Dear Scholar,

When doing innovative research, you need to do a lot of reading, looking for a tiny grain of insight or a gap that fits your research perfectly and allows you to identify new publishable insight. Most of what you read, though, is not strictly relevant. Looking for important, impactful questions can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

A new tool we are reviewing this week promises to help you find that needle using AI: Anara.com.

Anara can combine insights from dozens of papers and answer questions on them, just like ChatGPT projects. The key difference is that it is made for academics, always answers using references to your paper, and can combine books, papers, video lectures and other formats. It even helps with note-taking.

Academic Knowledge Management Webinar • May 3rd

The AKM 2.0 webinar will combine effective note-taking strategies and project management skills for academics. Here are the problems I am trying to solve for you:

• You spend hours writing, but struggle to find your ideas later
• You're taking notes that pile up, but don’t help you synthesize
• You feel stuck because you can’t see the “big picture” in your research
• Your research feels like "going in circles", and you over-iterate
• You waste time manually organizing or duplicating information
• You keep forgetting which paper said what

If any of these sound like you, AKM 2.0 will give you a strategy to tackle these problems.

Of course, you will get a recording if the time does not suit you, and you will get access to the effortless academic community for support and follow-up questions.

Free webinar ticket with course bundle

Those who decide to go all-in and get the Essential Course Bundle will, receive a free webinar ticket. This bundle includes the three most popular and important courses on note-taking, lit reviews and academic writing.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend,
​
