Knowledge management

• work-hub

For knowledge management tasks, we use Obsidian.

• Each note (paper summary or concept) should be an a separate, atomic note (see 1, 2).
• Paper summaries should have the filename citation_key.md, with the citation_key corresponding to the ID in a BibTex file.

Shared repository

Git repository with

• References: references.bib in Git repository
• PDFs: Git-LFS (add locally) - PDFs cannot be uploaded online - must use the local cli for git-lfs
• Obsidian literature summaries
• If Word integration (citation plugin) is needed: Zotero (for individual projects)

Pull request: Labot support is enabled for pull requests (e.g., checking consistency, updating references).

Example repository: work-hub
