- if I was engaged in formal research with an eye to the publish or perish phenomena I would use something like the tools Joanna has mentioned, I've had a look at those and a couple of others - but for me they were too rigid. But my so-called research doesn't claim to follow standard practices, and it targets a very specific (and private) audience.
I use Evernote to supplement Calibre (and vice versa) - see
Calibre and Evernote.
More recently I've been adding OneNote .ONE files to books as a place to keep book specific notes.
