Academic Workflow
How I manage my academic workflow of reading and writing papers.
The Answer: Obsidian.md
Obsidian is an amazing knowledge management system, which does exactly what it says. Write notes in markdown, link notes together, and get a navigatable graph between connected notes and ideas. There are a vast amount of themes and community plugins to chose from to truly customize your workflow.
Zotero Integration
Before setting up Obsidian, I was using Google Scholar lists and manually generated .bib files to keep track of all my references. This is very unfeasible to manage once you start to get 10 or more references. Zotero is a citation manager that really shines using the Better Bibtex and Zotfile plugins. Adding the Zotero Integration plugin in Obsidian allows for you to import all of your annotations in a Zotero PDF to a markdown note in Obsidian. Better yet, you can set up templates and rules for how the information is displayed in the resulting markdown file.
