Progressive Summarization Workflow
- Danny uses progressive summarization: read papers, highlight in Zotero, import highlights into Obsidian, then review and tag key points.
- He turns referenced items into block references and tasks to ensure he checks original sources when needed.
Research Canvas That Grew Wildly
- Danny started a fake-news research canvas with about a dozen initial papers and expanded it into many subtopics as he discovered related literature.
- He used Zotero highlights and Obsidian block references to track tasks and prioritize original sources to read.
Stop When You Reach Synthesis
- Stop deep literature hunting when multiple papers repeatedly point to the same sources and answers, indicating synthesis.
- Move to combining topics or bringing in new perspectives once you can predict common paper structures and findings.
