Hey, @academicchatter people, do you use for your academic work? Care to throw all your useful tips into this thread to share with others?

@tarasovich @academicchatter @phdlife so many! But definitely put some thought into how one's collection will be organized. This true for any note-keeping system though. Particularly with plain text, you need a bit of pkm philosophy to keep yourself on the rails.

@tarasovich @academicchatter @phdlife https://youtube.com/@morganeua?si=KqMxgVsuBS3IA1pM This is a YouTube channel that has been very influential on my own note taking process, and worth a watch.

@tarasovich @academicchatter @phdlife I wrote up some rationale for how I like to organize and name my literature notes. https://notes.wjdenny.com/bibtex

i have a feeling i asked about this before but:

do you take reading notes per project or do you have one central "pool" for reading notes shared across your work?

or i guess a better way to put it: do you do your readings per project?

there's no "correct" answer ofc but i basically wonder how folk go about this because as stuff i do changed a few times, got larger, and diverse it became a big mess for me (& i used to use the "central" approach)

@kutuptiyini @academicchatter @phdlife I go with central pool, since my projects are related to each other and I want to more easily use those resources across projects. Mess can be managed with the right tools; I use a Zettelkasten approach adapted to use in the Obsidian app. This goes for reading notes, data, code, etc.

Surely there was a way for my college to let us know they were no longer supporting email forwarding (for "security reasons", no less) without disclosing every employees personal email to everyone using said email forwarding. @academicchatter

Anyone interested in a $250 stipend for peer reviewing an OER textbook, "Intro to Communication and Media Studies"? It's adapted from several sources and has some original contributions by both me and my students. Due to a federal grant requirement, this is only open to those living in the U.S. I need three reviewers! Happy to answer any questions.

@jjsylvia @academicchatter @academicsunite what's the time commitment? Is there a template or rubric for review or is it open? do they need to have a communications and media background? I don't (linguistics), but years of experience working with English as a second/subsequent language and could provide some feedback on accessibility for that demographic.
