Latex can be a good way to take care of formatting issues without ever having to think about it. Overleaf really helpful on that end. Also most journals provide their format in latex nowadays, makes life so much easier.

@@dorcasmalahlela2805 I'm in Engineering. I was really overwhelmed by latex too. Wouldn't have used it if our of my PhD level courses didn't make it a requirement for assignment work. But once I got over the initial discomfort, the availability of easy to implement templets was a major help. I use Overleaf, their interface makes it easier to handle. Also they have a vast collection of document templets to choose from. My university even has its PhD thesis template in latex( as one of the options), made it a breeze to just upload onto overleaf and just focus on the content and not worry about the formatting.

Ok, I've made it this many years just watching youtube videos and lurking without subscribing, but I'm now officially subscribed to your channel so I never miss another update. Your videos have been so, so informative this past year as someone who returned for a Masters after some time, and is now writing up a PhD proposal. I'm currently working on my MA Dissertation Literature Review and Litmaps is a total game-changer, especially as a visual learner. And as someone with ADHD in a postgraduate programme as well, I'm looking forward to testing out paper digest more thoroughly as a way of helping to recall broader arguments or methodologies, which can sometimes be a bit harder to isolate for me than minutiae, especially with the volume of reading for a Dissertation. These all sound incredibly helpful and really looking forward to exploring them all further. Thank you for sharing these, and your consistently invaluable advice!

what other tools like it have it tried and rejected? I've tried it and found it very difficult to use compared to simply browsing citations on semantic scholar. I've also fallen in love with semantic scholar's paper feeds feature, which you activate by adding papers to a library folder. I've bugged them asking for integration with other library management tools like zotero. but semanticscholar doesn't let me view an overview of things in a time vs citation-influence graph view the way litmaps does. I guess I'm curious what features you use. KZfaq is terrible for science because you probably won't be notified xD

The algorithm just served your channel up to me a few days ago so I know I'm late to the party. When I first saw paper-digest, I was excited, but after about a week of usage, I have grown disenchanted with it. I wanted to use it to help prioritize a bunch of papers I need to read, but after about 3 to 5 papers summarized, I get repeated "500 internal service errors". This happens every time I try to summarize multiple papers. When I review the summaries, they aren't very good. The summarizing algorithm misses too many important details or tosses up some statistical analyses without proper context to really understand the point. In the end, it has not been the time-saver I was hoping it would be. Litmaps, on the other hand, is FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!! It helped me turn around a revise & resubmit I received very quickly. You know good ol' reviewer 2 (it's always reviewer 2) made the criticism that I needed more up to date references in one of my sections. Litmaps made it a simple process to make sure that section was as current as current could be.

I'm not a PhD but involved in writing technical documents for certifications and production manuals/instructions describing every component in the electronics industry and struggled with "putting the card before the horse" many times. Very frustrating to a point where in one day I managed to only write one page and it still wasn't good. Along the way I found some way to improve this. 1. Don't start to write. Writing is your enemy. Forget about paragraphs and tittles. 2. Take a pencil, papers and an eraser and draw maps to get the concepts which need explaining in the right order. (can take hours or days for large documents with many interrelated details.) 3. Create the complete "story" without thinking to much about the right words in your head following the map. Sit back and think some more about the details. You might find places where the map is not complete or just wrong. Pretty bad because the map must be modified. But you didn't waste any time writing something and looking for words. After this very hard and at times difficult labor, writing has been reduced to a lexical exercise because the required structure onto which you can lean to write meaningful compact sentences and paragraphs is readily available.

Unfortunately, my supervisor has not been at all supportive about me writing and publishing journal articles. I have a dissertation I am proud of, but all the many details seem so interconnected I don't know how to break it up into articles. I think I should have been taught that skill, but I wasn't. What can I do now? I writing itself is less of a problem than how to identify the smallest subset of the work that can reasonably be published and how to separate that bit out.
