Research-Heavy Writing

I don't see much advice, here, on research-heavy writing. Any advice?

* If you have to check sources, and input data from these sources, "distraction free" writing tools are probably not an option.

* And similarly, speech-to-text software are probably not an option. I've tried Apple's Dictation and Nuance's Dragon for Mac. I think Dragon for Windows is supposed to be more reliable.

* I'm torn between working on one topic at a time, or working on all the material from one source at a time.

* I'm torn between using one long file for a work, and several short files. I have trouble going back-and-forth in the longer file, but I don't like splicing short files together.

* And of course, how to avoid worsening repetitive strain injuries. In my case, speech-to-text hasn't worked, and due to coordination issues, most typing advice and desktop setup advice won't work.
