Paper Builder

This is a great idea. I have a Ph. D. in Biblical Studies and would really like to get back to writing professional academic papers and get back into teaching. I have been away from Academia for 15 years focusing on ministry instead but would love to teach again.0
-
I would love to see this because Professors and Seminarians use this software. I 'am both a professor and seminarian, and I would love to see this developed.0
-
This will be a great tool in our toolbox0
-
Creating a sermon and a paper at the same time would n be a time saver for a seminary student!!0
-
Love it!!!!!0
-
This is a good idea.0
-
Yes! Yes! Yes! It will be great to be able to have the same functionality (of footnotes and bibliography) in Sermon notes as well — I often put in bibliographical info in my sermons for my own reference later on.0
-
Love this idea. I tried using the sermon builder for this but it doesn't work.0
-
@Karel van der Westhuizen Ditto!0
-
This is a fantastic idea!0
-
Superb idea whose time has long since been due...0
-
So, with "over 3 years ago" timeline, what is the Logos progress to date? Or is it even under consideration, given I've not seen any announcements of intent or any progress reports... Is this something Logos is considering, planning or deep-6-ing?0
-
That would be great!0
-
This would be great! I'll be done with school (for now) in a year, so I might get to use it, but I think many will.0
-
Bibliography support for citations that aren't in logos would be great. I'd love to house everything in one place for papers.0
-
I use the SBL citation format, and there are many problems with the Logos-generated bibliography and footnote entries--e.g., editor of the series cited as editor of the individual resource; page numbers shown as, e.g., 125-130 instead of 125-30; volume numbers not included. An overhaul of the bibliography styles function is an essential part of this project, and could be a stand-alone piece.

@Donovan R. Palmer I don't think we need all the import functions. Just the ability to include non-Logos titles in the footnotes and bibliography. BTW, for anyone looking for PDF cataloging, I use Paperpile for that. Works great.0
-
Yes! I'd like that with Sermon Builder so that when I have THAT person asking me sources I can go to the bottom of my sermon and tell them.0
-
Yes, this would be a great help to those of us who are writing papers. I see that this request is 3 years old. If it is dead in the water, please just tell us.0
-
I would expand this to book writers as well. something that can help writers organize their thoughts. Basically converting items in a mind map or outline and flushing them out till it becomes a book or paper while keeping track of themes, verses, or anything else of importance to the writer.
Similar to sermons this could be utilized by christian bloggers as well to keep track of topics covered, or topics they still need to cover, much like this 4 year old post.0 -
Now retired; wished I'd had this in college and seminary.0
-
I need this right now.0
-
As someone getting deeper into the academic field, I would love this as an option.0
-
This would be perfect for any of the seminary students, like myself.0

@Fr Devin Roza I agree that it would not be a good use of time for Logos to invest into building and maintaining full-featured word processing. I am very happy with Word, Scrivener, and Zotero. I would love to see Logos build deep integrations for each of those apps because I think Logos could augment their capabilities in some exciting ways (like a RefTagger plugin for PDFs in Zotero, etc.). It's obvious that many users are switching back and forth between those apps and Logos, and I think Logos could make that easier without having to replace those apps.0

I agree strongly in principle. However, I disagree strongly that it should be a separate tool from other existing tools (Sermon Builder/Editor, all Document types, Notes, etc.). It's all too disjoined. It needs to be a do-it-all word processing suite.
Roll Notes, Notebooks, all Document types, and Sermon Editor/Builder into one all-inclusive word processor. Similar to Evernote, OneNote, or another note taking app. None of the current functions or systems would be lost, but it would all be rolled into one place with full word processing capabilities. You can do your Sermons, Clippings, Notes, Passage Lists, Canvas, Diagrams, and all Document types from this one word processing suite. You could even build and write apers and essays now. Full linking, anchoring, and all other ecosystem features that already exist. Maybe name it Documents or Docs. All you'd have to do is open a new Doc and at the top, select Doc type (Sermon, Note, Diagram, etc.), assign a Notebook (if applicable), assign any Tags and you're good to go. If you've ever used Evernote or OneNote, then you know what I'm talking about. Maybe Logos can contract with one of those companies to build it into Logos?
Don't call it Paper Builder, call it something all inclusive like Documents or Docs.0 -
This could be cool!0
-
This would be great. Just started my MDiv and this would be a huge help.0
-
Although it might be more convenient to be able to compose research papers and the like within Logos, I believe that the time and resources needed to create such a application would essentially be rewriting MS Word to work within Logos. There are many other things that need development in my opinion.0
-
In Mdiv now and this would be fantastic.0
