As a researcher, you collect a lot of information and materials from various sources. Organizing and keeping track of all these materials can be a daunting task.
Here’s a video demonstrating how to use the Copy To Notion extension to save any relevant materials to your research page:
In this article, I'll show you how to collect and organize your research materials into your Notion page efficiently.
Step 1: Create a Research Page in Notion
Create a new page in Notion and name it after your research project or topic. Within this page, create sections that correspond to the types of materials you want to save. For example, you might create sections for Notes, Citations, Screenshots, and Bookmarks.
You can duplicate the Notion page on the screenshot below, and customize it to your needs.
Step 2: Install Copy To Notion Extension
This is where Copy To Notion comes in - a browser extension that allows you to save notes, citations, screenshots, and bookmarks directly to your Notion workspace.
You'll need to install the Copy To Notion extension and share the page you created with it.
Step 3: Save Materials to Your Notion Page
Now you're ready to start saving your research materials to your Notion page.
For example, let's say you come across an article that you want to save for later. Simply:
- Highlight the text you want to save,
- Right-click, and select “Save selected text” under "Copy to Notion".
