The paper is a result of a complementary advanced publication workshop accompanying the curriculum course exercises for PhD students, on the role of ICT in the research work of a scientist. This article discusses the impact of digital technologies on research practices in the social sciences, focusing on tools supporting qualitative data analysis, interview transcription, and knowledge management. It presents a detailed analysis of CAQDAS programs such as NVivo, MAXQDA, and ATLAS.ti, and transcription tools such as Trankriptor and Word. It also discusses the use of the digital Zettelkasten system in knowledge management and academic writing. The article highlights the benefits and challenges of integrating these technologies, offering practical advice for doctoral students.
