• Managing Your Personal Journal Article Library

  Https://paperpile.com/ I used to use this one and liked it a lot but I was paying money for it - not a lot of money. It will let you insert references in papers. Paperpile connects to your google drive to store your papers. It has a good search engine to find similar articles. Source: about 1 year ago

• Reading/annotating papers using Paperpile

  I'm using Paperpile (https://paperpile.com/) currently on my iPad Pro and Mac to do this, and it syncs to my Google Drive. My question: with Remarkable2 can I just annotate directly on the PDFs stored on my Google Drive and expect everything just works? I.e., no disruption on Paperpile side (since it just saves the modified PDF files to Google Drive) and my annotations just magically show up when I open the paper... Source: about 1 year ago

• Bibliography management software

  Paperpile (https://paperpile.com/) is my go to. It has Google Docs (and Drive!) integration too. Source: over 1 year ago

• Im a new 1st year PhD candidate starting Monday… I would really appreciate any tips or things you wish you had known at the beginning of your PhD. I have worked with my supervisor before so have a pretty good relationship although I am not naive to the fact this will change over time.

  Citation manager, keep a regular schedule, stay fit and use tools that help you - paperpile.com curvenote.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• What's the best option for citations + file in Logseq, without cloud access?

  Yup, it's a great feature. The app itself is too fiddly for me, I had trouble managing my duplicates. Since I am writing mostly in gdocs, I am keeping my literature in https://paperpile.com . They offer all the integration you could ever want and native citing into Word, gdocs and logseq via link. I chose it primarily due to its good iPad app and integration. Totally worth the few bucks.

• (Serious) If storing notes is a process that never will end, how does one adjust after categorizing their notes in to sections when new notes come in on the fly and time is finite?

  Personally, I like the Getting Things Done method, which has you store notes in an "inbox" (for me, that's a Trello board), which you prune daily or weekly, which involves pruning out the stuff that really isn't important or that can just be done right then. Once I deem a thought or some information worthy of long term storage, I use the mind mapping software TheBrain. That allows me to store information quickly... Source: 6 months ago

• What format do you save articles?

  Works really great! Also, I'm a 20-year user of TheBrain (thebrain.com), and I can drag and drop the files from my Obsidian vault to TB as links. Then, I can edit those files in TB, link them to other 12,000+ thoughts in my TB, and those edits will show up in Obsidian; vice versa, edits made in Obsidian show up in TB. Source: about 1 year ago

• Note taking apps vs (personal) wikis as a personal knowledge store

  In this type of programs the best is theBrain https://thebrain.com/. Its dynamic mind maps allow store any quantity of information there. Source: over 2 years ago
