    How does one create a Tweetorial?

    This is thread THREE of a THREE PART series.

    III. Tools I use when creating a Tweetorial

    2/
    As I research/write Tweetorials, I often identify dozens of articles I want to review.
    Quickly downloading PDFs and collecting them for review is essential.

    To aid in this task, I use:


    🔹EZ-proxy
    🔹Readcube
    🔹Nimbus screenshot (although this is changing!)
    3/
    EZ-proxy is a Chrome extension.

    It allows you to quickly log into your institutional library access. This tool is SO
    valuable as it circumvents the need to log-in through the library itself.
    EZProxy Redirect
    Quickly reload pages through your library's EZProxy.

    Readcube is the most important tool I use. It is primarily a reference manager.

    It has a Web App, desktop apps (for both Mac and PC), iOS and Android apps. These
    sync so my library is always accessible to me.

    Home - Papers
    ReadCube Papers is your award winning reference manager that will improve the
    way you find, access, organize, read, cite and share scholarly research.

    https://www.papersapp.com/

    5/
    Readcube also has a Chrome extension. This allows you to quickly and easily
    download articles you identify.

    You can do this from:


    🔹Publishers site
    🔹Pubmed
    🔹Google Scholar
    Again, this is enormously helpful and a timesaver.

    When adding articles to my Readcube library, the PDF if often downloaded too.

    This is because Readcube also integrates with my institutional library, using the
    proxy access to obtain PDFs.

    0:00

    7/
    When the PDF download isn’t automatic, Readcube makes it easy to identify,
    download, and connect the PDF with the metadata I have already downloaded.

    You can see this process in the video in tweet 6.

    8/
    Another tool I use is Nimbus screenshot. This is also a Chrome extension that allows
    for quick cropping of figures/tables from source material.
    These crops can then be used to supplement tweets.

    A demo of this can be found in Part II of this series.

    How does one create a Tweetorial?

    This is thread TWO of a THREE PART series.

    II. How to draft and post a Tweetorial.

    124 5:02 PM - Feb 2, 2020

    48 people are talking about this

    9/
    But, as @nathanvarady pointed out, you can also use "Cmd+shift+4" for Macs.

    For Windows, "WindowsKey+Shift+S" can be used.

    I have already switched over to this!

    10/10
    Those are the key tools I use when researching and creating Tweetorials.

    Again, I am very interested to hear what others have found useful.

    That concludes the Three Part series "How does one create a Tweetorial?"

    This, and the other two parts, can be found in this Moment.
    Tweetorials about Tweetorials
    Enjoy
