📜️ Zotero Research Paper Workflow | Full Comprehensive Setup Guide 🛠️

Overview

So I've heard that much of my Zotero workflow was still too complex to fathom or setup by others so I have endeavored yet again to make a comprehensive overview video of the process but this time in a sandbox environment with granular setup instructions where appropriate and hoping that this will really open the door for many where this workflow is concerned :)

Obsidian Media Extended: The Best Way To Take Notes On Videos 🎥️

Media Extended is the best approach to note taking on video files that ive seen yet. It makes it super easy to get what ive always wanted from video notes:

• Timestamps that jump to that point in the video
• Timestamps without effort
• Easy markdown notes generated live while watching a video

I started with YiNote early in 2020 and moved to the browser extension memex when that offered a better experience and now finally this extension already in the Obsidian eco system adds so much value with such simple functionality.

There are 3~ main points of criticism i have about the plugin that could be worked on, but by and large its an essential at this point.

Main critique:

• The cursor end point after timestamp insertion being on the left v.s. the right
• The cursor focus after opening the plugin's modal
• The cursor focus after using the plugin's modal
• The ability to just hit enter and have the modal open the media after pasting is missing

Check out the plugin and let me know what you think!

🐇️ Research Rabbit & Zotero Sync | Research Paper Discovery Will Never Be The Same 📜️

In this video I cover the new Research Rabbit Zotero Sync and how to leverage tools in both applications for an amazingly robust workflow around research paper discovery, management, and note taking!

One of my favorite ways of interacting with research papers now is taking an existing Zotero collection, syncing it to Research Rabbit (RR), then then discovering new papers with RR and syncing them back to Zotero and using the Sci-Hub add-on to make sure i get copies of every paper for my research. There's a lot of great add-ons in Zotero to aid in your Research :)

🐇️Research Rabbit: The Best Academic Tool of 2021 (Research Paper Discovery Will Never Be The Same!)

Research Rabbit

Is a new tool in the academic space that is quickly becoming a favorite of those in the PKM sphere.

Research Rabbit makes dicovering research papers easier than ever before and with some clever integrations with Zotero and some add-on's *cough* Sci-Hub *cough*, essentially the entire work of literature and research opens to you.

There's a lot to love about this service and the team behind it are absolutely incredible people. Highly recommend checking out the service.

You can find it below along with a code that may get you moved up the wait list :)
