See one way that researchers can cultivate a healthy balance note-taking and note-making!
Bianca is a researcher in Computer Science with interest in Knowledge Graphs, Data Semantics and Engaged Research. During her PhD studies she discovered how easy research and literature notes could get messy. In this video Bianca will show how she created an academic workflow using Obsidian and other tools to facilitate her process of knowledge creation and the visualisation of links between her work and the academic literature.
