Overview and Challenges:

This workshop, led by Morteza, introduces a groundbreaking Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) System. It addresses common challenges faced by scholars using traditional tools like Endnote, Mendeley, and Evernote, such as disorganization and inefficiency in managing research notes and literature.

The PKM Solution:

The PKM system integrates tools like Obsidian, Zotero, and ResearchRabbit, revolutionizing note-taking and literature review processes. It emphasizes advanced tagging for a better representation and accessibility of notes, contrasting the limitations of conventional tools. This system not only organizes research materials but also streamlines the process of writing literature reviews, allowing for efficient navigation through tagged information.

Impact and Benefits:

Ideal for students and academics, the workshop demonstrates how to effectively manage extensive research materials, significantly improving productivity and transforming academic workflows. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies for more efficient research and knowledge management.
