# Writing and organizing literature notes for scientific writing

-This talk is heavily inspired by an excerpt from the book "How to Take
-Smart Notes" by Sonke Ahrens where he talks about writing a paper step
-by step. My note taking process was heavily inspired by this book and
-its arguably the part of my config I have written the most code for as
-I wanted to personalize a lot of it. One of the most interesting parts
-of it is how I write and organize my literature notes after reading
-scientific articles. I am a 4th year university student in Chemical
-Engineering so I have some relation to scientific writing for various
-projects I have worked on for uni. I don't believe my workflow is
-perfect for this, but since I have worked a lot on it, I think it will
-be something useful to showcase and others interested in the topic
-will gain something from it.
-
-This talk will focus on how Emacs has aided me in scientific writing
-and will cover how I use various packages for this. Featured will be:
-Org-noter, one of my favourite emacs packages which I use to annotate
-articles using org-mode while reading them. I will focus primarily on
-its integration with my org-roam-capture-templates and how it,
-org-roam-bibtex and ivy-bibtex work together to very easily create and
-flesh out literature notes for the articles I find, but I will also
-briefly mention how I annotate articles. Then, how I use org-roam to
-then take what I learned from this literature and create permanent
-notes on it which I can then add easily to my Zettelkasten. And
-finally, how I organize both literature and permanent notes on a
-subject using my own project, the zetteldesk package, and how I can
-very easily create a first draft of my work using this. With the draft
-created organically through my notes, it is then almost effortless to
-write the final work, as it consists simply of reading the draft,
-making small changes and fixes and perfecting it so it is a ready
-product.
-
-My ideal talk duration would be 20 minutes so I can explain my
-workflow with this set of packages without skimming over too many
-details. I will have time to touch on how I use all the packages that
-participate in this workflow, and will also be able to show some of
-the elisp that does all the work behind the scenes, which I personally
-consider very useful.

+Literature notes are a cornerstone of one's zettelkasten. Especially for scientific writing which needs to be based on bibliography, having notes on the literature you read is essential. Inspired by a chapter of "How to Take Smart Notes" by Sonke Ahrens - one of the best Zettelkasten books out there - which talks about the process of writing a scientific article, I crafted a heavily personalized workflow for writing and organizing my literature notes, which I wanted to present to you. Due to university, I have worked on assignments meant to simulate scientific articles and through them I refined this workflow to what it is today, which I am very happy with. I even wrote my own package for addressing part of this workflow, which will be a pivotal part of the talk. I have tried to not overcomplicate the talk, but a familiarity to zettelkasten and scientific writing is expected to get the most out of the talk.
