🔬
A simple, all-manual Notion system for empirical research, in any field. Track every paper or study from raw data to submission — one self-contained workspace per paper, holding a code log, files, to-dos, and meeting notes.

How to use this template
- Duplicate the workspace — in the table below, open Duplicate me — Project workspace, click ••• → Duplicate, and rename the copy to your paper's title.
- Fill in the header — Authors, Priority, Publication status, Research stage, Journal, and your Overleaf / GitHub / Data-path links.
- Work inside the page — log each script, file, task, and meeting as you go. Every paper is independent, so editing one never affects the others.
What's inside each paper
- 💻 Code & steps — one row per script (Python, Stata, SAS, R — rename the tags for your field), noting what you did, the variables you created, and the datasets you cleaned or merged.
- 📎 Files & notes — titled notes with file uploads (.md, .txt, outputs, and more).
- ✅ To-do — a running checklist for the paper.
- 🤝 Meetings — co-author meeting notes, organised by date.
- 📚 References & literature — papers you cite or review: title, authors, citation, and a short summary.
