1️⃣ Differentiate Research Questions from Gaps
-- Research Question: Broad, well-documented
-- Research Gap: Specific, underexplored
2️⃣ Use Citation Networks:
-- Collect cited papers and find similarities.
-- Identify missed papers as potential research gaps.
3️⃣ Utilize Litmaps
-- Import Zotero references into Litmaps (now they can be synched)
-- Visualize connections and discover new related articles.
-- Spot gaps with disconnected literature.
4️⃣ Monitor Your Research:
Enable "Monitor" in Litmaps to stay updated on new publications.

PhD Students – How to convert your rough notes into a paper draft in 1 hour?
Let’s first quickly understand the concept of rough notes.
As a PhD student, you often read papers and make notes.
Sometimes, you extract data from the papers you read.
You record this data in an excel sheet.
Irrespective of how you record your notes or data, you can convert it into a paper draft.
More interesting, you can do this automatically.
