Engineering Student from India

What are you studying and which areas are you focusing on in your studies?

I have been studying for about 4.5 years. My coursework covers various branches of chemistry, including organic, inorganic, physical, materials, and analytical chemistry. At present, my research focuses on environmental and analytical chemistry as part of my thesis project.

How do you use Web Highlights in your daily study routine?

Before using Web Highlights, I struggled to keep my study materials organized. I used different methods—writing in notebooks, copying content into Word documents, and even using PowerPoint—but none of them provided a structured way to manage and recall information. Since my studies and research require extensive reading and reference management, I often found it challenging to keep track of everything efficiently.

In what ways has Web Highlights helped you manage your workload or improve your productivity?

Web Highlights has significantly improved my workflow. Now, I can highlight any content from research papers, blogs, books, or websites and categorize them using tags. This allows me to revisit important information easily whenever needed. Unlike reference managers like Zotero or Mendeley, which have storage limitations, I can use Web Highlights to organize and highlight content first and then import only the necessary references into Zotero when writing reports or papers. This system has streamlined my literature review process and helped me keep related information in one place.

Can you share any specific examples of how Web Highlights made your studies easier or more efficient?

Additionally, when working on multiple projects, Web Highlights enables me to store and access relevant data effortlessly, ensuring that everything is well-structured. This has greatly boosted my productivity. Since my information is neatly organized, I can prepare literature reviews, methodologies, and other documents more efficiently without wasting time searching for stored content.

Would you recommend Web Highlights to other engineering students? If so, why?

I would highly recommend Web Highlights to anyone who struggles with organization and wants to keep their study materials accessible in one place. It has made my research process much more efficient and stress-free.
