&lt;p&gt;When you open this vault in Obsidian for the first time, you&amp;rsquo;ll find a clean, opinionated structure:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"&gt;&lt;code class="language-fallback" data-lang="fallback"&gt;&lt;span class="line"&gt;&lt;span class="cl"&gt;00-Inbox/ ← temporary landing zone for quick captures
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="line"&gt;&lt;span class="cl"&gt;10-Projects/ ← active research projects (thesis chapters, papers)
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="line"&gt;&lt;span class="cl"&gt;20-Areas/ ← ongoing responsibilities (teaching, admin, methods)
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="line"&gt;&lt;span class="cl"&gt;30-Resources/ ← reference material, authors, concepts
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="line"&gt;&lt;span class="cl"&gt;40-Archive/ ← completed or inactive notes
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="line"&gt;&lt;span class="cl"&gt;_Templates/ ← all templates in one place
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="line"&gt;&lt;span class="cl"&gt;_Queries/ ← pre-built Dataview dashboards
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 id="setting-up-in-5-minutes"&gt;Setting Up in 5 Minutes&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Download and unzip the vault&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open Obsidian → &amp;ldquo;Open folder as vault&amp;rdquo; → select the unzipped folder&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install the &lt;strong&gt;Dataview&lt;/strong&gt; plugin (Settings → Community plugins)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open &lt;code&gt;_Queries/Research Dashboard.md&lt;/code&gt; to see your active projects&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s it. Start by adding a paper you&amp;rsquo;re reading using the &lt;code&gt;Literature Note&lt;/code&gt; template (&lt;code&gt;Cmd/Ctrl+T&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Literature Note Template (Zotero + Obsidian)</title><link>https://augmentedscholars.com/downloads/literature-note-template/</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://augmentedscholars.com/downloads/literature-note-template/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="how-the-template-works"&gt;How the Template Works&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you trigger the template in Obsidian, Templater runs a script that reads your frontmatter and optionally queries the Zotero API (if you supply the citekey). In the simplest version, you fill in the citekey manually and the template structures everything else.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
