It's called language. It is a very neat thing that us humans have. If you want to put it into action, use an even cooler thing called a pen and paper. Oscar Wilde used them, Shakespeare used them, Dr. Munn and Sigmund Freud used them, a lot of smart people used them! Please, be a smart person and use them!
Care to ask a better question?

you'll need to categorise and classify and file your research, there's no other way, you can do it with pen and paper, or you can define a schema and store pertinent points in a database so that they're retrievable.
I'd like to think in this day and age there are a number of tools, you'd be best advised to check with someone still involved in the worlds of academia and/or research

A good researcher uses tools to keep track of short quotes and summaries of the sources they use. Used to be 3x5 cards, now its usually some sort of computer database or spreadsheet. There are add-ons for Word specifically to help with academic papers, PhD thesis, etc. that keep the data/quotes, and can format the citations properly for end or foot notes.
