Research is messy and group work takes a lot of coordination. You will need to use something like googledocs for most of your writing, but for storing and exporting citations, NoodleTools is a complementary collaborative tool.
Step 1: Register for a free account
Step 2: Create a new Project. Choose APA style
Step 3: Add all group members to the project.
Step 4: Everyone in the group starts adding sources with connected note cards. You can also create to-do lists to keep the group organized.
Step 5: Export your formatted Works Cited list to GoogleDocs or Word.
A few other helpful features of NoodleTools:
- helps with formatting in-text citations
- create a thesis statement and collaboratively edit it
- create annotations together and export into an annotated bibliography
- create an outline together by dragging notecards (with quotations/paraphrasings) into it to structure your paper
