Jess's Pro-Study Story

For students with ADHD or other focus-related challenges, juggling research, organisation, and referencing can feel like an insurmountable task. For Jess, a university student with ADHD, these challenges often derailed her productivity and focus. Before discovering Pro-Study, Jess struggled with:

  • Misplacing critical research when switching between tabs and documents.
  • Losing focus during repetitive tasks like copying and pasting content.
  • Feeling overwhelmed by managing references manually alongside research.

   From Overwhelm to Organisation: Jess’s Journey

1. Centralised Organisation

Pro-Study provided Jess with a centralised database to organise all her research - text, charts and images - across categories. Using Pro-Study’s colour-coded structure, Jess could quickly locate her work without sifting through multiple windows, helping her stay focused.

2. Capturing Information Instantly

Instead of manually copying and pasting, Jess used Pro-Study’s right-click capture feature to save text and images directly into her database. This simple process reduced distractions and allowed Jess to stay in the flow of her research.

3. Mastering Key Points with the Reading Assistant

To help manage her ADHD, Jess needed tools to streamline reading and comprehension. Pro-Study’s Reading Assistant condensed long articles, highlighting key points and helping her prioritise information and allow her to focus on what mattered most.

4. Direct Access to Original Sources

Pro-Study’s Back to Source button allowed Jess to revisit the original source with the exact text highlighted, saving her from losing her place or context. This feature helped her fact-check references seamlessly without breaking her focus.

5. Seamless Referencing Made Easy

Referencing used to be one of Jess’s biggest pain points. Pro-Study’s advanced referencing tools transformed this process:

  • Automatic Citation Capture: Each captured Research Tile automatically recorded reference details like title, author and date.
  • Customisable Referencing Styles: Jess could generate references in over 9500 styles, from APA to MLA, ensuring her citations were formatted correctly with minimal effort.
  • Elimination of Duplication: The “Remove Duplications” feature ensured she didn’t accidentally cite the same source twice, reducing errors and saving time.
With a single click, Jess could export all references into a formatted bibliography, freeing her from hours of manual referencing.
