Research Notes

Amazing lightweight but super useful tool. I can't live without it now. 2024 EDIT: Three years later and still perfect. This is the most underrated extension in the webstore.

This is the best note taking extension on chrome. I personally tried about 15 notes taking extensions. Please continue develop this great extension

After discovering Research Notes (RN) several months ago, I now use it whenever I open a web browser. It is the best extension for storing notes about individual web pages on a computer (not someone's server!) and comparing them later within topics, further refined by tags. • At first, I used RN just to store notes for future references when visiting a web page of interest to me. • Then, I found it was very helpful to see web pages (actually, their clickable URLs) about offerings on a product or service I am shopping for, with my notes, grouped under one topic. • Eventually, because RN is so well-designed, reliable, and easy to use, it became my primary tool for searching the web for articles and books related to my science project. While still in the RN, I can group, sort, and compare search results to decide which ones to keep for reference or acquire materials they describe. The ability to save quotations and images from a web page helps their use as sources. • RN also allows me to save its data in a spreadsheet for further slicing and dicing. Alternatively, I can export RN data to a file and import it to (or merge with) RN on another computer.
