Holistic Learning Toolbox - lots of planning and time management tools
Start using Zotero to collect, organize, and even read your research materials. Later, when you are writing, you can use Zotero to insert citations and format your bibliography. Here is a quick Start Guide. Also, be sure to download the connector for your favorite browser so you can easily save citations directly from your searches and even archive web pages.
Be sure to bookmark Google Scholar and set Google scholar alerts for authors and subjects relevant to your research, and create filters and folders to organize those alerts.
If you are considering graduate school, a writing career in film or media, or will be engaging in significant research, you should really consider investing in the robust writing app Scrivener.
