ReadCube is a new reference manager which allows users to access “enhanced PDFs.” In many ways, by providing these “enhanced PDFs,” ReadCube acts more like an academic personal assistant than a reference manager. In ReadCube, while reading a paper, you can easily find an article that the paper references with the click of one button. Targeting.NETStandard 1.4 That is not '.net classic', you picked a new project template that is available since VS2017.NETStandard is pretty similar to PCL of old, it helps you create a portable class library that is usable on multiple platforms. An improvement over PCL, you no longer have to select which specific platforms you want to support. Being 'standard', all framework assemblies you could pick are already included, that's why the list is empty. PCL worked the same way. Beware that there are a lot of Class Library project templates around and choosing the wrong one is easy to do. You'll have to pick the one named 'Class Library (.NET Framework)', that's the one that targets the classic desktop version and gives you a non-empty list to choose from.

Chances are, it’s where you do a lot of your writing as well. It’s easy, convenient, familiar, and gets the job done for simple text documents. There are a lot of great features to MS Word if you want to (or have to) stick with it for your writing. If so, check out our by Hanna on quick tricks for formatting in Word. Some tasks call for a bit more than a basic word processor, though. If you’ve ever spent too many frustrating hours trying to format a Word document with multiple tables and figures (why does my figure keep moving halfway off the page?!), then you will likely agree that it’s not always the best to work with. As I embark on the dissertation-writing journey, I have been looking for an alternative to MS Word that is up for the job—something that can handle a large multi-chaptered document with robust formatting options. The ideal software would be cheap (preferably free), fairly quick and painless to learn, and compatible with a reference/citation manager. One barrier to changing software is that my mentor likes using MS Word to edit my documents with the track changes feature. So a bonus would be that files could easily be converted to.docx to ease sending them to my PI for reviews. Here are a few non-Word options I have come across in my search for the best dissertation-writing software that seem to be favorites: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux/Unix Cost: free LaTeX is an open-source document preparation system that was designed for scholarly and technical writing, and is great for handling large documents. It is a powerful and highly customizable typesetting system that, in contrast to MS Word, separates the content and document design. LaTeX is a markup language—it’s not exactly a programming language, but it does have similarities to coding. Because of this, there is definitely a learning curve when starting out. I was first exposed to LaTeX during college and used it to write my undergraduate thesis. It did take a while to learn, but has a huge amount of document support, and a great online community to answer just about any question you come across. The features I found that really made it worth the effort were its phenomenal job at handling mathematical equations, tables, and figures, and its own powerful reference manager BibTeX.

Because it was designed to be used with LaTeX, they integrate perfectly and handle citations and cross-referencing effortlessly. One downside is that LaTeX does not export to.docx file format, so if you need a Word document for revisions or submission, there is no streamlined conversion from LaTeX. If you’re lucky, some schools provide LaTeX thesis templates already meeting the required specifications, so all you have to worry about is the content. Check out this great, detailed article on for writing your dissertation. Windows, Mac OS X, Linux/Unix Cost: free If you are sold on the powerful and flexible typesetting available with LaTeX, but aren’t crazy about working solely with the markup language, a great compromise is LyX. It uses LaTeX in the background, but lets you write the content in a user interface similar to a word processor like MS Word. It still has all the advanced capabilities of LaTeX for mathematical equations and formatting, and integration with BibTeX. Other users have found that it doesn’t completely remove the need to understand LaTeX, but reduces the learning curve a bit.
