Hi there - non-coder and first day on obsidian so bear with me
What I’m trying to do
I’m using the Zotero integration with Obsidian with the aim of evaluating and synthesising a bunch of medical papers for a literature review for my research project. I’ve set up writing templates that auto-populate when I “open literature note”, for me to note-take in. I’d like to take notes in bullet points, and ultimately want this to populate into a dynamic table using dataview. I’ve managed to figure out how to get dataview to extract info from subheadings when i use :: and type inline, but as aforementioned, I want to use dot points, not sentence form, and i would like to be able to view it all in a table.
this is is the code i’ve got so far
TABLE
title AS Title,
thesis AS Thesis,
theoretical_framework_and_method AS "Theoretical Framework and Method",
research_design AS "Research Design",
quality_of_evidence_used AS "Quality of Evidence Used",
findings AS Findings,
gaps_and_limitations AS "Gaps and Limitations",
future_research_suggestions AS "Future Research Suggestions",
connections_and_critiques AS "Connections and Critiques",
my_notes AS "My Notes",
target_audience AS "Target Audience",
country_conducted_in AS "Country Conducted In"
FROM "papers"
SORT file.name DESC
I’ll attach some photos of what my tables look like, sometimes the dot points show up and sometimes not
Things I have tried
I’ve scoured the forums (really have no idea how coding works so has been a lot of copy paste and chatgpt to modify codes haha)
I have tried the following code too
TABLE
file.link AS Title,
list(thesis) AS Thesis,
list(theoretical_framework_and_method) AS "Theoretical Framework and Method",
list(research_design) AS "Research Design",
list(quality_of_evidence_used) AS "Quality of Evidence Used",
list(findings) AS Findings,
list(gaps_and_limitations) AS "Gaps and Limitations",
list(future_research_suggestions) AS "Future Research Suggestions",
list(connections_and_critiques) AS "Connections and Critiques",
list(my_notes) AS "My Notes",
list(target_audience) AS "Target Audience",
list(country_conducted_in) AS "Country Conducted In"
WHERE contains(tags, "palliation")
SORT status DESC, read DESC
would be really grateful for a solution or workaround, obviously happy to use another plugin altogether, this was just the one i saw mentioned on Literature Reviews using Zotero & Obsidian | by Alexandra Phelan | Medium
thank you kind internet strangers!!!
