[[obsidian使用心得（MOC）]] Hi Everyone, I have some great news! I am a PhD candidate in the study of religion of the ancient Mediterranean world, integrating other disciplines like sociology, anthropology, ethnography, etc. I used Obsidian for a brand new research project that turned into a full-length article publication at the top journal of my field! It took me only 3 months from start to finish thanks to Obsidian (most research articles take about 2 years in my field). I'm seriously debating if I should include Obsidian in my acknowledgements lol Certainly! If you would like more information, then just let me know. Here is a rough outline on how Obsidian made the process much more efficient and effective: 1. I began with a brand new topic to which I had very little exposure 2. I created a provisional bibliography that grew in # of sources as well as organization/themes. Each entry was a backlink that I would fill out as I go 3. My project/paper is very interdisciplinary (e.g., sociolinguistics, ritual theory, anthropology, neuroscience, ethology, sociology, religious studies, classics, ancient history), so being able to find recurring themes/ideas in a cogent way was very critical. I'd be sure make backlinks and quick notes so that I could write about these interactions later. This made my research standout as I wasn't just repeating scholarly debates, but I was adding a new perspective/assessment on existing debates. 4. Although Obsidian was very helpful, I still had to put in the work! Nothing replaces good reading/notetaking, and critical/creative thinking 5. Obsidian tags, highlights, backlinks, and blockquotes were the most instrumental. 6. With tags, it wasn't so much the search feature, but the ability to quickly see them as I would review my notes. So tags, highlights, and blockquotes were easy way for me to review the salient points of my notes 7. With backlinks, they were useful as I mentioned for the working bibliography. But also I could create notes on certain thoughts that I think would serve as key premises for my argument. I'd create them as a backlink and fill that note as I would progressively do my research Now onto the draft/writing phase. All of the key ideas were there in my notes, so it was just a matter of referencing them via backlinks. Essentially, I'd create an outline where each section was a list of key ideas and backlinks. Then writing each section in my own words was easier because I knew both the main idea and the key sources for my argument. Now onto the revision process. I would granularize and enumerate each comment from the reviewers. With each comment, I would make a list of backlinks (both existing of future ones) to address each comment. At this point, Obsidian had rolled out block references, which made this even easier!
