# Writing and organizing literature notes for scientific writing

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.
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.
