Store Comment Paper For Free

For optimal efficiency, it's crucial to store papers in a hanging-file system. Put each category of papers in a separate folder and store them in a filing cabinet or upright in a filing box placed on a shelf. Storing them this way makes it easy for you to see how many papers you have.

Here are the six most common methods I recommend for storing paper documents long-term: A Digital Filing Cabinet. ... A Physical Filing Cabinet. ... A Safety Deposit Box. ... Fireproof Lockboxes or Safes. ... Off-Site Storage Facilities. ... Cloud-Based Storage Systems.

How to organize your paperwork Separate documents by type. ... Use chronological and alphabetical order. ... Organize your filing space. ... Color-code your filing system. ... Label your filing system. ... Dispose of unnecessary documents. ... Digitize files.

In particular: There should be enough space to access files without difficulty. Box and lever arch files should be stored standing on shelves, not stacked on floors. Shelves should not be mounted on walls directly above workstations. Boxes and files should never overhang shelves.

Caring for Your Paper Documents Store papers in a cool, dry, dark environment. Heat and humidity can cause paper to become brittle or moldy, and light can cause fading or yellowing. Store papers in archival containers. Boxes, paper sleeves, folders, or mats should always be preservation quality.

Try as far as possible to put notes on separate cards or sheets. This will let you label the topic of each note. Not only will that keep your notetaking focussed, but it will also allow for grouping and synthesizing of ideas later.

It's best to organize your research papers chronologically. If you want to do all this at once, I suggest using a reference manager like Zotero or Mendeley (more on reference managers later).
