Eugene📚 Fifteen years of my personal BibTeX database!
Fifteen years ago, I started keeping my own BibTeX database — just a plain text file edited manually, line by line.
Later I switched to JabRef, and everything became much smoother!
Over the years, the database has grown to almost 2,000 entries — and it’s no longer just a list of references, but a snapshot of the knowledge I’ve interacted with.
Because I always fill in the Abstract field, full-text search now lets me literally “remember everything.”
Among all my long-term “personal productivity” projects, this one has turned out to be the most valuable.

razzlom is always sadMy dear personal knowledge base managers, how do you group/split your notes?
Let me explain.
1. We have a note "Python" and a link to "Python Tutorial" a note where we have everything about Python syntax (variable definition, functions, classes, if/else, for, etc.).
Or
2. We have a note "Python" and links to many other notes like "Python variables", "Python functions", "Python classes", "Python if/else", "Python for", etc.
Or maybe
3. We have a note "Python" and a link to "Python Tutorial" note that has links to many other notes like "Python variables", "Python functions", "Python classes", "Python if/else", "Python for", etc.
Now I'm thinking about how to make it comfortable to search/read it in the future.

m0bi ⁂Czy mamy w polskim #fedi osoby #Logseq-owe?
Porozmawiałbym, wymienił doświadczenia, ciekawi mnie zwłaszcza wykorzystanie w zespole i synchronizacja. Jakiej używacie? Ja przez git-a

Strona trochę podkłamuje sloganem, bo Logseq to DUUUUUŻO więcej niż #PersonalKnowledgeBase

I'm surprised there no off-the-shelf #selfhosted solution for scraping and indexing browsing history for #personalknowledgebase use...
BastettI've been developing my note-taking and organizational skills over the last few years.
I use a tool called LogSeq, though there are others with their own pros/cons.
I'm also reading Building a Second Brain, a book on this topic, which is helping refine my processes somewhat.
It's an interesting space.

Ten quick tips for making things findable
The distribution of scholarly content today happens in the context of an immense deluge of information found on the internet. As a result, researchers face serious challenges when archiving and finding information that relates to their work. Library science principles provide a framework for navigating information ecosystems in order to help researchers improve findability of their professional output. Here, we describe the information ecosystem which consists of users, context, and content, all 3 of which must be addressed to make information findable and usable. We provide a set of tips that can help researchers evaluate who their users are, how to archive their research outputs to encourage findability, and how to leverage structural elements of software to make it easier to find information within and beyond their publications. As scholars evaluate their research communication strategies, they can use these steps to improve how their research is discovered and reused.
