title: Comprehensive Academic Workflow from Reading to Writing in Markdown
author: myself (@anon56682183)
In the first half, I discuss and weigh setups and organizational practices for doing academic work in Markdown/Obsidian. In the second half, I lay out an overview of several tools necessary for the various steps of the workflow, covering various Obsidian plugins, and conclude with my own setup.
Also, the whole write-up was written fully on Obsidian, and all graphs are created with Obsidian’s built-in Mermaid implementation!
