(Video not displaying? Watch it on Vimeo). In Scrivener, each piece of writing is a “project.” You can keep everything–including academic articles– inside of the project itself. Scrivener’s overview video really sums this up nicely. The main difference between Scrivener and Word is that Scrivener has built-in attention to both structure and content, while Word (or other word processing software) just allows you to type documents. Word (or other Word Processing Software)ĭo you find that your academic writing projects extend across multiple documents? Do you regularly have multiple Word documents and PDFs open when you write your drafts? This makes it the best word processor for academic writing. You can think of your “project” as a folder that has all your writing in one place, and that you can organize and hierarchize.
It is unique in that the entire “project” is a file, and within the project, you can write drafts and store documents. Scrivener is word processing software published by Literature & Latte.
