Research & scholarly sources

Hexenkunde relies on many different tools needed to conduct independent research. Below are some of the tools needed and which are highly recommended.

JSTOR.ORG

JSTOR offers access to a variety of academic journals, unlimited reading of research-papers and primary sources. It is a highly recommended platform for research and study.

RESEARCHGATE.NET

Researchgate offers free academic papers, articles and the possibility to network, exchange questions and research with other scholars, professionals in different disciplines and independent researchers. 

ACADEMIA.EDU

Like Researchgate, academia.edu offers a variety of free peer-reviewed papers, articles and can be used to get feedback from other scholars and researchers, to network and to ask questions to professionals working in different disciplines. 

SEMANTICSCHOLAR.ORG

Semantic Scholar is an artificial-intelligence online database for academic publications and literature. It offers a variety of papers on subjects such as shamanism, mythology, etc. I highly recommend Semantic Scholar for a quick look for papers and articles needed for research.

office & Organization

ASANA.COM

My wife complains that I get too disorganized. Asana helps by keeping track of each task, step-by-step, each day. 

GOOGLE DOCS

GOOGLE DOCS is very useful when typing up documents and having to get access anywhere. The good news is that I don't have to worry about losing my files and articles. 

ENDNOTE

ENDNOTE is a reference manager that helps creating bibliographies and references while writing research papers and articles. Keeping track of each paper can be a daunting task. ENDNOTE can certainly help.
