soapcase Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hi, I am a grad student and RA working with a team of co-authors that are spread across different time zones. Since we are working on a large project (no, it's not a RCT!) we are considering whether to invest in a team/task management website/app like asana, basecamp, slack etc. Gentzkow and Shapiro (http://web.stanford.edu/~gentzkow/research/CodeAndData.pdf) suggest a few websites but they don't offer a comprehensive review. I was wondering if anyone here had any recommendations? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Food4Thought Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 One person I work for prefers using Jira. I find it very useful, but that is likely unique to my own experience. I work for three different economists doing different projects. So, if there is a period of time where I don't work on one project for a while, Jira keeps a record of all the tasks, and it stores all email correspondence related to the tasks. So, I'd recommend that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repave Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 We just keep a doc in the dropbox folder, but it's not like organization has been our strong front recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeefan Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I've been trying to get my coauthor to get on board with using Git, but to no avail. The learning curve is brutal, especially for someone who isn't tech savvy to begin with, but its so worth the struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
