![[organisedScholar.png]] # The "Organised Scholar" V 2.0 ### Master research skills with the power of Obsidian and Zotero. The "Organised Scholar" has been a considerable success since its release in January 2024. With the upgrades of Obsidian and also the release of Zotero V 7, it is time to provide some new polish and pizazz. ## New Templates and Workflows New plugins for both Obsidian and Zotero have improved this already powerful duo. Annotation of articles is now natively available in Obsidian in most cases, but you will learn the secret sauce in handling any PDF to keep your research notes organised and linked. ## AI Integration The explosion of AI tools has not been missed in Obsidian with a number of plugins providing greater abilities to track relationships between articles and improve synthesis in literature reviews and research generally. ## Join the Waitlist Joining the waitlist will ensure you get updates and early notification of availability.

It is a bit like creating an Excel spreadsheet for all your reading to provide an immediate reference list. ## What customers say > [!quote] > I have been working with Zotero for several years now and with Obsidian for about one year. The combination of both programmes in one workflow was a real breakthrough for my work. If I had known about the Organised Scholar course six months ago, it would have saved me a lot of tedious detail work and time. And now I've learnt a lot more and the templates are really helpful. The course is definitely worth the money. > Thanks! > **_Jörg Haasenritter** > [!quote] > Ric Raftis’ Organized Scholar Course was just what I was looking for as I began to explore both Zotero and Obsidian. As I prepare to return to full-time studies after several decades of being away from the academy, I’ve become a little overwhelmed by the number of tools that are available to improve, if not transform, my workflow. It was as if Ric understood, and prepared a course with just the right amount of detail, information and insight for me. There are a ton of people out there talking about this stuff, but I found that Ric’s approach gave me what I needed! Thanks for getting me off on the right foot Ric! > **Stephen Hurley, Toronto, Canada** ## Draft Curriculum Here is the draft content at this stage: ![[2025-01-04_11-30-32.png]] ## Join the Waitlist Joining the waitlist will ensure you get updates and early notification of availability.
