How to use Obsidian to keep notes on journal articles?

Knowledge management
1

I am a professor who is Obsidian curious.

I would love to know how others structure their notes on journal articles in Obsidian?

In particular, do you create notes on general topics (e.g., visual working memory) with points taken from journal articles, in that main topic note? For example, in a visual working memory note, bullet points summarising papers on the topic.

Or, do you create notes that are specific to a journal article?

Or, both? And if both, how do these coexist in your Obsidian collection?

Thanks for any ideas you can provide!

I (and a lot of others) have a very Zotero-oriented workflow, so I’m creating notes specific to the article. I have a “reference” area with notes dedicated to authors, concepts, etc. so I’m usually working through material with Obsidian as opposed to using it for invention/writing tasks.
