Something I have used in the past to help with plotting and research for a novel is mind-mapping.
This enables you to easily pull data and ideas together with notes, references and even URLs to further research areas.
Plot outlines, characters, locations can all be held together in one place - even scene synopsis.
I use Mindjet at work but there is a free version I am currently playing with (Freemind)
Here is a link:

Hope it is of some use and may help with plotting!
