Academic workflow for the 21st century

Going back to just about 20 years ago, a researcher’s job was so much more complicated than it is nowadays. Of course, if we just think about the pure research being carried out, not much has changed, the limits of knowledge are still being pushed, little by little every day. However, the tools accessible nowadays might make any researcher of past days feel just the tiniest bit of envy; and I will start with perhaps the most important development: The ability to access any publication in no time through this thing called the internet.
