The nice thing about doing that is with the filter/sort you could say find all the papers that mention x, or ones you read when you were researching y, or just your favorites from a 3 years ago for a fun read. ![]() I also would have 2-time tags for first reading& publication date, and a checkbox for a reading list. Then depending on your needs, I would make a few properties (multi-selects) like quality, publisher, main subject, other smaller useful points, times in the past you have referenced it and whatever else would help you quickly find it. In each item, I would link to or have the file of the paper as well as any notes and links to papers that have some more background information (if needed). My imputation of that would be something like one database for all your papers. Notion should be good at fulfilling those needs. If I understand what you are asking for you want a system that will keep track of papers, notes that you have taken on them and their citations. Notoin is very good at databases and accessing information well. However, having only one place for everything and it's customizability may make it's lackings a good trade-off. The thing with Notion is if you put the time in it is really good at most things but not the best. I'm not very far in my program, so I'm sure this set-up will develop as I get further and start writing my thesis. ![]() But I guess I'm glad they offer LaTeX at all. I do try to take some notes for each paper in the database sub-pages, but my line of research is very math heavy, and not being able to do in-line LaTeX is rather annoying. ![]() So far, this is working quite well for me, and has been a huge relief on the mental headache of keeping track of all this. I could go on, but as you can see, everything is linked, and this ability is what sold me on notion. Research groups are linked to an institution, and the PI is also a contact link. Journals are linked to publishing institutions, and I keep track of their impact factor. I also record my status in reading each paper, and store the pdf. I can sort papers by tagged topics, date published, etc. Institutions (Universities, Labs, Gov, Funding)Įach paper is linked to a journal, each author linked to a contact.I've never used Mendeley before, so I'm not sure how that compares (though I have heard good things about it). My question is, what does your work-flow look like to automate/reduce the work load needed for this? How does it reconcile with overleaf/LaTeX and google docs? creating a database and using the web-clipper seems like a lot of clicks (especially later when you start putting it in laTeX, or is it not? I use LaTeX (overleaf) for writing/collaboration, and google docs for collaboration on cover letters, rebuttal letters, etc. I used an excel sheet, a google form, zotero, mendeley and desperate printing and highlighting by hand. I usually spend a lot of time reading academic papers, taking notes on them, and then citing them later in my papers or archiving them for later reference. In general, I feel I will make the switch very soon, except for one of my main activities. Notion is not that app yet, but I have found it to be very interesting and I'm now trying to do my research before taking the leap. I just found Notion a few days ago while i was fantasizing about a "One app to do it all". This is a long read regarding a specific issue I have before switching Notion.
