Projects and Papers Manager

Why did I create this template?

Conducting researches and writing research articles are time consuming and cumbersome processes if the needed material are not organized. I myself have experienced this issue while writing articles.

Having a notion database with information regarding all of the research projects along with the relevant research papers would no doubt save time while conducting research.

Further, it is always a cumbersome process to organize the bibliographies and citations that are used in references, however having a notion database that organizes this and one that is easily accessible makes writing articles a much more relaxing process. 

What's inside the template?

🔸 This template has a database for your current projects and papers that you are reading.

🔸 Each project page has a brain storming section (embed a Miro file), and a submissions database including details of your project proposal, report and research article.

🔸 Each project is linked to your relevant papers. Use the paper database to store all the important details so that they are easily accessible.

🔸 Use the bibliography generator linked in the page to generate a citation and bibliography, then copy and paste in relevant column. This makes it easy for you to always have your citations and bibliographies freely accessible at all times.

How to use the template?
