PowerResearcher is the first
of a new class of tools called Research Process
Automation that can help
prevent plagiarism. It can also be used by both teachers
and students to manage assignments in a process called the
360 Assignment Model.
For Middle/High School Students
Save
Time. Increase Quality. Protect against accidental
plagiarism.
For middle and high school students thinking about
going on to higher education, the ability to research
and write are critical to academic success. Students
often use the web every day and many use it as their
primary source of information. After finding Web information,
using it effectively in assignments is often difficult
and time consuming. PowerResearcher makes it easy
to use web content and saves the student time--time
that can be spent on higher-level activities like
critical thinking and writing. PowerResearcher also
reinforces good research techniques and bibliographic
standards.
PowerResearcher is great for college-bound students
since most institutions grade the research process
the student follows as well as the finished assignment.
Advanced Research Process functionality automates
the creation of a research plan, research log, and
writing log—used in almost all structured research
methodologies.
For Faculty and Staff
Save
Time. Increase Quality.
Prevent Plagiarism.
For educators, there never seems to be enough time
in the day. The increasing demands of assessment standards,
core curriculum, and class sizes make every minute
count. PowerResearcher automates many of the manual
tasks involved with using information from the Web.
Whether it is using general audience sites, online
databases, or web-based journal services, PowerResearcher
makes it easy to use web content and all your other
digital files.
If students also use PowerResearcher, time spent
grading and checking sources will be greatly reduced
since the tool automatically tracks where students
obtained online information as well as the date
and time it was captured. Educators also tell us
that the possibility of plagiarism is minimized.

Browse. Search
the Web for information using your favorite search engines and/or
online information provider(s).
Capture. Adding a web page to your Favorites
only records its URL. Web pages, especially dynamic pages, expire
on a regular basis. By capturing a page, you store it on your
local computer in a compressed PowerResearcher file. Use your
captured pages anytime, anywhere—even when offline.
Organize. Organize your captured web pages,
word processing documents, presentations, spreadsheets, etc.
in a completely flexible hierarchy tree. Associate research
information with reports, presentations, and the like. Plan
your work with the Planner. Assign tasks, deadlines, and track
your progress.
Log. Track when and where you captured your
Internet research content. See this information in a calendar-style
log for self-improvement or to turn in to others for review.
Highlight. Use the digital highlighter, highlight
box, or call-out annotation features to remind yourself of critical
information or quickly point out items to colleagues.
Analyze. Compare and contrast information from
different sources in one view. Quickly organize and rearrange
information to support your thought processes. Track your work
with the automated Research Log. Judge the quality of web information
sources with the Evaluation feature.
Write. Word processing is integrated with all
your other work. If you have Microsoft Word installed on your
computer, Word can be integrated. If not, PowerResearcher comes
with its own word processor that is compatible with WordPerfect
and other applications.
Cite. Citing references and creating bibliographies
are very time-consuming. PowerResearcher has a Citation Wizard
that quickly steps you through the process and ensures you use
the right format every time. APA, CBE, Columbia, and MLA styles
are included. With the Citation Style Wizard you can create
any style such as Turabian or legal styles such as Blue Book.
Share. Since all the content in a PowerResearcher
project is packed into a single, compressed file it is easy
to share with others. With just a click, you can e-mail a project
or a sub-section. PowerResearcher files can also be stored on
a file server and in most document management systems.
