Hey #academicsky friends! Do any of you use ResearchRabbit? I'm still ironing out some of my "process" in terms of reading and research. I've found and love Zotero, but sometimes I feel like my info and annotations get lost in the shuffle. I've also looked at Notion. How do you stay organized?

I used Research Rabbit early on in my dissertation work when I was doing lit searches. I liked how it suggested related papers. Very helpful! I didn’t use it for annotating or note-taking, though. I annotated PDFs by hand using Goodnotes and my Apple Pencil.
I'm a science researcher so my needs might be different. I have ways that I keep track of what I read. The first is a massive excel file with summaries of what I think I'll need to go back to. I have entries for summary and keypoints 1->7. I like it because it is searchable. 1/🧵
I use and love Paperpile 😍 I mainly just read and don’t really take notes though (although Paperpile does handle notes nicely) so my usage sounds a bit different to yours :) The shortcuts are great, and connection to Google Docs is great too.
