Introduction

Note: an atomized note including a point, or a method described in a paper, or your thoughts while reading the paper, or anything else you drew from a paper.

A note in Zotero looks something like this (below), with quote sentences and your own thoughts.

Knowledge: Simply, knowledge = notes.

Knowledge Workspace: a place to manage your note in a hierarchical outline.

Backlinks

Go back to the paper from your knowledge (bi-directional links or backlinks). Click the note and Zotero link, back to the paper when you needed (this is my favorite part).
