and the like. - Notetaking software simplifies and centralize data management including the storage and retrieval of quotes, references, bibliographies, comments, notes, and the like. When combined with bibliographic software like Zotero, these programs can automate a lot of academic busywork, freeing up time for contentful writing. ## References - Davis 2014, *Reinventing Writing - The 9 Tools That Are Changing Writing, Teaching, and Learning Forever*. - Frand & Hixson 1998, "Personal Knowledge Management - Who What Why When Where How" - Stobl et al 2019, "Digital Support for Academic Writing - A Review of Technologies and Pedagogies" - Taskade 2022, Reinvent Yourself with Personal Knowledge Management (PKM).
