The research recall problem

Researchers consume massive amounts of information but retain a fraction.

01

You read a paper with the perfect methodology - can't find it now

02

Citation hunting takes hours of re-searching databases

03

Notes scattered across Zotero, PDFs, random documents

04

You know you've seen a relevant figure but can't remember where

05

Months of reading distilled into incomplete notes
