Shared repository

Git repository with

  • References: references.bib in Git repository
  • PDFs: Git-LFS
  • Obsidian literature summaries
  • If Word integration (citation plugin) is needed: Zotero (for individual projects)

Local workflow

Zotero can be used (recommended) to facilitate the export to the repository

TODO

  • How to export PDFs efficiently / add the record to the references
  • TBD: PDF Commenting (Zotero??)

Online workflow

  • No setup is required.
  • Uploading PDFs to git-lfs is not possible.

TODO: Create concept notes with a script (not manually with obsidian/Zotero?)

Pull request

  • Labot support is enabled for pull requests (e.g., checking consistency, updating references).

Example repository: work_hub

TODO:

  • PDFs cannot be uploaded online - must use the local cli for git-lfs?!
  • Zotero vs. JabRef?
  • Update repo setup: include Git-LFS
  • Existing projects: Move PDFs to git repositories with Git-LFS Nextcloud in sections 25 and 36.
  • TBD: CoLRev repositories (PDFs and obsidian vaults)
