When I started my MBA I was recommended The Craft of Research as a good book to help me write better. I relied on it a lot. Later I started using The So What Strategy which I refer to regularly as a consultant.

I also spent some time setting up my writing workflow. For me that was Markdown supported by Zotero (now Jurism) for references and Pandoc to generate a PDF for submission. But that workflow reflects my nerdy UNIX origin story and isn't suitable for everyone. My wife uses Google Docs with Zotero quite happily.

The books look interesting.

I am sorry, I didn't make my question clear. I was not asking about 'frameworks' as in tools but templates/structures that you use while writing/thinking.

I think we mean the same thing. Those books help me to understand the structures and templates both in the how to think and how to lay out my work.
