Its been a while since i posted here 
I was hoping to get some suggestions about how to organize research articles for my thesis. The proff suggested that every article we read, we should type a half or a full page about its citation, and the main points of the article and file that. Any way to do this electronically (safely so it doesnt get deleted or something) or is paper route the best to go?
Any tips and ideas you guys share will be highly appreciated.
Re: research material organization
Ira,
Your best bet would be to use a bibliography management utility/app. There are tons out there - some available for free.
The two most popular ones though are RefWorks... usually University libraries make this available through their portal to their students. Check to see if your University has this. You can easily create an online account and start managing your references very effectively.
The one that I use is called Endnote. It is a life saver when you have to manage thousands of references.
Using these, you can input the citation information and also attach an abstract / summary. Subsequently, you can output your list of citations in various popular referencing formats / define your own... and even print out annotated bibliographies with references and summaries etc.
